Many personal care product ingredients have not been evaluated for safety by the FDA. Try shopping for all-natural brands or see if your brand is a part of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.
Resist the Lure of Upgrades
Cell phone companies are forever encouraging us to switch to the newest, most trendy phone, sometimes long before the existing one is defunct. However, cell phones contain a cocktail of toxic substances that shouldn't be discarded in landfills. Recycling keeps these undesirable elements out of the waste stream and saves the mining and manufacturing impacts of producing new cell phones. Consider donating your old phone to charity for recycling when you do need a new one.
