GreenTowns Lifestyle Advisor, Wendy Martinenas
When someone says “not really” to the question: Do you try to live a green lifestyle? People often end with “but I did just buy some green cleaning products.” Many times, people are not sure exactly why they made this eco-friendly choice over the conventional product, which is living proof that the buzz about green has entered into the unconscious mind of the general population. Green cleaning may be trendy but it is definitely not a fad. Green cleaning is here to stay, simply because it is healthier for people and for our earth.
Which would you rather have come in contact with your body, and enter the air that you breathe in your home? A plant derivative or a potentially cancer causing synthetic chemical? Which would you rather have drain into the ground and enter your water system? A substance that naturally becomes a part of the earth, or one that retains its toxic properties? With choices like these, paying a little bit more for an eco-friendly cleaning product becomes easier, wouldn’t you say? Handy on Snappy Green’s Resources page, is this link that identifies the dangers lurking in your common household cleaners. Get educated! Your family is worth it.

Thanks for all the healthy tips Wendy! SnappyGreen and your advice have enabled me to seamlessly incorporate healthier and more earth-friendly changes by taking small steps. It is amazing how easy it is to use vinegar, baking soda and other easy to grab items for so many green ways to clean up. My bathrooms are sparkling cleanwithout compromising anyone’s health.
Hi Ilene: I love the fact that you are using products that are not only eco friendly but economical too. Thanks for following Snappy Green.
