EWG lists 9 simple things you can do to take care of your health and your family, while also taking care of the environment. Tips include:
* Avoid stain and grease proofing chemicals like Teflon and Scotchgard
* Use sunscreen whenever you go outside
* Reduce your intake of meat and high milks and cheeses
