Household Tips – EWG.org

Green USDA Organic emblem

Start this weekend off right with an educational (read: frightening) visit to the Environmental Working Group website, where you can explore such gems of information like cell phone radiation factsthe cosmetic safety database, and a shopper’s guide to pesticides in produce. Frankly, the chemicals and toxins companies sneak in the things we use everyday (lipstick! iPhones! lettuce!) is terrifying. Some good food-shopping advice I got once: Avoid edibles that come with barcodes. And if you don’t want to feed your human family pesticides, why not stick to organic for your pet’s diet as well? My dog Wes loves his organic kibble, and Halo (by Ellen Degeneres!) is an organic pet food line that will keep your dog’s tummy happy and healthy.
