I love the Organic Consumers Association. Not only is founder Ronnie Cummins is funny and charming and smart, but he and his staff routinely serve up info that even many of the eco sites are too PC to publish. Consider this little nugget: 1,4-dioxane, which appears in not only conventional personal care and cleaning products but in plenty of “green” brands, too, is even more toxic than originally thought. Seventeen times more, in fact. Thankfully, the OCA has published a handy little shopping guide so you can get get your dishes/scalp/etc. clean, you can do it without boosting your likelihood of getting cancer.
