Thank you to Jamie Barnes for all of the video-graphing editing, creating and sharing of this awesome summary of our journey.
Oceans & Household Cleaners
Over the last two weekends, I've gone through my kitchen and bathroom cabinets and took out anything considered a household cleaner. I then spent much time on the web trying to find out what's good and what's bad.

This website: http://www.ewg.org/consumer-guides rates household cleaning products A-F. I've written the rating on each product. See attached photos.
Next, I contemplated how to get rid of the products I no longer desire to use, but ended up giving them to my mom. I felt bad about that, but they were already in circulation and I feel good about the impact I'll be making on the environment in the future.
This was a difficult task. All of my products were either C's, D's or F's. I learned the most natural and safe products we could use are baking soda, baking soda wash, lemon juice, salt, white vinegar, tea tree oil and castile soap, in spray water bottles and glass jars.
Helpful websites I found are below:
