Three Cheers: To Ann Margaret LaGoy
for putting the environment first in developing her line of cleaning
products. According to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, many of the pollutants in household cleaners
have a wide range of effects on human health, from eye, nose and
throat irritation to headaches, loss of coordination, organ damage
and even cancer. LaGoy, 34, began experimenting
with cleaning alternatives after an experience while she was a housekeeper.
When a shower cleanser caused her lungs to burn as she was cleaning
a customer's shower, she researched natural cleaning ingredients.This young Fishkill-based entrepreneur
is a positive example of someone who is successful in business,
and whose products benefit the environment and have a positive impact
on others' health, a rarity. Editorial from the Poughkeepsie
