We have hit the wall.

It is now clear the environment — indoors and out — has limits, and these are lower than once thought.

We also know the words … “Dilution is the solution to pollution” and “The dose makes the poison” … are partly falsehoods.

We now grasp that even small amounts of some chemicals can wreak havoc on life, human and otherwise. These are often called endocrine disruptors as they may affect human and animal hormones even in parts per trillion.

So, what’s the answer? System change is the total answer. In the meantime, reducing chemicals that we use to “clean” (or even eliminating some of them) makes sense.

We welcome input on this post.
