Q: Why buy environmentally friendly products?
A: Buying environmentally friendly products  1.) is good for you and your family because you are no longer putting harmful plastics (which gas off toxic phthalates) or chemicals in your home, and, you can feel good about doing a small thing to make the world healthier  2.) is good for the community because the environment is not being degraded to make the product or dispose of the product, and, you are more likely to be supporting the local economy.

Q: Why do you have links about water on your BED-A-BRUSH™ web site.
A: It is said that water is life.  Good water is certainly essential to health.  More and more, water is becoming a commodity and a scarce commodity at that - in other words, there are critical water shortages in much of the world, including the USA, and corporations are attempting to own and sell water, rather than it being a birthright.  Moreover, most, if not all, of our municipal water is contaminated by industrial pollutants and drugs.  Further, many municipalities add fluoride to the water for the misguided reason of improving dental health (see the Fluoride Action Network web site for more information about this.)   

Q: What is the Fluoride Action Network?
A: The Fluoride Action Network is an international coalition seeking to broaden public awareness about the toxicity of fluoride compounds and the health impacts of current fluoride exposures.

Q: Why do we have links about nutrition on our web site?
A: Good dental health starts with good nutrition.  With most Americans eating food that is produced in food product factories rather than local farms and from scratch in our own kitchens, the general level of nutrition is appallingly poor even in people who consider themselves to have a "good" standard of living.  Food factories, huge agribusinesses that produce everything from corn, to beef, to crackers generally have totally unsustainable farming and manufacturing practices resulting in soil depletion and loss, pollution of the waterways and soil, toxic chemicals, hormones and bacteria in the meats and foods, a low level of actual nutrition in the food, and bad health for the workers who are exposed to the toxins and dangers of working in these facilities.
