Changes made in the home can collectively substantially reduce the amount and type of chemicals in the environment.

Changes made in the home can collectively substantially reduce the amount and type of chemicals in the environment.  It is particularly important to reduce or eliminate these chemicals from entering our waterways.  That means managing what goes down the drains. There are alternatives that are beneficial for your health, wallet and the environment!
