Why You Should Do This
When applying pesticides the wind can carry these harmful chemicals as far as 14.5 miles allowing them to settle in your pool, on your lawn furniture, or on your children’s toys. Upon settling these pesticides can then be easily tracked inside your home by both people, and pets. Once inside your home these chemicals can be absorbed through your skin, or inhaled leading to such adverse effects as birth defects in children, allergies, and even a decreased sperm count.
The Problem
Slugs pose a major threat to any garden, not only do they deplete your soil of vital nutrients but they also consume plant material which can lead to the death of a plant. Removing of the slugs by hand is both tedious and at times ineffective. With no other alternatives to turn to many gardeners use pesticides to rid their garden of slugs.

If you live in a big city the air you breathe while outside maybe as detrimental to your health as trying to land a handstand on a Sustainable Skateboard. What you didn’t know is that the air you breathe while inside your own home maybe even worse, 10 times as worse! That’s because microbial pollutants like mold, pet dander, and plant pollen can combine with chemicals like radon to create something even nastier then that pile of dog poop in your backyard. These toxic particles floating around by things like your toothbrush can lead to allergies, asthma, and even AIDS! OK so not AIDS, but still some pretty nasty stuff. That’s why we put together a simple list of 3 things you can do to green your home.
- Open a Window. Sure an airtight home is essential for energy efficiency, but airtight homes also lead to poor air quality that can be 10 times more polluted then the air outdoors. Opening a window in your home not only will cut down on your energy use during the summer months, but also wile also cleanse your home of dirt, and mildew buildup.
- Use eco-friendly home cleaning products. Unlike their toxic counterparts these products will not fill the air in your home with dangerous chemicals, and best of all you can make them yourself.
- Install low-flow faucets. These faucets have been know to reduce water usage by as much as 40%. If you don’t have the cash to install these faucets just make a conscious effort to use as little water as possible when doing things like brushing your teeth or washing your hands.
