Everyone deserves to live in a healthy and safe environment. That environment includes where you live, work, play, and pray. We reject and actively push back against racist rhetoric, actions, policies and institutional oppression that leads to state-sanctioned brutality, gun violence, and harm that again and again assaults communities, particularly communities of color. We are committed to working for justice and equity, and are in solidarity with social, racial, and environmental justice organizations to build community, understanding and honest dialogue to address the root causes of violence, harm and hate.

Tips & Resources

Thanks to True Goods’ Health & Impact Profile (HIP) for these resouces:

  • Cookware: Avoid exposure to cancer-causing PFOA from Teflon and other non-stick surfaces by phasing them out of your home and purchasing stainless steel or cast iron. When choosing a ceramic cookware or bakeware item, be sure the glaze is lead-free.
  • Furniture: Finding safe furniture can be tough! Consider natural options, like wicker and wood, that also don’t contain flame retardants. Some finishes and manufactured wood alternatives off-gas VOCs so stay away from particleboard, fiberboard, and certain types of plywood, which also contain higher levels of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen.
  • Scenting: Research has shown some scented candles produce smoke laced with almost as many toxins as those produced by cigarettes! To avoid dangerous fumes and soot, use soy or beeswax candles with pure essential oils and non-cored fabric wicks (and keep them trimmed short).
