in measurably cleaner indoor air.

Remember,
most water filters are virtually ineffective at removing fluoride. Some people
use a water distiller to remove fluoride from tap water. These aren't cheap, but
compared to buying gallons of bottles water, can be a good value.

MOM's
in Alexandria is helping keep clear, blue, skies. They buy 100% of
their electricity from renewable sources.
If
you haven't been to
My Organic Market (MOM's), you really should check them out. This store just keeps getting better and
better. The store's
buyers have continued to find hard to find items in many product
categories. The nutritional supplement selection is outstanding. They
have one of the better "grab a healthy meal" selections you'll find, in
the refrigerated cases, including yummy vegetarian and vegan sandwiches.
They are carrying full vegetarian meals made by The Vegetable Garden in
Rockville, and the prices are only about $6-7 for a huge serving.
Their selection of pet foods with only "human
grade" ingredients is outstanding, much better than other health food stores and
about as good as the best small specialty pet supply
stores. Their bulk foods are a great way to get the best value in a time
when everyone wants good value. Plus, bulk foods are a great way to try a small
quantity of something to see if you like it or not.
MOM's tend to have newer products that you
might not see elsewhere: things like veggie burgers made from rice (for folks
that don't want soy), or non-dairy creamer made from almonds. If you, or your
child, are on a very restrictive diet, you may find some welcome additions to
your diet.
This
is a really
fun place to shop. Check them out.
