If you're from a typical suburb, Amanda, one might assume that people around you either had their lawns treated with fertilizers and pesticides and herbicides, or did it themselves, an even more dangerous prospect. Mine is the only house on my suburban block that suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous dandelions, instead of applying a chemical to 'cure' my lawn and make it look like every other lawn in the neighborhood. We can really come up with quite a few instances during each day where we come in contact with chemicals. Stepping in a puddle at the gas station could bring petroleum residue into the living room. Same with the stuff mentioned in the first paragraph here. Microwaving food in plastic is another potential source. Air and water pollution. Solvents used to clean up paint messes. The wonderful stuff they spray along the creek or on the trees in the springtime. Actually, I do wonder why everyone doesn't have PD! Enjoy winter!
