Most of my waking thoughts are consumed with how much I want a dog. Unfortunately life dictates that I cannot have one at the moment. While I can’t have a furry friend watching over me, I can take comfort in the fact that I do have eco-watchdog Environmental Working Group looking out for me in the meantime.
EWG offers up-to-the-minute news on environmental technologies and updates, as well as how-tos and everything else you might need. Personally I’ve become an avid fan of their cosmetics database- a comprehensive database for men and women detailing the toxicity of the ingredients in products and the reliability of certain brands.
I for example, just bought an all-organic spf moisturizer from an organic store thinking that I was safe, that the store had done the work for me. Then I checked EWG a few days later and lo and behold- the ingredient most often used to create SPF is actually toxic. So… there go the benefits of my ‘natural’ moisturizer. Next time I’ll check EWG *before* I go shopping.
