En compagnie de RosaLee Jacques et sa famille, nous examinons les impacts environnementaux des gestes que nous posons dans chacune des pièces de nos maisons.

Dans cet épisode, on est dans la salle de lavage, et on s'ilintéresse aux produits nettoyants. Nettoyer, c'est polluer. Pour faire briller notre quotidien, nous utilisons des produits chimiques, hautement toxiques, qui s'accumulent peu à peu dans l'environement.
