Essential Oils-The Non-Toxic Alternative 

Of all the products in the home, clean-smelling air fresheners seem to pose little health risk. In fact, about 75% of households use them. But the fresh scent of air fresheners may mask a health threat-chemicals called phthalates (pronounced thal-ates) that can cause hormonal abnormalities, birth defects, and reproductive problems.


The Natural Resource Defense Council recently performed an independent test of common air fresheners. They  discovered phthalates in 86 percent (12 of 14) of air freshener products tested, including those marketed as "all-natural" or "unscented"-and none of the products we tested listed phthalates on their labels.
 

Using essential oils to scent your home is a great way to avoid unnecessary toxins in your home.  Bright Sun Candles are only scented with high quality plant essences, providing you and your family a safe and great smelling way to freshen your home.
 

Green Home Living Tip
 

 

Little things we do can make a big impact on the environment.
 


REVOLVING DOORS


 
Researchers at MIT estimated that if people always used revolving doors at just one campus building, the warm or cool indoor air saved would prevent the release of 14.6 tons of carbon dioxide per year. This is the equivalent of heating five single family homes for one year!
