About this Event

We will explore the many ways in which we can protect ourselves from chemical harm, as individual, households, businesses, and communities. Topics will include the numerous carriers of toxins into our lives, such as food and food packaging, plastics, personal care and household products, clothing, and more. We will also explore our chemical reality, and what’s needed at a system level to fully protect us. Matt’s approach is participative and we’ll work with the knowledge in the room among us as well as the expertise he brings.
