   Pollution can be one of the serious factors we should be worrying about nowadays and we can make all the possible steps to control it. That makes a greener world.

   I am a very health conscientious mama who lives in, of all places, a highly agricultural area. Around my home was sprayed a total of 9 times this last summer, including aerially. We are hoping to move soon because all the spraying is a nightmare. To try to counteract this, I use chemical free products for my family from Young Living. I also diffuse essential oils into the air in hopes of purifying the air and helping especially my children. You can learn more about this at http://shayla.younglivingcircle.com/What-are-Essential-Oils.php and about diffusing the oils at http://shayla.younglivingcircle.com/Diffusing.php .
   They also have a page on children’s products at http://shayla.younglivingcircle.com/Kids.php . Hope this is helpful to someone out there!
