Couches, mattresses, rugs, curtains\u2014they all consisted of materials found in nature.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen you walked into a house back then, almost everything was natural,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 says Barry Cik, environmental engineer and co-founder of Naturepedic.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBut now? Nothing is natural.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What changed? Where did we go wrong? Why did companies stop using natural materials?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re into pointing fingers or placing blame, you can (fairly) point towards petroleum and money.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCompanies started adding petroleum to almost everything. Natural fibers aren\u2019t nearly as flammable, but petroleum is much cheaper.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Check out this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aDNPhq5ggoE\">video<\/a>\u00a0to see the difference between a modern home fire with petroleum-based furnishings and a legacy home fire with more natural furnishings:<\/p>\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"fitvid613622\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aDNPhq5ggoE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Petroleum can be found in TV cabinets, plastic wood, detergents, paint, toilet seats, furniture, etc. (Click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovativewealth.com\/inflation-monitor\/what-products-made-from-petroleum-outside-of-gasoline\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0for a list of more petroleum-based products that may shock you.)<\/p>\n<p>Because it is common in so many products, America saw the introduction of flame retardants and flammability standards in the 1970s. Flame retardants are chemicals that are added to materials to slow or prevent the growth of fire.<\/p>\n<p>Flame retardants can be found in (but are not limited to) these products:<br \/>\n\u2013 Furnishings: upholstery, mattresses, carpets, curtains<br \/>\n\u2013 Electronics: computers, laptops, phones, televisions,wires, cables<br \/>\n\u2013 Building and construction materials: insulation materials such as polystyrene and polyurethane insulation foams<br \/>\n\u2013 Transportation products: seats, bumpers, overhead compartments, automobiles, airplanes, trains<\/p>\n<p>And while the term \u201cflame retardant\u201d sounds like a good idea for safety reasons, environmentalists warn that these chemicals are not safe.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFlame retardants are toxic and guess what? If something is on fire and you pour a gallon of gasoline on it, it doesn\u2019t matter if there are flame retardants or not, it\u2019s going to burn the same,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Cik says.<\/p>\n<p>Cik explains that not only are flame retardants not as effective as people think, but they also off-gas, meaning they emit chemicals into the air and onto everything around them, damaging the environment and the people in it.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOnce you mess with the environment, you can\u2019t undo it. And that also applies to people, in a lot of ways. Especially kids.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So how do companies get away with adding flame retardant chemicals into products, knowing they are not safe?<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe chemistry rule,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Cik says,\u00a0<em>\u201cthe dose makes the poison.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cik explains that companies and manufacturers believe that if the dose is low enough, it\u2019s not a poison. His counter argument? Aspirin.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLet\u2019s say you have a terrible headache. You take a little dose of Aspirin. Just a little, tiny dose. That tiny dose gets rid of your headache. So how low of a dose is really low?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cik also explains the cumulative effect of these chemicals, reminding people that maybe it won\u2019t hurt you at first, but overtime, ingesting these chemicals will surely hurt the environment and its people.<\/p>\n<p>As people are learning the true dangers of petroleum-based products and flame retardants, changes to improve our standards are coming. States are now writing and enforcing laws that ban certain flame retardants. In 2016, Washington passed a bill to ban five flame retardants. California is also making changes to previous bills to eliminate the use of specific chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>Spreading awareness is the first step towards making changes.
