When you are beginning the process of "greening" your life, it can be daunting. We read about all the hidden dangers lurking under our kitchen sinks, never mind pesticides on our fruit, BPA in water bottles, VOCs, phthalates... the list goes on and on. Before you throw your hands up (and your household budget out the window) start with one simple change.
One thing that is easy (and economical) to change is laundry detergent. Over the last few months, I have done some research to find a great smelling laundry detergent that is also is hypoallergenic, not tested on animals, biodegradable, non-toxic, free of allergens, dyes, perfumes and petroleum-based solvents. I found a product from a small up-and-coming company called Sun & Earth. They make a lot of great products including a Deep Cleaning Laundry Detergent that smells like fresh oranges. Yum... And it's only $6.49 for 50 ounces.

My husband and I have been gradually switching our everyday household items such as laundry detergent, dishwashing soap and shampoo over to organic and eco-friendly products. Try not to feel overwhelmed to begin, though I know it isn't easy My suggestion is to do a little at a time and pick the items that you use the most to make the biggest difference.
