The WWF has a very readable section on their site that lists basic ways to reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals. I love it when the valuable theories and ideas of any organization/person can be boiled down to what the reader can do at that moment to start change. I've recopied the top 10 but there are a lot more on the site along with explanations for each.
Eat lower on the food chain (less meat and dairy).
Do not microwave in plastic.
Do not use pesticides (inside, outside, or on pets and kids).
Quit smoking.
Treat dead batteries as hazardous waste.
Wash hands, floors and windowsills frequently.
Avoid "super-strength" specialty cleaners.
Avoid mercury fillings.
Read labels and call 1-800 numbers for information on product formulations.
Write or call local, provincial and federal politicians, asking them to take action to reduce hormone- disrupting chemicals in our environment.
