You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

We are actually seeing less people die of cancer and this is a testament to our developments in our healthcare system such as the innovations of immunotherapy and our strong chemotherapy drugs. However, the incidences of cancer is increasing year over year. We're more so now than ever before in human history exposed to toxins on a regular basis. We have toxins from the chemicals in our food, toxins from the personal products that we use, toxins from the use of plastics, and toxins from the environment that we're constantly barraged with. Even the soil that where the crops grow are devoid of the nutrients and minerals it used to provide us. Now it's full of fertilizer and pesticides. This constant exposure of chemicals combined with the abundance of processed food in our diet and the increased prevalence of obesity in our society is my belief that we are seeing more cases of cancer every year. This will unfortunately continue until we break this cycle.

Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course recommending books that meet the moment.
