Great work. Informative and motivating. A fear of mine is that as we become more aware of the need to opt out of this default (chemicals, screens, etc), those that wish to be be parents near term have a growing barrier of axiety around raising a child in a world where our default condition is inherently anti-life.

Thanks! I knew a lot of what was going on when I became a parent (though I learn new things every day still), and it didn’t de-motivate me. If anything, I felt a responsibility to bring people into this world who would, as much as possible, be untainted by all the chemical exposures, EMF, screen-time etc. It’s like, the more I knew, the more I felt like I had to pass that onto someone.

I still have a lot to do here. We’re starting our garden this year and hopefully, in a few years, it will be the source of most of our food and we can stop buying from the grocery store entirely. We’ll see, it’s going to be a lot of work, but it’s worth it. Nothing sucks more than dying of cancer at age 40 or realizing you can never have kids or grandkids because you’ve been doing everything the TV’s been telling you to do your whole life.
