Living in a Toxic Home
- 75,000 new chemicals have been introduced in the last 50 years.
- An average home generates 25 pounds of toxic, hazardous waste each year, most of which comes from household cleaning products.
- EPA studies indicate that elevated concentration of household chemicals persists in the air. Some are suspected of causing or are known to case cancer in humans.

Did you know about some of the dangers of bleach fumes:
* Chlorine is the chemical most frequently involved in household
poisonings and is a potent pollutant. Chlorine fumes from household cleaners are toxic and can affect the central nervous system.
* Ammonia fumes from household cleaners are toxic and can irritate skin,
eyes, throat, and respiratory system.
* Fumes and gases from chemicals in household cleaners, kitchen cleaners, laundry cleaners and fabric softeners are often toxic, and can be a cause of skin irritations, asthma, allergies, and respiratory problems. Some fumes and gases you can smell, but many are invisible to the human senses and you don't even know they are present in the air that you and your family are breathing. These invisible toxins are often referred to as the "silent killers".
* According to a 15-year study presented at the Toronto Indoor Air
Conference, women who work at home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than those who work away from home. The study concluded that this was a direct result of the increased exposure to toxic chemicals, many of which are found in common household products.
Why would anyone knowingly submit themselves to toxic fumes and gases in their home, caused by their cleaning products, if they knew they didn't have to?
What if you knew there were products which have been clinically proven to work as effective or better then your commercial industrial and home cleaners and are totally safe to you, your family, your pets, and our environment? Would it be time to switch brands?
It's time to Get Green and Stay Clean!

Earthly Green: Beyond Organic
We, here at Earthly Green, an independent distributor of Shaklee, would like to take the time to share with you a line of natural cleaning products, which are biodegradable and non-toxic to you and our Earth’s environment (our 64oz is Green Seal Certified). These products are not only safe for you, your family, and our planet. Furthermore, these cleaning products offer concentrated power that is cost-efficient. Our Get Green household cleaning products offer concentrated, nontoxic, biodegradable cleaning that use less packaging and less product than other conventional cleaners. These products eschew toxic substances like chlorine, ammonia, phosphates and formaldehyde, Get Green is instead powered by natural enzymes and sustainable-derived ingredients, and are never tested on animals. This line of cleaning products, by Shaklee, is not only cost-efficient but has been clinical proven to be as effective, if not better, then most commercial brand-name cleaning products. In the long run, these products not only save money, they also help avoid the toxicity found in common household products and contribute to leaving a small “footprint” on the Earth.
About Shaklee: Shaklee Corporation was the FIRST Company to be certified “Climate Neutral” by offsetting its carbon emissions. Inspired by the visionary works of 2004 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai and her Green Belt Movement, Shaklee began a tree-planting campaign across the United States and Canada in April 2006, encouraging the company's 700,000 Distributors to organize tree-planting events at the grass roots level in their respective communities.
Why Go Green?: When you use Get Green, -- you're never simply cleaning. While you make your customer’s home cleaner, you make their family healthier. You also make the planet healthier for other families as well. Smart for Your Wallet: The Get Green Starter Kit replaces 830 bottles or boxes of conventional ready-to-use cleaning products you use in your house, kitchen, and laundry. You’d have to shell out more then $3400 (as in three thousand, four-hundred buckaroos) at the grocery store to get the same amount of cleaning you get in our Get Green Starter Kit - $3400 of equivalent cleaning power. The product instructions recommends using just 1-2 drops of their Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate per 16 oz. of water to clean windows and mirrors, or just a 1/4 teaspoon per 16 oz. for general cleaning duties, so a little goes a long way
Smart for You: Includes all the products and cleaning tools you need to start cleaning your way to a healthier home, business, school, and Earth. Smart for the Planet: When you purchase the Get Green Starter Kit instead of ready-to-use products, you're helping reduce over 100 pounds of packaging waste from landfills and eliminating 248 pounds of greenhouse gases – this is the environmental equivalent of planting 10 trees.
