Doesn’t It Make You Sick?
Harmful chemicals are in our homes, workplaces, and in products we use every day. Join us at a free event to learn more, find out how you can make change, and protect yourself and your family.
Current Federal law does not protect you and your family from harmful chemicals. In fact, health and safety testing has been required on only 200 of the 80,000 chemicals on the market.
Chemicals in our everyday lives can harm your reproductive health and the health of our kids. As a health care provider, it’s our job to promote healthy families.
That‘s why Planned Parenthood is working with our partners in the environmental community to try to limit chemicals that have been linked to health problems like infertility and breast cancer.
Event co-sponsors include: Washington Toxics Coalition, Washington State Nurses Association and Washington Environmental Council Voter Education Fund
