Synopsis

Keeping house in the 21st century means living in a healthier home - one that's free of toxins and synthetic chemicals - and creating a living space that brings rest, renewal, and harmony to our lives. It can start with the simplest changes - using a natural cleanser instead of a chemical one, cocooning in organic bedding instead of polyester sheets with a no-wrinkle finish, and choosing wall paint with low volatile organic compounds instead of an oil-based paint. This informative, practical, and inspirational guide - now available in paperback - from one of the most trusted names in the health and environmental awareness field shows how to detoxify our homes one product at a time and establish practices that will have a profound impact on our well-being and quality of life.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

“Home Enlightenment has the power to change the way we live and breathe. You will feel healed--and whole--just by reading this book: It's a beautiful thing. Annie B. Bond, mistress of the green household and expert on chemical poisoning, gives us remedies for the toxins that ail us. She spells out the ingredients for the good life and the illuminating benefits of sun and candlelight, and she identifies the quiet needs of the everyday. Stockpile copies of Home Enlightenment and give them to everyone you care about.” —Amy Goldman, advocate for agricultural biodiversity and author of three books on heirloom vegetables: The Compleat Squash, Melons for the Passionate Grower, and The Heirloom Tomato

“Change is all about knowing what to change. We as a culture have much to change, and it's always a question how we should make those changes. In a style ‘only Annie,' Annie opens the door to your home, reveals the invisible, and helps you weave necessary change into everyday life. I have followed Annie's sound advice for years.” —Jeffrey Hollender, president of Seventh Generation, Inc.

“Leave it to Annie B. Bond to create the ultimate healthy-home, living-well guide with all the right ingredients--soothing solutions, sensuality, and a whole lot of good sense.” —Wendy Gordon, founder of the National Geographic Society's Green Guide
