Killer Botox:

Before it's released to doctors, Botox is tested on animals to determine its lethal dose. Animals in the high dose groups suffocate, become paralyzed or have their vision impaired. Say no to the needle and try a daily regimen of natural, anti-aging cream and serums instead.

Why It's Good:

Unlike other pressure-treated wood products containing ACQ (the less toxic alternative to arsenic-containing CCA in most pressure-treated woods), ProWood Micro is not corrosive to fasteners and hardware and can be submerged in fresh water. Aesthetically-speaking, unlike ACQ-treated wood, it isn't greenish in color, so you don't have to wait for the greenness to fade into a nice gray before clear-staining it for a natural wood look. If you choose to stain it with a color, the natural wood base color will allow the stain to look as manufacturers intended.

Why It's Green:

It was awarded the Green Cross, or Environmentally Preferable Product (EPP) certification, for its reduced impact on human health and the environment. Its got a limited lifetime guarantee, ensuring it will be around for a long time, further reducing its impact on landfills.
