Firmly Green

In a recent article from the New York Times, they explain the decreased demand for green cleaning products as a result of the recession. There is no doubt that the cost for green cleaning products can be slightly more expensive than regular cleaning products, but I wonder why so many are willing to take the risk of intoxicating their home for the desire to save at most 50 cents per bottle of cleaning chemicals.

I hope that the cost of the product isn’t the reason that so many are making this decision. With the growing research that shows the toxicity of cleaning chemical I would never put a toxic cleaning chemical in my house. I believe that my families health is much more important than saving a few dollars. I also hope that many will take a deeper look at the overall cost of not going with green products for your house.
