I am thankful for the things I leaned in this book when it comes to choosing non-toxic materials for our home. I was shocked to find out how toxic carpet glue fumes can be and I am thankful to have been taught as we just bought a new build and you can smell the fumes in the house. I was aware of most of the things that I read though. I think that it would be a good book for someone who doesn’t know where to start but wants to embrace a natural style.
