The Soul of Sustainability By Holli Smith When I was a child I ate junk food, smoked cigarettes, littered, and did pretty much everything we are told not to do if we care about our health or the environment. I thought my body, the air, and our Earth wouldn’t be affected. I thought that no matter what I did, And then I became a mom. The whole ‘I didn’t care about anything until I had someone to care about’ phenomenon that so many parents experience, hit me full force. When my very young daughter started experiencing rashes, digestive issues, and other minor health concerns, I sought help but found little. I was told that she had allergies and would most likely outgrow them, that it was nothing serious.

Many parents I know have been told the same thing, no testing, no concern, just wait and see. We weren’t even sure what the allergies were from, as there seemed to be no so I keep looking for answers. We saw a naturopath and discovered that both of us suffered from chemical allergies. Chemicals in food, chemicals in cleaner and body care products. Anywhere that chemicals were lurking, there was a potential danger.
