Centenarian Strategies

Posted Sep 11 2008 8:00pm

Perfect place settings and flawless floral arrangements aren't really my bag, so I've got to thank healthy-home guru Debra Lynn Dadd for pointing out this heartening tidbit in her newsletter:

Apparently, the September issue of Martha Stewart Living included an article on "Living to 100" that discussed the importance of environmental health. In it, the author, Dr. Brent Ridge, noted that "Anything we bring into our homes or put onto our bodies can affect our health. I use natural or green products whenever I can--detergents, cleansers, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. If a bathtub cleanser is labeled 'nontoxic,' for example, that means it's safe for kids and safer for me and the environment." Ridge even got in a plug for composite lumber made from recycled materials, saying that it "looks beautiful and works well."

Eco-conscious ideas being promoted to 2 million mainstream readers? Now that's a good thing.
