Buy safer products
Of course the best way to protect yourself, your home and family, and the environment is to think twice before buying any hazardous products and introducing them into your home. If a label says ‘DANGER’ or ‘POISON,’ that means high-level hazards, while ‘WARNING’ and ‘CAUTION’ tend to mean lower levels of hazard. Avoid hazardous materials altogether by finding products with Green Seal, EPEAT, MPI green performance, or EPA stickers.
