Feeling overwhelmed? What it it were as simple as being aware and choosing differently? Here's how.

• Be aware of the potentially harmful ingredients commonly used in soaps, shampoos, moisturizers and other personal care products, including in those labeled ‘gentle for baby’, 'all natural' and 'organic'
  
• Take a list of these ingredients with you when you go shopping to make sure you don’t buy products containing them
  
• Identify companies committed to using only safer, effective ingredients, and use only their products, and
  
• Invite your local shops to add more chemical free food and non-toxic personal care products to their shelves. In some countries you'll need to take a magnifying glass with you to read the labels!

Would that be easy? Give it a go. See what a difference YOU can make.
