Light Up Some Soy
Love the way a candle fills the room with a welcoming aroma? You might not, when you think about the other potential toxins that are also filling the room. Lucky for you, you can still have all the ambiance and aroma of candles, without the carcinogens.
One (and probably the best) option is to get your hands on some local, pure beeswax candles. (Check your farmers market next time you go.) These are usually the least polluting choice. They last longer than the paraffin alternatives and give off a honey smell.
Another option are soy candles. They are made from soybeans (a renewable resource), burn longer, are biodegradable and contain no known carcinogens.
So next time you want to set a candlelit mood, don’t reach for the commercial paraffin candles. Check out some alternative options (like these from Method), and don’t forget to reuse the container when the candle is gone. Butter Dish, anyone?
