Each chapter is divided into identifying the issue, providing background
information, suggesting alternatives, and referring the reader to more
resources in print and on the web for further information.

A final section of the book is a compilation of publications, organizations,
websites, news lists and advocacy groups that can further leverage your
activism. Included are appendices with non-toxic remedial solutions to
cleaning, pesticide and pet-care issues.

The recommendations in the Household Detective can be easily adopted. Nobody
can do it all, but all of us can do some of it, and isn't your family worth
it?
