Greener Home

With the holiday season around the corner, it’s time once again to pull out our winter jackets and wool blankets to keep us warm, and our best dresses and suits to look top-notch at holiday parties.

In addition to the holidays, some of these items often have something else in common: that dreaded “Dry Clean Only” label.  

We all want to make safe shopping choices for our families. But whether it’s your child’s favourite scented bubble bath or lip balm, too often product labels don’t really tell you what’s inside. That’s why we need better labelling rules that help parents spot and avoid toxic ingredients.

As the cold weather approaches, parents do what they can to make sure the flu bugs don’t come home from school with their kids.  Antibacterial hand sanitizers have become a go-to solution for many parents, but some may be doing more harm than good.
