Our Everyday Environment: Sustainable Practices for a Healthier Life

Presenter: Lora Babb, M.E.L.P.; Sustainable Economies Program Manager, Manomet

When discussing the subject of toxins, we often think of someplace “out there,” a geographic area or body of water that’s polluted in some way by chemicals. Rarely do we think about our everyday environment—the places we live, work, and play—or about the products we put in and on our bodies. This lively and eye-opening conversation will look at what’s really in our personal care and household products and how they may be affecting our health. You’ll also learn why indoor air pollution is greater than outdoor air pollution, and how to protect your health by using safer products on your body and in your home!
