Yeah I read the story and then some research on the author. She is a sales force consultant and paid blogger. To summarize she is a paid mouthpiece for her clients undoubtedly pushing a mythical green everything initiative at a cost of course. Not sure how landfills work elsewhere but here in Florida there are multiple barriers to prevent those highly toxic RV mattresses from leaching into the soil and water
We all know that there are paid green shills & paid toxic-gick shills out there hocking products. And obviously, in the world we live in, everything comes "at a cost".
Landfills are notorious for leakage all over the country & the world. Let's not forget that there's virtually never a non-toxic barrier between between a toxic mattress and a sleeping body.
I grow much of my own food, never have to buy disposable razors because I straight razor shave with an antique straight razor, & do all sorts of things to consume & spend as little as possible. When I do consume, say on a new non-toxic mattress, I make sure to do a ton of product research, ask in the forums, etc to make sure I'm not getting a greenwashed product. I'm not prosthelytizing any lifestyle or product or trying to start some debate -just doin' some research before I spend a ton of close cuddly time with an object-, ... for me personally, I'd prefer not sleep on toxic gick.
