Many chemical products found in homes can be hazardous to use or store.
They may also pose environmental hazards when used or disposed of. Washington Toxics Coalition's Home Safe Home Program combines research and public education to help consumers find the least hazardous products to use in and around their homes. The Home Safe Home Program has produced a series of fact sheets that identify hazards with various types of products and suggest alternatives. The Green Gardening Program educates residents of Seattle and surrounding King County about how to plan and maintain a home landscape in harmony with nature. The program stresses good design and plant choice, proper maintenance, least-toxic pest control, and resource conservation and recycling.
