By asking the right questions and doing a little up-front research, consumers have the power to appoint their sanctuaries with non-toxic, ecologically responsible items that are built to last and won’t pollute the environment. According to the Sustainable Furnishings Council (SFC), 80 percent of the environmental impact of any product comes from the materials used to make it, so it’s vital to ask about all of the material components in a piece of furniture...." My notes: Health doesn't just mean what we put IN our bodies. It's in our air, what we sit on, what we wear, & use.

Our skin is the largest organ of our body. What we put on it enters our body and has an effect on it.

Intriguing article! I'll admit I haven't thought enough about it...what to shop for, where to buy it. There's a lot to learn here :-)
