62. The Toxic Chemical Rebellion with Kirsten Pelchat

Hey Green Junkie,

I’m sure you’ve heard a bunch of talk about toxins in cleaning products, makeup, beauty products, etc. 

There are no shortages of alternatives to some of our favorite products but how do we know if those are safe? How are supposed to be able to trust “green” products when so many regulations allow companies to mask toxic ingredients?

I turned to the expert and leader of the Toxic Chemical Rebellion, who didn’t just coin that cheeky term but also built a company that teaches us about toxic-free products and offers safe and trusted alternatives for our homes.

In this episode I will touch on the following:

• What is the toxic chemical rebellion
• How toxic products are actually a social justice issue
• The difference between the EU and Canada/United States when it comes to environmental safety
• The ins and outs of PVA
• Are laundry strips still a good alternative
• Important ingredients to avoid

Your green bestie,
