62 Toxic Chemicals Under Your Sink?
At least 62…and when we count them from 50 years ago there are over 70,000 unnecessary chemicals in our homes.
How many do we need to be “clean”? NONE, ZERO, ZIP.
Sad, isn’t it? Think about what our great-grandparents used…vinegar and water…soap and water…that’s about it and now in 2009 what do we use? Thousands of chemicals and we couldn’t be sicker!
Health care, toxic cleaners….anyone get it and want to help me??? Write to Michelle Obama on our behalf as she discusses healthcare and women….It’s time to rock the boat and I don’t care if my name is MUD. I am Audra Conklin, Founder and Owner of Modern Mermaids Eco-Friendly Products and I am sick and tired of people being sick and tired from the chemicals that they are unknowingly being exposed to. I have spent two years living in financial limbo (and will continue to do so) to see the light go on in an “average” American woman’s eyes when I teach her that her chemical “air freshener” is perhaps making her child have allergies, asthma or ADD.
I am someone who will write to Ellen, Oprah, Dr. Oz, The Shark Tank and Michelle Obama because, dammit, if any one of them would take the time to hear what I can offer this country for education, it would be amazing…NO ONE would use a conventional toxic cleaners and the health of our country could change dramatically.
Our lungs (and therefore heart and bloodstream), water (ecological balance), children (asthma and allergies), pets (the new pet ONCOLOGY (NEVER EXISTED BEFORE) as our beloved animals die from our chemicals). I can go on and will. And why? Unlike the companies in the major markets who have sold out lately, (and they know who they are) I think of my best friend and business partner and her loss to cancer …her mother at 4 years old and her father when we were 32 years old…can you think of any better reason to promote the anti-cancer issue? Both died of cancer and I have to talk about part of this. Amy’s father and Senator Ted Kennedy died of the exact same brain cancer. Amy’s house where she grew up is less than a mile from the Kennedy Compound and the Senator was also a friend of Barney’s and visited him in the hospital. It’s incomprehensible that he died of the same brain cancer that Mr. Baxter had. Something bad on the Cape?
Obviously I’m looking for a book deal ….are you kidding?! just running Modern Mermaids is more than I can handle most days…I’ll do the book thing when I’m 60. Right now I want people to recognize Bertha and Eartha, our eco-mermaids, and Amy and me, the owners who do this with sincerity and care for our fellow humans, animals and earth.
Peace..
Audra, Amy, Bertha and Eartha
*You, the reader, are probably a convert already and “get” me ….your job now is to send this to everyone who doesn’t. Feel free to give them my name, email address, number and anything else they need to contact me so I can get information out and help our country get healthier.
I did four demos in the last three days and I thank all of you who I spent time training or educating.
