Part 1
Greening Your Home
- 1. Switch out traditional cleaning products for non-toxic ones.
- Visit ImusRanchFoods.com for our line of Greening the Cleaning® household products, and healthy organic snacks.
- Weed killer, ant and roach killers, and other pesticides for the home typically contain ingredients that are hazardous to children, pets and the environment. Use integrated pest management (IPM) to minimize and when possible eliminate the use of pesticides inside and outside the home, including the lawn. For more, see pesticides and green pesticide resources.
- Install shower and faucet water filters to protect your family from microorganisms, chlorine and other illness-causing agents in water. For more information, see: water purification.
- When renovating or adding onto your home, use green building practices when possible. For more, see Green Building Resources.
- If your home was built before 1978, use EPA guidelines to protect your family from lead-based paint. For more tips, see: architectural paints.
