| Dear Friend of Maine's Environment,
We hope you are making plans to join us next Friday, September 25th, at the Camden Opera House for Action Plan for a Toxic-free World: the Movement for Safer Chemicals and a Healthier Planet - a special event featuring Sandra Steingraber, with Maine House Speaker Hannah Pingree. Ecologist, author, and cancer survivor Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D., is an internationally recognized expert on the links between environmental pollution and disease. More and more, scientists are finding that common consumer products contain chemicals that are harmful to our bodies, to wildlife, and to the environment. Furniture, cosmetics, even baby bottles contain chemicals that are often unnecessary and are linked to learning disabilities, cancer, and other health problems. Maine is helping lead the way toward a national chemical policy revolution. Dr. Steingraber will discuss the growing movement to reform the way we produce, use, and manage chemicals, and what we can do as citizens and consumers to move our country to policies that ensure that the products we buy are safe for our families and the environment. Read a powerful piece in Orion magazine by Dr. Steingraber. With humor and unabashed honesty, Steingraber delivers a compelling message of hope for how we can achieve a safer, sustainable future. Having heard Sandra's message, I can assure you that you don't want to miss this event. An RSVP is appreciated, but not necessary. Please register online here. If you have questions, please contact Leisa Dennett at leisa@nrcm.org or (207) 430-0111. I hope to see you there!
Matt Prindiville Please forward to your friends.  | |
