		<description><![CDATA[Maude Barlow opened my eyes and forced me to think about the world’s use of water.

This is the biggest ecological crisis of our time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Parabens are a class of chemical compounds used as preservatives primarily in personal care items (like shampoos and deodorant), pharmaceutical products and food additives.  Parabens are esters (a chemical compound where an acid molecule has bonded with an alcohol molecule, displacing a water molecule) of para-hydroxybenzoic acid.  While some parabens are generated in nature by plants to ward off fungus and bacteria, virtually all parabens in commercial products are manufactured synthetically.]]></description>

There are certain common substances to avoid, and while we've tried to summarize the main ones to look out for, it's also useful to learn how to read the product ingredients label.
