REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Audit Toxic Cleaning Products in my Home

To what extent do environmental factors contribute to your own health or issues with health?

Nancy Hoban 10/28/2020 7:33 AM

Environmental factors such as using more disinfectant wipes and/or sprays to clean surfaces are a double edged sword. We need them to get rid of nasty germs, but I learned the wipes are hard on the environment since they don't break down very easily.
