I like Thieves all purpose cleaner made by a company called Young Living. (youngliving.org) Thieves is a blend made from essential oils and is concentrated so you can dilute to whatever strength you require for your cleaning. It doesn't smell horrible and since its all natural no worry about the kids or pets!
You can find a distributor on their website. I also am a fan of Seventh Generation products too (seventhgeneration.com) and you can find them locally in Target, Wal-Mart, even the Whole Foods. If you join their e-mail list on their website you can print out money saving coupons on your purchase of their products.
Hope this helps!
I don't have a favorite brand but I have used this list to make my own cleaning supplies since moving into a new house and love it. And it costs way less than the "organic" cleaners you can buy anywhere else.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
