CAN YOU CONNECT THE DOTS ON CLEANING PRODUCTS





 CAN YOU CONNECT THE DOTS ON CLEANING PRODUCTS 
 Researchers discovered that  one of the reasons that stay-at home fathers and mothers suffered from a higher cancer rate was due to the great variety of very corrosive and toxic cleaning products that they were using inside the house on a daily basis.

Many common household cleaning agents contain formaldehyde.


  • Formaldehyde irritates the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and throat. 
  • It is also a highly reactive chemical which combines with protein and can cause allergic contact dermatitis. 
  • The most widely reported symptoms from exposure to high levels of this chemical include irritation of the eyes and headaches. 
  • Until recently, the most serious of the diseases attributed to formaldehyde exposure was asthma.
  • However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently conducted research, which has caused formaldehyde to be strongly suspected of causing a rare type of throat cancer in long-term occupants of mobile homes.


 I do not buy any cleaning products,but make my own.
All you need to keep your house sparkling clean and fresh smelling are- 
  •  vinegar (double strength  from Home Hardware)
  •  baking soda
  •  Borax
  • lemon juice

  What do you think? Can birds help combat the catastrophic impacts of  climate chaos ? YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES! Birds do an incredible job of  helping to create new forests by eating tons of tree seeds.  As they fly all over the forests the tree seeds in their poop is dropped on the forest  floor.  And, the poop helps to fertilize the tree seeds as they sprout into saplings. 92% of woody plants are grown from the seeds dropped by birds in their poop !  182 species are edible. 85 species are used for timber.  153 species are medicinal  plants. 156 species are ornamental.  A new study   published  in Forest Ecosystems   (20220 concluded large fruit-eating animals, including birds like toucans significantly help regenerate forests which are  giant traps for carbon, collectively, absorbing  as much as 30 percent of the world’s CO2 emissions , and store more than 1,600 gigatonnes of car...

DON'T TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN

 DON'T  TREAT MOTHER EARTH LIKE A GIGANTIC GARBAGE BIN On Sunday, October 15, the Barrie Garden Club ventured out on a dark, dreary, and drizzly day to pick up litter, along Highway 26 close to Wilson Avenue. As I was picking up all kinds of litter such as license plates, chairs, discarded clothing, plastic bags, lots  of cigarette butts, and a myriad of discarded coffee containers, I began to reflect on all the problems triggered by litter. Here in Canada, we are very lucky to have an organized system where most municipalities and cities  make sure that there are regular pick-ups for your garbage, compost, and recyclables. So it boggles my mind why so many Canadians do not use the readily provided containers, but instead  treat Mother Earth like a gigantic garbage bin. I simply cannot understand when someone buys a cup of coffee, they then go for a long hike, they  manage to carry the cup full of coffee, but the minute it’s empty, they simply cannot manage...
