From a historical
perspective, technological revolutions have coincided with population
explosions. There have been three major technological revolutions – the
tool-making revolution, the agriculture revolution, and the industrial
revolution – all of which allowed humans more access to food, resulting in
subsequent population explosion. For example, the use of tools, such as bow and
arrow, allowed primitive hunters greater access to high energy foods (e.g.
animal meat). Similarly, the transition to farming about 10.000 years ago
greatly increased the overall food supply, which was used to support more
people. Food production further increased with the industrial revolution as
machinery, fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides were used to increase land
under cultivation as well as crop yields. In short, similar to bacteria that
multiply in response to increased food supply, humans have increased their
population as soon as food became more abundant as a result of technological
innovations.

Homemade herbal
cleaning products are mostly composed of just one main substance – the cleaning
agent; you are not paying for bulking additives, artificial colors or perfumes.

evidence that links the use of chemical cleaners such as bleach with the
development of asthma in moth children and adults. Some chemicals can see off
allergic reaction or contact dermatitis. And U.S. study discovered that women
who held cleaning jobs while pregnant had a higher incidence of birth defects
in their children. So, whether you already committed to a greener way of
cleaning or just want to save money and simplify your life a little, herbal
cleaning makes a lot of sense.
