Step one, write what you want and say it online. If you don't want fire retardants in your carpet, be specific, be positive. Tell the world what you would buy and why.  Companies are watching and recording your thoughts for the next product development meeting. No one makes a profit selling things that citizens don't want. Go Big Mother!
