Nearly 63 synthetic chemicals are in the average American home. Many of these chemicals are found in cleaning products and are unsafe to those who frequently use them. Join the Human Impacts Institute Saturdays to explore health impacts, DIY non-toxic recipes, and how to work together to improve our community. Hear from experts in healthcare, media, advocacy, and community organizing, while sharing stories with your neighbors about the past and future health of our families and neighborhood!
