I really like the idea of activism and getting companies and the government to do the right thing. I would like to write letters and join a larger movement but with a family I find it hard to make time. I wish there was an organization I could join that would give me more directed advice on what needs to be done. If anyone knows of some place like this, please let me know. I give money to environmental advocacy groups and sign online petitions but am not sure how to go further without it becoming overwhelming.
@BethTerry @Elisa L Thanks for writing back. I have to say I loved your book. We think it is a manual to live by. We made so many changes after reading all the great info you provided. I have loaned it to friends and recommended it to family members. Thank you so much for writing a book with such important information.
I really liked Lush shampoo bars at first but have changed my mind. Some of the bars have a lot of dyes in them and SLS and the fragrances do not say phalate free. Also I looked at some of their cosmetics and they contain parabens. I tried their solid conditioner too and that leaves a residue in my hair. Overall I think there are better choices like Liggetts.
