Not So Green Green Cleaners

"...so-called “green” or "natural" household cleaners aren’t any less toxic than regular ones—and in fact, are sometimes more so."

I'm so glad to see someone saying this in public. Back in the old days, the environmentally conscious folks were ape over Simple Green. In my office alone, there were a few of us who had to make a stink to prevent its usage in our vicinity 'cuz it burned our throats and eyes and made us wheeze. I'm all for being nicer to the environment, but let's do it intelligently. After all, lots of really nasty stuff is 'natural'.
