]]> Passion is what drives my everyday life. I am PASSIONATE  about making a difference in the world.  Even if one person becomes inspired about making a difference because of my passion, then I will have done my job.  It wasn’t hard for me to read the backs of the labels on our household products to see that there were TONS of toxic ingredients in them.  Kim mentioned in her last post about 6 ingredients to avoid because they are endocrine disruptors, but there are actually sooooooo many more to avoid, and becoming educated about them gives you the power to make educated choices on where to spend your hard earned money. Every dollar you spend on a product equals your vote on what companies will continue to make.  If you encourage these big corporations to keep making toxic products then they will, because it’s cheap for them to keep putting these toxic ingredient in their products.

Did you know:

  • that Europe bans 1,371 toxic chemicals from their personal care products and the US bans only 11?
  • the FDA does not regulate the personal care products industry and hopes that cosmetic companies will do their due diligence and issue safe products?
  • “safe”, “organic” and “natural” does not mean your products do not contain any toxic chemicals as well?
  • 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will get cancer in their lifetime, 1 in 68 children and 1 in 42 boys are identified with autism spectrum disorder in the US, and that Alzheimers is up 500% in the past 20 years?
  • according to the President’s Cancer Panel only 10% of cancer is genetic and 90% is caused by environmental factors?  (www.AvaAndersonNonToxic.com)

So, if only 10% of cancer is genetic, and 90% is environmental, why wouldn’t you try to control what you put in (and on) your body if you have the choice? While you can’t completly control the air you breathe, you can certainly control the food you eat and the products you buy (or make!) and use.  

This is my passion. 

I will be making an air freshener with the divine smell of the Purification Essential Oil from Kim’s starter kit in my next post because I can ‘passionately’ smell my niece’s diaper pail at the moment.  Till next time!
