Although you may think your house is clean and safe, according to Diane MacEachern, author of The Big Green Purse, toxins are everywhere. From the plastic we store our food in to the very products we use to make things cleaner, the chemicals in everyday household items may be making us sick. So, Diane says we have a responsibility to our family, our budget, and to the environment to be choosy when it comes to our spending power. If we can shift $1,000 of our family’s yearly household budget to greener products, it will send a strong message to manufacturers that consumers care about their health, safety and planet.
