Every human life is precious and there is no greater value than that of valuing the lives of others. It was once said that knowledge is power and what you don't know can hurt you. Some habits of cleaning with certain products are generational in nature. The habit of using certain products to clean have been passed down from others. In some cases, the effectiveness of using the product superseded the passing down of knowledge of the ingredients in those products.

Now, with today's normalcy of having easy access to data, we all have an opportunity to educate and enlighten those who have been shielded from the important facts of how harmful some products are. If we truly value human life, then this mission will not be a chore, it will be a privilege. 

For one, we should exercise the value of communicating "the risks " (health wise ). They are numerous: respiratory problems, kidney issues, brain damage, heart problems, cancer, skin and eye irritation, nausea, etc.. 

Next, we should exercise the value of educating others on "the remedy". This is two-fold because on one hand we have to encourage everyone who uses the harsh chemicals to always wear protective equipment. Subsequently, we must educate, those who are interested, on the benefits of green cleaning. This includes showing them examples of natural alternatives to specific harsh chemicals that they may be accustomed to using. There are certified individuals who are passionate about assisting them with this: https://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services.

In closing, we should also exercise the value of inspiring others on "the rewards". Green cleaning not only reduces health risks, improves indoor air quality, protects employees, customers, neighbors, families, and friends, but it also improves productivity and contributes to reducing waste in landfills.
