Editorial Review: Product Description: Imagine if your best friend gave you vital information that could protect you and your family, and save you money, and help the planet. Imagine if you were given clear, simple choices, small changes that could have a big impact on your life. And you could still wear leather shoes and deodorant. You'd listen, right? Well, think of Today show contributor Sloan Barnett as that friend. A mother of three, a dedicated consumer advocate, Sloan gives us a fast, simple, down-toearth primer on the ways our homes are making us sick, and what we can all do to transform them into the safe sanctuaries we want and need them to be. Sloan exposes the toxic truth behind the household products we use every day -- from laundry detergent to toothpaste to lipstick. She explains how these and other seemingly benign stuff can harm us and our children. She offers an array of alternatives, and inspires us to see that we're never helpless: Every day, we have the power to make better, smarter, safer choices. Packed with common sense and sass, product picks and practical tips, Green Goes With Everything is for everyone who wants to live a healthier life. Average Rating:

Read More Rating: - Excellent informationI thought this was an outstanding book. It gives good information on how to go green, giving product references as well. How often do we read books but are left on our own to figure out which products are okay? Having used Shaklee cleaners off and on for 30 years, I understand why she recommends them so highly.
