Eco-Friendly Fashion & Cosmetics Facts:

  • Only 12 percent of seven million tons of clothing and other textiles thrown away each year is recycled.
  • Four out of five Americans prefer all-natural skin care products.
  • Chamomile hydrates dry skin and soothes irritated capillaries.
  • Pennywort is used to rejuvenate skin, enhance circulation and fight varicose veins.

Tips: You and your home will be healthier if you get rid of the chemical-laden cleaners you don’t need.

  • On average, every home has 63 hazardous products.
  • (For a non-toxic all-purpose cleaner) mix up 2 cups of warm water, ¼ cup baking soda and ¼ cup of ammonia.
  • A non-toxic treatment magnetically removes tarnish. For a non-toxic silver polish, line your sink with aluminum foil, add a heavy layer of salt and very hot water. Touch the silver to the foil/salt mixture and tarnish disappears.)
