To protect our planet, your health and ours, Interior Peace Zen Mind Living recommends the use of all natural products, preferably made from renewable plant resources which offer the quality and durability of the best synthetic products, with none of the dangerous by-products and hazards of these industrial chemicals.

PAINT IS POISON, DYES ARE DEADLY

Modern synthetic colors present serious ecological and toxicological risks during production, manufacture, application, use and disposal. Ingredients such as solvents, monomers, softening agents, and biocides all affect our individual and global environment and health.

Paint, for example, can contain more than 10,000 chemicals, many newly created with little research regarding their long-term effects on both humans and the environment. By using these products in your home you are actually sealing your space with a layer of industrial poison that seeps into your life for years with unknown consequences.

In your home, the problem with poisonous fumes from paints and dyes is worse than ever, due to a paradox in the environmental movement -- in the past 20 years, "energy-efficiency" has led to a sharp reduction in the amount of fresh air in our homes, resulting in astounding levels of indoor air pollution.

We firmly believe that the paints, colors and textiles widely used today are insidious poisons that not only cause eye, nose, and respiratory irritation -- they also may cause cancer, asthma, allergies, 'Sick Building Syndrome' and MCS. In our opinion pregnant women and newborns should avoid exposure to 'fresh' paint (less than one year old) and textiles (particularly from the Peoples Republic of China) with the same vigilance as they avoid smoking, drinking or using crack cocaine.
