 In a large city like Philadelphia, pests, air pollution, and other sources of detrimental environmental exposures impact the quality of our daily lives. The methods we choose to control pests, the cleaning and personal care products we purchase and use, and how we care for our immediate home environment can have consequences on our health.  As we navigate our weekly routines, we can all find ways to reduce harmful exposures and enhance the health of our home environments.

 Information tables will offer additional information from local businesses and organizations that promote healthy homes through the services they offer.

Interested attendees will be entered into a raffle to win a copy of Spit That Out: The Overly Informed Parent’s Guide to Raising Children in the Age of Environmental Guilt by Philadelphia author Paige Wolf.
