POLLUTION IN PEOPLE: LIVING WITH THE ENEMY Our nation's laws on dangerous, toxic chemicals have failed to keep them out of our everyday products. Someday, we'll walk into a store and every product on the shelf will be safe for our families and the environment. But until then, the Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes and Clean New York, a non-profit environmental health and justice organization, are working together make that happen and to help you stay educated about the products you use at home. As with our “Toxic Toys” event in December 2008, we are now hosting a Healthy Home Party! Join us to learn what you can do to protect your health and environment and get involved in the cause. The main topics covered will include personal care and children’s products. *What: "Healthy Home" House Party* *When: July 29th, 10am-12pm* *Where: Cancer Resource Center, 612 W State St, Ithaca* *Who: Friends, family, and community. This issue affects all of us!* Bring one of your body care products and we’ll show you how to look it up on the EWG Cosmetic Database. There will also be a demonstration of how to make your own products along with recipes and samples to take home. AND! You can also bring a toy and we'll test it for lead and other harmful chemicals. Refreshments will be provided. Free childcare available upon request. *Please RSVP to Sharon Kaplan 277-0960 OR [email protected] by Monday, July 27th.* -- Katie Kelly Child-Safe Products Campaign Coordinator Clean New York, a project of Women’s Voices for the Earth 734-646-2119 www.clean-ny.org _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins Questions about the list? ask [email protected] free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
