Having belonged to some very "out there" anti pesticide organizations, it never failed to amaze me that people who didn't want a little pesiticde sprayed on a piece of fruit six weeks before it was harvested, would let their husbands sand furniture in a room out gassing into the kitchen.

While an uncovered soup pot bubbled - breathing in and out the fumes of paint and varnish.

One anti-pesticide leader I know let her husband work on his boats in their garage which was, you guessed it, right below the main area of the house, and the stairway vented all the gasses directly into the home. My skin would turn blue while I was visiting, and my entire body would go numb.

then there are the homes where everyone Glades and Febreezes until there isn't a smidge of oxygen left - but hey, at least their lawn is organic!
