"There are many sources of information out there about detoxing your home. Debra's List is an excellent place to start."

Vermont Natural Coatings
This is currently the wood finish I use. High performance water-based wood finishes made using whey, a by-product of local cheese making. Whey "has a high BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) that can increase the burden on waste treatment facilities and can pollute rivers, lakes, and even the ocean...By reformulating whey into a durable, natural wood finish, a potential waste product is taken out of the waste stream and put to a useful purpose." The VOC level is about 180g/L (grams per liter), which is lower than California's 250g/L--the toughest indoor air quality standard in the United States. I smelled a sample and it is remarkably low in odor (though it does still contain small amount of toxic chemicals, according to their MSDS). Once cured, it is very "food-safe", not toxic if child or pet chews on it. Cans are made with post consumer materials which can be recycled when discarded.
