“Housework? It can’t kill you, but why take the risk?” goes the fridge magnet/meme/Birthday card for your sister.
But within that little lol, is a grain of truth. Research just published in the American Thoracic Society’s Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine has found that using chemical-laden cleaning products every day has a detrimental effect on lung health. If you use cleaning sprays regularly, then the impact can be the equivalent of smoking a full pack of cigarettes

Single use plastics take five minutes to produce, five minutes to use and 500 years to break down, the vice-president of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans, told reporters recently.
In a move that highlights just how catastrophic the risk of choking the planet in plastic really is, the EU has announced a plan to ensure that by 2030, all packaging on the continent must be reusable or recyclable.
The move

Back in November last year we talked about America Recycles Day, a great cause supported by Keep America Beautiful.
Now, it’s easy to think about the bottled water industry being right at the other end of any “Earth-friendly” scale, but some recent news is heartening and perhaps surprising.
On January 17, at the 2018 Keep America Beautiful National Conference, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) announced that it

It hasn’t been a great couple of months to be in the soda industry. On 20th April this year a report was published by the America Stroke Association that appeared to draw a link between the consumption of artificially sweetened “diet” soda and the risk of suffering a stroke or dementia. A further report from Beverage Marketing Corps pointed to the fact that Americans now officially drink more bottled water than soda.

Fresh, clean laundry makes me happy. Gathering it from the line outside, or pulling it from the dryer feels great. I’ll happily outsource most household chores given half the chance, but the laundry I keep for myself.
Wash Day Blues?
So given this love affair with clean laundry, I was pretty horrified to realize that so many of the products we use to make our clothes and bedding feel wonderful are actually really, really bad …

We hope you’re loving our 10-part series on how a water ionizer compares to other means of getting your drinking water. So far, we’ve looked at a few types of machine and equipment, and today we’re examining how water ionizers stack up against the ubiquitous bottled water.
Have You Got the Bottle?
Bottled water is undeniably convenient. Widely available to the point of saturation, to use a suitably watery metaphor; most of us are probably only a …

On the 2nd August, Bloomberg.com published a report stating that bottled water is poised to outstrip soda sales, a new phenomenon which industry experts believe owes as much to the highly publicized water crisis which began (publicly at any rate) in Flint, MI., as it does to any real sea change in our health habits.
Just How Bad is Soda?
Even fans of soda know that there’s little to recommend …

It’s not just us that need hydrating a little more now that spring is drawing to end and summer will shortly be tuning up. If you’re a gardener, then you probably have some seedlings demanding your attention, as their rootballs get bigger and those new shoots start looking like “real” plants. Did you know that as well as delivering all of the health benefits that you’d expect, alkaline water can also help out in the garden?

Who doesn’t love the spring? It’s hard not to get all clichéd about it, but the buds on the trees, the little green shoots pushing through winter-hardened soil and lambs (aw! Lambs!) tottering around next to their mothers; it’s all pretty wonderful. New life, fresh starts and all that.
And of course, if you’re a gardener, then it is, quite frankly, the most exciting time of the whole year! Finally, you can start sowing those …
