Our water supply is even being contaminated everyday when flushing  these hazardous chemicals in our toilets and sinks. Using toxic chemicals are putting a burden on our environment. With the burning of trees and the usage of toxic chemicals we are living in a world more like a toxic soup exposing ourselves to many different toxins at once.
