The most natural of art: Forest Sprite

This is art about as natural as you can get.

I put out a request on Twitter for photos of art made from nontoxic materials, and this is by far the most interesting response.

This is “Forest Sprite,” discovered and photographed by Morrie, who lives in SW Western Australia. He calls it a natural sculpture.

“It is actually a piece of bark,” he says, “shed from a karri tree (Eucalyptus diversicolor, in the background) that was caught hanging from a branch as it fell.”

Morrie is a chemical engineer, “the good kind,” he says. Well, he can’t be all bad if he takes walks in forests such as this one and thinks of hanging bark as art.

A glimpse of my secret garden

The outside world is filled with toxic chemicals that are dangerous to me, but I have created my own private, safe universe in my garden. Come take a look at a few of my favorite things: Lucy, the alpha hen; limes; a mynah at the bird bath; Lydia and her daughter Jolie; an Indonesian ginger flower; Jolie looking for treats; and a water lily with comets. Ahhhhhhh. Where is your safe place?

Recipe for nontoxic furniture oil

Leslie over at The Oko Box Blog invented a great recipe for a natural nontoxic wood oil. “I really believe there is a way to make what we need in a less toxic, chemical free way,” she says. “We just need some imagination and to stop buying into the marketing BS of big corporations.”

Leslie’s recipe:

Here is what you will need:

*Soy Oil
*Sunflower or Olive Oil
*Kosher Salt
*Vinegar (I use ume vinegar, but I think apple cider would work good too)

Doesn’t it sound too simple? I came up with this theory/formula knowing about treated wood being mainly salt and oil being a time tested preservative for centuries.

• Take all the ingredients and put them in a pot big enough to hold the amount you need (depending on whether you are doing wood floors or a chair…).
• You will use more soy oil then the others at approximately 50 -70% more in your recipe.
• Then add a ton kosher salt… meaning if you poured 1.5 Liters of oil in your pot, then you will want to ad at least 1.5 cups of salt.
• Then add a cup of the vinegar and bring to a boil.

The easiest way to apply the wood oil is with a sponge which will be able to be squeezed out and creates less waste. The cool thing is it won’t harm your skin, your brain, or your lungs & it won’t be outgassing any smell except one you might want to eat! If you would like to add a scent to your wood oil try throwing in a branch of lavender or rosemary.

White House food garden petition

Join in on this great campaign to petition President-Elect Obama to turn the White House lawn into an organic fruit and veggie garden. Go sign the petition!

We, the undersigned, are petitioning President-elect Obama to plant a large organic food garden or Victory Garden on the White House lawn with part of produce going to the White House kitchen and the rest to local food pantries. The White House is “America’s House” and should set a healthy example. President-elect Obama would not be breaking with tradition, but returning to it (the White House has had fruit and vegetable gardens before) and showing how we can meet global challenges such as food security, climate change, and energy independence.

Organic dairyman uses birds for pest control

Another wonderful and creative way to control pests without the use of toxic pesticides.

A long string of pink bird houses line the Bansen dairy farm. Not merely for decoration, these bird houses provide nesting grounds for the swallows that feed on flies, using nature to control insect pests naturally.

The hunt for nontoxic air fresheners and carpet cleaning

I worked on a question today from Ruth (at left), one of our flock with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, who emailed me about two problems she’s having in her apartment building. The first problem is about the toxic air fresheners used in the common areas, and the second is the landlady’s plans to have the hallway carpets professionally cleaned.

In Ruth’s first email, I could feel her frustration:

…after speaking with the assistant manager and the land lord late last week, they have decided that they would just remove one of the gel type fresheners…the one that is in the main entry that I come in from my car in the parking lot….they said that there are just too many odors in the building coming out of people’s apartments, so it is necessary for them to use these. They thought of other things (those perfume mounts on the walls that spritz out fragrance periodically, like in the nursing homes…that is one of the reasons I am not working now!) and they came up with having the hall rugs cleaned….I asked that they not use fragrance in the solution…they can’t honor that because the rugs are so dirty and stinky…thus they “have to use it.”

They asked me if I knew of an alternative….I thought perhaps there was an essential oil air freshener (solid?) that could be placed in the hallway instead, but have not found anything…

Luckily, Ruth’s landlady is open to alternative solutions. While I was researching air fresheners, Ruth emailed me with an update on the carpets:

The carpet cleaners are scheduled to come on Thursday, the 6th, and they will do just the halls. I spoke with my land lady just now, and she said she called them right away after I spoke with her the other day, explained my situation to them and they understood that there should be no fragrance used. It is a dry type of cleaning that they do, apparently…they don’t use water. Not sure what that is about. But it sounds like she did her best to let them know about  my issue with fragrance. So we will see what happens.

I was so happy to hear this! What I was most impressed with was the way Ruth got proactive, went to speak to her landlady. Brava, Ruth!

Meanwhile, I asked my Twitter community (an online social network) about any suggestions for nontoxic air fresheners. I received many suggestions, some ideas more suitable for home use than for an apartment building, but they are all good ideas. As always, people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity should be very careful when using any product; what might work for one person might be problematic for another.

Allie at Allie’s Answers recommends the Everyday Stain & Odor Remover from Earth Friendly Products. Is there a canary out there who has tried this product? Please give us your thoughts in the comment section.

Of the rest of the suggestions, some involve natural scents, which may or may not work for people with MCS.

Adonya Wong at Healing… Through the Eyes of Autism says she uses “Pure Citrus Orange by North American, it’s 100% natural & non aerosol. If the halls are carpeted, sprinkle baking soda on it. If not, mop with vinegar & water. Great odor fighters. Or dab your fave essential oil on a cotton ball & ‘hide’ it in several places.”

Recycle Your Day says, “We use Uni-Fresh, Air Freshner, Lavendar Scent by Earth Friendly Products - non toxic!” Lavendar is one of the very few natural scents that I can tolerate.

Two true Earth mamas recommend herbs straight from the garden. Arwen at Musings on the Tarot recommends fresh rosemary and sage (I grow both in my garden and LOVE them!), or DIY air fresheners with essential oil and distilled water. And Rose at A Little Bit of Green suggests fresh eucalyptus, which she says she’s always loved from her father’s floral shop, but would not work for me personally because I have a bad reaction to eucalyptus and other menthol type botanicals (up my nose and in my eyes!).

And in my hunt, I found natural Aromatherapy Refreshing Sprays at Vermont Soap Organics.

Your thoughts?

UPDATE!!!: Leslie, aka La Mama Naturale, at Recycle Your Day, has found just what we are looking for! It’s a nontoxic air freshener made my Method: no phthalates, in a container that 80% recycled paper, lavender scent (which as I noted is a botanical that I can tolerate).

I need to confess that the Method product was suggested on Twitter yesterday by the nice folks at Aquatic Eco-Systems, but I couldn’t find the link to the Method website to check the ingredients. And now we know! Yep, nontoxic!!

High level of toxic pesticide found in homes

Here’s yet another reason to go organic with your pesticides, use HEPA vacuums and air filters (and use them frequently), and remove your shoes before entering your home so as not to track toxic substances in from outside sources.

By the way, as the report below suggests, I use a boric acid and powdered sugar mix (50-50) for cockroaches and ants in the house, and diatomaceous earth for flies and mites in the chicken coops, all with great results.

(Beyond Pesticides, November 3, 2008) A new study, Pyrethroid pesticides and their metabolites in vacuum cleaner dust collected from homes and day-care centers (doi:10.1016/j.envres.2008.07.022), by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Exposure Research Laboratory finds concentrations of 13 synthetic pyrethroids and their degradates in indoor dust collected from homes and childcare centers in North Carolina and Ohio. The study results show the extent to which hazardous pesticides are present in indoor environments and threaten the public’s health, especially the health of children. With 85 vacuum cleaner bags analyzed, permethrin was present in all 85 dust samples, at least one pyrethroid pesticide was found in 69 samples and phenothrin was found in 36 samples.

[...]

Children are especially sensitive to the effects of permethrin and other synthetic pyrethroids. A study found that permethrin is almost five times more toxic to eight-day-old rats than to adult rats due to incomplete development of the enzymes that break down pyrethroids in the liver. Additionally, studies on newborn mice have shown that permethrin may inhibit neonatal brain development.

Although synthetic pyrethroids are often seen as safe alternatives to organophosphate insecticides, this study clearly demonstrates that when these chemicals are applied in houses, they do not disappear. Moreover, they are making their way into human bodies at alarming rates. At the same time, there are clear established methods for managing homes and schools that prevent infestation of unwanted insects without the use of synthetic chemicals, including exclusion techniques, sanitation and maintenance practices, as well as mechanical and least toxic controls (which include boric acid and diatomaceous earth). Based on the host of health effects linked to this chemical class, synthetic pyrethroid use in the home is hazardous and unnecessary.

Organic gardener in Sydney creates food and flowers

This morning I found a wonderful gardening blog, Garden amateur, by Jamie in Sydney, Australia. Jamie’s created a beautiful, yet practical garden, in a very small space, filled with fruit, veggies, flowers and charm. And the beauty part is: it’s all organic!

“The only themes going here are food, flowers and constant change,” says Jamie in his bio.

Here at left, where we might typically see lawn, we instead see potted fruit trees (foreground) and potted salad greens (right background), veggies encircled by colorful flowers and plants with variegated leaves, an inviting brick pathway, and what Jamie calls a “solar dryer” for clothes. Wouldn’t you love to walk out the door into this garden?

Always experimenting with organic pest control, Jamie blogs about “Organic pest controls that work well” — here’s an excerpt:

Here’s the zucchini patch this morning. Mostly healthy leaves and lots of flowers and fruits developing, but on the left of this photo you can see some leaves with powdery mildew. Me, worried? Not when there’s milk in the fridge!

The formula is as simple as can be. One part milk to nine parts water. I mix up a batch in a measuring jug, then apply via this 500ml spray bottle. As I have only three zucchini plants, this is more than enough. You can use any milk you like: skim, full-cream, buttermilk, low-fat, whatever. And if you don’t use all the solution one day, just give it a good shake a few days later and you can use it again. The experts say skim milk is probably best, as it has the least fat and so doesn’t smell much at all.

[...] It seems that there’s some top quality research going into developing organic solutions for common gardening pests, diseases and problems. The tradition that that everything about organic gardening is home-made and has a farmyard simplicity about it will just have to make a bit of room for the next generation of organic gardening – the one based on good science. As far as I’m concerned it’s the best thing that has happened to gardening in a long time. Organic gardeners have set the agenda for the future of gardening and finally, finally, science has got the hint and is catching up fast!

I’ve had bad problems with this mildew attacking my squash plants, and I had given up ever trying again. So I look forward to trying this formula. Thanks, Jamie!

I hope you organic gardeners out there will visit Jamie’s blog. You’ll find a treasure chest of inspiration!

Mommie blogger tackles toxic home products

Alison (at left with family), an excellent “mommie blogger” at GreenMe.vg, wrote this week on using nontoxic products in the home. It’s a fabulous post! Those of us with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity are always very excited to see the topic of toxic home products recognized and discussed within the green mommie blogosphere; green mommies are the savviest consumers around, they know their stuff!

I love Alison’s suggestions for nontoxic products, and she includes a very smart warning about not trusting the “green” label, which has no standard guidelines whatsoever.

…the lung is a working organ and the only way for humans to get oxygen into our blood stream. Every time we inhale a chemical irritant we damage our lungs. Enough damage and the lungs start to lose their ability to repair themselves. Furthermore airborne irritants and toxins can aggravate the lungs for folks who already have breathing problems, such as asthma, even worse they can induce asthma in folks who were previously not at risk. Smoking may be the most common cause of lung cancer but it is not the only cause.

According to research collected by the EcoMom Alliance over 150 toxic chemicals are common to the average household. What is really bad news, is that many of these chemicals have been connected to increased incidence of asthma, allergies, cancers, and behavioral disorders.

Children blossom while learning to garden

Children learn about the beauty of organic gardening at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens.

The San Antonio Botanical Gardens is known for showing of exotic plant life — like orchids and colorful roses.

But in rear of the Botanical center more mundane plants are grown — back at the Children’s Vegetable Garden.

Every Saturday morning children like nine-year old Ben Wenzel show up with their parents in tow to work on their assigned plot of land.

And recently it was time for the big harvest.

Ben’s mom Laurie carries off their haul of produce in re-used plastic grocery bags.

“We’ve got a couple of little turnips. We picked the little ones. We’ve got a bunch of tomatoes. Then I’ve got a bunch of spinach. We’ve got lots of green beans,” she said.

Who’s chirping about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity today?

Melody at Little Home Blessings writes about the importance of safe housing for people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

Four years ago I couldn’t get out of bed most days. I was on oxygen regularly. It wasn’t uncommon for me to be too weak to speak or raise a glass to my lips. I suffered neurological impairment to the point that I couldn’t remember how to spell my own child’s name, and couldn’t make my hands cooperate in zipping a zipper.

I still have my limitations and I still have to be very cautious, but after 2 ½ years of living in a healing home, I’m now able to be out and about in public, to care for my children and generallylead a productive and satisfying life.

Melody’s post includes an excellent vision of how to create a healing home.

Catherine at Breathez writes about the connections between her Celiac Disease and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

In my case, trying to determine which one came first is like asking the proverbial question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. I may have had symptoms of MCS before those of celiac, but years of undiagnosed celiac caused permanent damage to my adrenal glands, which in turn caused more chemical injury–or did the chemical injury cause some of the adrenal damage and thus aggravate the celiac? These are questions I quit asking long ago, because there were no clear answers, and knowing wouldn’t change how things were anyway.

Catherine at Sacredseed’s Weblog was diagnosed with MCS in the winter of 2007, and writes about the power of ritual in her post “Living the Demetrian Wheel, reality strikes.”

October 15^th is the anniversary of the day I went into the Emergency Room at Disneyland in anaphylactic shock, which is a much longer story that does not need to be told here. That event triggered the toxins that had been stewing in my body from an exposure to Formaldehyde about 18 months earlier. The anaphylaxis pushed me over into full blown Multiple Chemical Sensitivity – the chronic illness I now live with. This year my business partner Jamie and I created a ritual to help me mourn some of what I had lost through that experience and celebrate some of what I have gained. We performed the ritual on Friday October 17^th at the Berkeley Marina with a handful of other friends who shared in letting go some of their grief and celebrating some of their joys. It was a quiet and poignant evening.

Now the wheel turns and the Wiccan in me prepares for Samhain this weekend. More honoring of grief and joy at the end of the year. Somehow it all fits together. And just behind me, supporting and offering comfort and understanding, I can feel Demeter’s presence. Sister, Lover, Mother, Goddess, Cohort in Crime, and Friend.

Making sense of the USDA Organic label

Understanding the USDA Organic label will help you make better choices when planning for a chemical-free diet.

Here’s the scoop:

Making sense of organic labeling can be difficult, and many consumers do not understand the significance of the USDA Organic label. Since October 21, 2002, the following guidelines were established by the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Organic Program (NOP) to assure consumers know the exact organic content of the food they buy.

Single-Ingredient Foods
On foods like fruits and vegetables, look for a small sticker version of the USDA Organic label or check the signage in your produce section for this seal.

The word “organic” and the seal may also appear on packages of meat, cartons of milk or eggs, cheese, and other single-ingredient foods.

Multi-Ingredient Foods
Foods such as beverages, snacks, and other processed foods use the following classification system to indicate their use of organic ingredients.

100% Organic—Foods bearing this label are made with 100% organic ingredients* and may display the USDA Organic seal.

Organic—These products contain at least 95–99% organic ingredients (by weight). The remaining ingredients are not available organically but have been approved by the NOP. These products may display the USDA Organic seal.

Made With Organic Ingredients—Food packaging that reads “Made With Organic Ingredients” must contain 70–94% organic ingredients. These products will not bear the USDA Organic seal; instead, they may list up to three ingredients on the front of the packaging.

Other—Products with less than 70% organic ingredients may only list organic ingredients on the information panel of the packaging. These products will not bear the USDA Organic seal.

Keep in mind that even if a producer is certified organic, the use of the USDA Organic label is voluntary. At the same time, not everyone goes through the rigorous process of becoming certified, especially smaller farming operations. When shopping at a farmers’ market, for example, don’t hesitate to ask the vendors how your food was grown.

*Salt and water are not included.

Who’s chirping about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity today?

At Zona pellucida… blinded by the light, Dana writes about developing a chemical sensitivity to disposable menstural pads and pantyliners when she was a teenager. Her solution? All-natural reusable cotton or flannel menstrual pads. “The story has a happy ending: Lunapads saved my life!” Dana says. “I highly recommend them.” Lunapads has a great blog, too!

Organic Authority picked up the story of Elizabeth Feudale-Bowes, who was diagnosed several years ago with environmental illness and has been ordered by a judge to remove the non-toxic back yard structure in which she spends most of her life. The Canary Report has been following this story, link here for background.

The World, out of Coos Bay, Oregon, reports on a couple that wants to buy and transplant a condemned house about ready to fall off a cliff so that the husband, who has Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, can live in an old, chemical-free house. It’s a pretty creative proposal and if city officials can figure out how to make it work, it’s a win-win for everyone involved.

Author Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore at NOBODY PASSES, darling, blogs in a post called “Thoughts on the vocabulary of disability” about the interconnections between MCS, fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She does a great riff on acronyms, but also speaks to the more serious topic of living with multiple disabilities.

A short history of the White House garden

Growing your own veggies and fruit is a great way to boost your nutrition and keep your diet free from contaminants. Need some inspiration to get started? You’ll love this video! It’s produced by a group that wants the next president to plant veggies in the White House gardens to inspire all America to grow more of their own food. The vid shows the logic of this request by showing the evolution of the White House gardens. You’ll love it!

This animated video is part of the “Eat the View” campaign to turn part of the White House’s 18 acre lawn back into an edible landscape. The video tells the story of the “America’s Garden” from 1800 when President John Adams planted the first “first vegetables” to feed his own family to the present day.

It ends by peeking optimistically into the future when the next President, seeing how our world is changing, announces plans to replant America’s garden, inspiring countless citizens to grow some of their own delicious, healthy, and environmentally responsible food.

The “Eat the View” campaign is powered by real people like you. If you haven’t yet signed our petition, please do so here: eattheview.org/petition

The video was produced by the nonprofit group Kitchen Gardeners International (KitchenGardeners.org) which is leading the “Eat the View” campaign. The animation is the creative genius of Eliot Morrison of yiggs.com.

Leslie Richard: Organic Painting, Part 5

Leslie is cranking these out so fast, I can barely keep up!!

A personal message from Leslie:

Now that I am learning how to use the paint & hair brushes, I can get more detailed -

This is part 5 in the Poke Berry & Turmeric painting series - using 100% recycled paper sewn together to make the canvas & hung with scrap fabric on a red bud tree branch. The brushes are made of human & horse hair (both work really well but horse hair holds the paint longer), the hair is secured to a stick with a rubber band.

NO chemicals are used what-so-ever, the poke berries & turmeric are boiled down for about an hour with some kosher salt & filtered water.

Super de duper fun !!!!!! Tell me what you think…

Radiation treatment inspires nontoxic papier-mache art

Artist began crafting her sculptures while she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

At left, artist and cancer survivor Marion Behr of North Branch Station poses with one of her sculptures on display at the Steeplechase Cancer Center in Somerville. MATTHEW APGAR/ MyCentralJersey.

While undergoing radiation treatment, the equipment surrounding Marion R. Behr brought her inspiration.

“To me, the cradles looked like abstract figures,” Behr said. “I started to think that it would be a challenge to use these cradles, which are just disposed of, as cores of shapes that could encourage others to get early detection.”

So creating nontoxic papier-mache sculptures using those contraptions became part of her recovery.

That’s fascinating enough, but what really perked up my ears is that she and her husband have patented a nontoxic method for etching and printmaking.

Behr works in several mediums. She and her husband, Omri Behr, traveled to Mexico in March to demonstrate a nontoxic method for etching and printmaking they invented. The couple’s etching method, patented in 1992, has taken them to Morocco, New Zealand and the northwest territories of Canada.

Interesting woman.

Here is the third and fourth video in Leslie Richard’s series on Organic Painting. Part 1 & 2 are here. Enjoy!!

Part 3:

Self Made organic paints from poke berries & turmeric -painted on paper sewn together, and hung with organic cotton on a tree branch. This is non toxic, chemical free art, and the color stays bright!

xoxo- Leslie

And Part 4:

Hey!!!

Can’t stop now, I am totally obsessed with these chemical free paints - this is another Poke Berry & Turmeric Painting, but this time I added natural charcoal from burned logs - the brushes are made from human & horse hair. The “Canvas” is 100% recycled paper, sewn together and hung with organic cotton from a tree branch.

I found out that the Declaration Of Independence was written in fermented POKE BERRIES! So, these will actually last at least a lifetime or two

Greenpeace says new Macs less toxic but not perfect

Bravo to Apple for reducing toxic components in their new Macs; now let’s get them totally nontoxic so I can buy one!

I was just about to buy a new Mac but am going to wait now until the end of this year when they’ve totally phased out PVC and flame retardants.

SAN FRANCISCO, United States - Greenpeace welcomed Steve Jobs’ announcement today that Apple’s latest set of notebook computers - the MacBook Pro, MacBook and MacBook Air - as well as the LED Cinema Display will now be free of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) internal cables and will no longer contain internal components containing brominated flame retardants (BFRs).

While not completely PVC and BFR-free, these new Mac models mark a significant improvement in toxic chemical phase-out for Apple, progress that is in line with the company’s pledge to phase-out all PVC and BFRs in its entire product line by the end of 2008. This commitment is in large part due to Greenpeace’s “Green My Apple Campaign.”

“Apple has raised the bar for other desktop and notebook companies, specifically on the phase-out of toxic Brominated Flame Retardants in internal components, whichsets a new industry standard for PCs,” said Casey Harrell, Greenpeace International Toxics Campaigner. “Now Apple competitors such as Dell, HP,Lenovo, Toshiba and Acer need to show that they can meet or exceed Apple’stoxic chemical phase-out.”

Electronic devices are a complex mixture of several hundred materials. Many of thesematerials contain certain toxic heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium and beryllium, and hazardous chemicals such as BFRs and polluting PVC plastic. These dangerous substances cause significant pollution and put workers andrecyclers at risk of exposure when the products are produced or discarded. Ofparticular concern is the exposure of women and children to lead and mercury, metals that are highly toxic and can harm children and developing fetuses even at low levels of exposure.
