Could that freaky air freshener really be eco-friendly?

August 25, 2008 · Print This Article

Looking for an air-freshener that leaves your house with a zesty, natural scent and doesn’t trigger mass extinctions with its toxic contents? Well, some wacky innovators in Japan have figured out how to bring you a grapefruit-scented air freshener that’s so weird that it’s hard to believe that it’s not restricted handedly eating the ozone layer. Somehow, it’s supposedly environmentally friendly.

whether you have misgivings about introducing a chemical snowstorm into your indoor atmosphere, I’m right there with you. It’s hard to believe that inhaling Febreeze, or in that case, Fabria scented snowflakes won’t do

great damage to you children’s genetic inheritance. Whether or not that stuff is actually harmful to the human body, it certainly defies the spirit of being eco-friendly — talk about rapid climate change.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the notion of having a little burst of holiday cheer with the push of a button, but dissolving chemical snow seems kinda creepy. I don’t know whether I really want to cover my house in a “soft, snow-like mist that uses the natural deodorizing qualities of astringent persimmon and grapefruit.”
