shocked by your electric blankie?

Tired of getting shocked by your electric blankie? Well, It’s not the only reason electric blankets make our hair stand on end – they also produce electric and magnetic fields that are potential health hazards. Unplug your electric, and either: A) cozy up with a buddy; or B) get an organic or recycled blanket to zap yourself warm.

What good benefits you get? First, no heated health controversies. The jury’s still out, but electric and magnetic fields,like the ones produced by cell phones may be connected to diseases like cancer.Second, saving electricity, no calculus required: Using a nonelectric blanket uses no energy whatsoever (unplugging your electric saves about $20 per year on your bills). Third, getting toasty…not roasty! Electric blankets are responsible for thousands of fires each year. Lastly, organic and recycled fabrics are easier on the earth than conventional ones, since they forgo pesticides and the production of new materials. Hope this can remind you guys!
