Going through breast cancer can throw your life into a spin. And one of the things that might cause your spin-out to speed up is considering all the changes people tell you that you have to make to be “safe” from getting cancer again. You might hear everything from changing your diet to the brand of underwear you choose. Then there's your drinking water, your cleaning products, your skin care…and here comes the spin. In this episode, I want to help you slow down the spin-out while understanding the first step to why lowering your toxic burden is truly important and how you can approach it in a way that isn't overwhelming. The last thing we need in our lives is more stress and anxiety. So, listen in to hear how you can lessen your toxic load in ways that work for you so you can stay calm and clean.   Referred to in this episode: Dirty Dozen Clean 15 Endocrine disruptors EWG.org TreeHugger.com Greenfacts.org Earthshare.org

EarthShare of Georgia was founded in 1993 by its member groups as the Environmental Fund for Georgia to represent them in employee giving campaigns, and to provide an efficient and secure way to manage their donations. In 2001, the Environmental Fund for Georgia officially affiliated with EarthShare, the national employee giving program, to become part of a network representing more than 400 environmental groups working locally, nationally and internationally. This affiliation streamlined representation and facilitated the ability to meet the needs of multi-state employers to organize a single campaign under one name, EarthShare. It also brought with it the fundraising power of the EarthShare network which has raised more than $150 million for the environment. Employee giving campaigns for EarthShare of Georgia have grown steadily each year, from 8 in 1993 to more than 70 in 2009, representing nearly 400,000 employees in the public and private sector.
