I have been writing about how the choices we make at home affect our health and the environment since 1982. When I started, nobody was writing about toxic chemicals in consumer products or the effects consumer products have on the environment...or identifying safe and green products. Now the world has caught up with me. :-)

Though my basic subject has stayed the same all these years, my understanding of it has changed enormously, as I've learned more and more.

First I was only concerned about the health of my body. Then I realized the importance of the environment. And now I'm learning how to live according to the laws of Nature. 

Today, I write from these three separate viewpoints, each one important in it's own way. Whichever you are most interested in right now, they all make a difference, they are all steps in the right direction.

1. Nontoxic Products

My first interest was in how my consumer choices affect my own health. When I first found out--back in 1982--that there were toxic chemicals in my own home making my body sick, I wanted to know where they were found in consumer products, how they make us sick, and how we can choose and find safe products. And I am still interested in this today, perhaps now more than ever. We have more safe products to choose from, but also more scientific data about the dangers of the toxic chemicals that still exist in products. There is much in the news today about the dangers of toxic chemicals in consumer products. I can help you identify and find nontoxic, natural, toxic-free, and organic products that are safe to use.

2. Green Products

Once I removed all the toxic chemicals from my home, I began to be aware of the effects my choices as a consumer have on the larger environment. I started researching and writing about the environmental effects of consumer products in 1987, even before they were called "green."  For me, the environment isn't "out there" somewhere. I live in it, and what I do to it--for better or worse--directly affects my own health and well-being. Without the Earth, we would have no air to breathe or food to eat or houses to live in. So, for me, the health of our bodies is completely dependent on the environment. It's all one system of life. I can help you identify and find green products that help protect the environment. Click here:  www.debragreenproducts.com.

3. Living as Nature

In my own personal life today, I am exploring and envisioning  a way of life that is beyond being a consumer of industrial products, and writing about it using my married name, Debra Dadd Redalia. There is an entirely new paradigm of sustainability emerging now, with a whole different way of looking at life that is about restoring our awareness of and direct interaction with the natural world. It's about living locally, seasonally, simply, and cooperatively. It's about caring about each ourselves, each other, and all life. It's about empowerment and skill and being in harmony. This is personally where I'm going in how I live, and I love it. Come see:  www.living-as-nature.com.

Whether you are just starting out learning about any of these subjects, or you have been living nontoxic, green or according to Nature for years, you'll find valuable information on my websites that will improve your own life and the world. Take a look!
