Anna explains exactly what chemicals are, and how toxics in everyday products affect us. I love the way she guides us room by room and shows us how to make sustainable swaps. It's the 'small change, big difference' approach. -- Janey Lee Grace, author of Happy Healthy Sober Go Toxic Free is a book that brings you up against something hard: just how much our world, our homes, our bodies have been poisoned by global industrialization. By the creams and cleaning products and flame retardants and bright plastic toys and packaging and non-stick coatings that promised to make life easier and more convenient - and did. But now the costs are being counted in all the ways we know so horribly well - which leads many of us to despair. Well, if like me you're despairing, this is the book for you - full of empowering facts and the new science and research, as well as simple practical advice, to lead us out of the mess we've made. -- Sheila Dillon, presenter of R4's 'The Food Programme' Honest yet inspiring, Go Toxic Free empowers us to take positive action today. -- Lucy Siegle Chemical pollution is an insidious problem.
