The Change Loudoun Project

Cancer rates are soaring. 1 out of 2 men and 1 out of 3 women will develop cancer. Cancer is the #1 killer of children under age 14. 1 out of 1.6 dogs and 1 out of 3 cats will also develop cancer. Almost every chronic disease is impacted by environmental toxicity. Most of these toxicities are created by the chemical and plastic industries. Plastics are known to cause elevated rates of heart disease, cancer, hormone imbalance, childhood obesity, asthma, food allergies, early puberty, and liver abnormalities. Health related costs from household chemicals amount to $340 billion a year in the U.S.

Eight million tons of plastic end up in the Earth's oceans each year creating a serious threat to the food source of billions of people worldwide. On average households uses between 5,000 and 7,000 plastic chemical containers and water bottles per year. Sadly less than 10% of these are recycled. If 1% of the homes in Loudoun participated in The Change Loudoun Project, over 8 million plastic bottles per year would not end up in landfills or our oceans. The need is great and the technology is here to help families and business owners radically reduce their chemical footprint, improve their health and save money.

Cost effective technology is available for homes, schools and businesses to replace many of the toxic chemicals used with safe, effective alternatives. A family of four using chemical cleaners and relying on bottled water can spend between $3,000 - $6,000 a year on water and almost $800 per year on chemical cleaning supplies. The real staggering price is the health crisis created for our families and pets as well as the long term devastating impact to our environment. Using innovative technologies, your family can expect significant cost saving. And, more importantly, the safety, convenience, quality of life and reduced impact to our environment is priceless.
