Answer 3

The environmentalist want to say that every thing is toxic and u should lie down and die. Well the earth has many things to neutralize most.  Example

    HCL very bad acids

    Caustic soda bad base

     Mix together to a PH of 7 and what do u have ????    Just table salt and water.

Mother nature has only 3 things . PH 1 is strong acid ,decreasing as the no increase to PH7 which is salt. to a PH 14 is strong base. that is why the oceans are salty.

Answer 4

For the makeup, there are many companies that do not use any known harmful chemicals such as The Body Shop. They also have nail polish free of Formaldehyde, DBP, Toluene, and Phtalate. Opi also has new nail polish free of certain chemicals. Instead of using wipes, use anti-bacterial gel and recycle the bottle once it is empty. Little changes do go a long way. And for what you can not avoid, try not to use as much or search the Internet for different alternatives. Good luck!

Answer 5

While you may not be able to change what you use at work, you can change what you use at home. Look for earth-friendly products to replace what you use for makeup, personal care, home cleaning, laundry, etc. It'll be healthier for you, too!
