A collection of resources: living wage....Fair Trade.... organic food and agriculture issues.... pesticides and herbicides on our lawns....chemicals in our home products, furnishings and building materials, in cosmetics and body care products.... and how all these things impact the baby in the womb, the toddler on the floor and on the lawn, and we adults as well.
Please Note:

THIS SITE IS UNDERGOING A REDESIGN. PLEASE EXCUSE THE MESSES AND DISORGANIZATION.

Note to Readers

I've only a bare beginning here. There are thousands of links and tidbits in my files waiting to be added. And new things learned every day. The information here, while researched as well as I can, is always subject to correction, to my own personal opinions, and to your critical thinking. I do my best to quote only reliable sources - please let me know if you come across a source you are convinced is illegitimate.

This site was initially made with the intention of being used only for myself. While I'm happy to share it, it may never really be polished enough for public consumption.

ABOUT THE LINKS - For now, if you wish the links to "open in a new window" you'll need to use your Right Click function to do so.
