It has been
demonstrated time and time again that we must be diligent in curbing the
frequent use of non-eco friendly materials used in our homes. Homes that
contain toxic materials have been affecting families and making them sick for
decades - affecting their quality of life in the place that they should consider
a haven. Some of the more common
ailments people are experiencing that can be tied to living in a home with
toxic building materials are debilitating headaches, increased allergic
reactions, an irritation in the throat, eyes, and nose, rashes all over the
body, experiencing consistent colds as well as the flu, and feeling incredibly
lethargic and tired.
Materials
that have been shown to have detrimental side effects on people's health that
are commonly found in homes today include lead paint, formaldehyde, boilers,
radiators, and flame retardants. With
increased and far reaching education about the dangers of toxic homes and the
availability of eco-friendly materials, there have been significant efforts in
creating community and home environments without the use of such non-eco
friendly materials. This is necessary action to take against a problematic
issue that is so prevalent and causing a slew of sicknesses.
We urge you
to support those businesses and community organizations who develop and promote
the use of eco-friendly materials and innovations which can be used instead of
their "poisonous" counterparts. As you read through this site and click to
link to sites who we’ve featured, we hope you will not only find inspiration in
“going green” but the information you need to incorporate green material use
into your homes in new ways.
