Protect your health, reduce waste, and be a better steward of the Earth by making the switch to natural cleaning products with these 43 easy recipes! A clean house should not come at the expense of your health. Common household cleaners are not kid-friendly or pet-friendly—or lung-friendly, or skin-friendly. Store-bought cleaners that contain bleach and ammonia, drain cleaners, toilet cleaners, and more are the cause of thousands of household emergencies each year. These harsh cleaners and artificial fragrances can irritate your eyes and lungs, and exacerbate allergies and asthma. Not to mention how all these chemicals and packaging materials are affecting the environment. Bottom line, your home—and the planet—are simply safer without them. Most people think natural cleaners either: • don’t work • are difficult / annoying to make • involve a lot of exotic, expensive ingredients that are too hard to find • all of the above! The truth is, you can clean every room in your house—curtains, carpet, toilet, tile grout, whatever—without ever touching another bottle of Clorox. In this book, you’ll learn why these cleaners work, how to stock your home with a few basic ingredients you can grab as needed—and why you shouldn’t use some of the DIY cleaning recipes you see online.   You’ll also learn: • How to safely and naturally clean every surface in your home, from stainless steel appliances to moldy showers • Which natural cleaning ingredients should never be mixed (and why) • How to customize your cleaners with essential oils • Why you should use distilled water instead of tap water • There’s even a recipe for cleaning dog toys! Make the switch to non-toxic DIY cleaning solutions now! |

Explore ideas, consider the big questions and learn life lessons in your garden .   Gardening is an innately thoughtful as well as practical pastime : planning ahead, imagining how plants will grow, deciding what will make a 'good' garden, wondering at the beauty of flowers and noticing how ecosystems work. This delightful and engaging collection of essays illustrate how many philosophical ideas arise naturally in gardeners’ everyday work . Growers by their nature are in fact already philosophers:   existentialists who try to live and work by their own rules in a garden;  stoics who put up with slug damage again and again, and try to work in harmony with nature; and practical quantum scientists who witness incredible processes going on in plant cells beneath the ground. In Philosophy for Gardeners , Kate Collyns uses aspects of gardening to introduce and explore a range of philosophical ideas and schools of thought; cultivating a greater understanding and appreciation of intriguing concepts , propagated from science, evolution and aesthetics through to politics, economics and ethics. Broken into four sections, Soil, Growth, Harvest  and Cycles , each section explores questions of philosophy through the lens of the garden. A fascinating read , this book is as perfect for students of philosophy as it is for gardeners, filled with thought-provoking reflections on life, being and existence. |
