excellent idea! As I've long been convinced that many of the "modern ills" like asthma are caused by the chemical smog in most homes - more power to your elbow!

ps really like the site -
loathe the google ads!

to extrapolate - this sort of advertising appears on far too many sleazoid spam sites to be used on a "straight" site - it looks cheap and moneygrubbing!
-it's also distracting from your content - I was of the belief that you slave for months to get a website "just right", you've got your SEO right, and there's your punter- there on your site, reading your content.............he takes one look at the Googlead for Herbal gentlemans requisites, he's clicked, and disappeared off to the furthermost reaches of hyperspace, never to return!
If you must fund raise from the site, a straight banner rotation that you control is far better - you get to choose the companies with whom you are associated.........

Easier said than done ... where would one get such banners? Any ideas?
I dislike the Google ads myself, but needs must at the moment!
