Simple Steps to Avoid Environmental Toxins

Courtney Evans from Mt. Sinai's Children's Environmental Health Center joined us this morning at the Green Schools meeting.  They are holding an educational seminar with Dr. Sarah Evans on "Simple Steps to Avoid Environmental Toxins" on March 6th at 7 pm at the Greenwich Library.  We thought the PTAC Wellness Committee would be interested in this event and perhaps you'd like to share it with your reps.  

The organization is also hosting a fundraiser on May16 from 6:30-10:30 at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich.  It will feature a green expo of innovative and safe products and special guest Ken Cook, President and Co-Founder of Environmental Working Group.
