When the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has told us that

 the air inside our homes is more dangerous than the air outside our homes - we listen.

Did you know that the FDA doesn't mandate that companies disclose the full ingredients on household care products? This is why this playground contains hundreds of brands that are pumping harmful, very common ingredients into what we're buying ... 

such as:

chlorine bleach

ammonia

coal tar dye

formaldehyde

triclosan

fragrance

phosphates etc.

Click here to understand what the Environmental Working Group (EWG) thinks about the chemicals that brands are pumping into the products they're selling you.

They even give the most common products (which Canadians spend approx $275 million on a year) a rating to help you understand what the ingredients in the products you may be buying are linked with when it comes to health concerns
