REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Audit Toxic Cleaning Products in my HomeTo what extent do you believe that environmental factors contribute to your own health or issues with health?
Cathy Brett 10/16/2018 1:29 PMI just recently moved and realized how many toxic products I had way back in the cupboard. I have shifted over the years to more clean and homemade products but realized I still had quite a few things I just pushed to the back. Luckily Fort Collins has a great recycling center you can take things like cleaning product to so they are disposed of properly.
