9 Summer Eco-friendly Tip from Members

During our June meeting, we asked folks if they had an eco-friendly tip for the summer.
Here are what our members said:

💚 Turn up the AC one degree up or try not to run the AC/use a fan
💚 Hang dry clothes
💚 Upcycle clothes
💚 Compost

This talk will address key scientific findings and offer insight into ways to protect ourselves and our loved ones. A Q&A session will follow Jane’s presentation.

Jane van Dis, MD, FACOG, Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Rochester will present on the prevalence of plastics and the effects that plastics and the chemicals inside them have on our health.

Almost every bit of plastic breaks down into “microplastics.” Documentaries such as “Plastic People” show how these microscopic particles drift in the air, float in all bodies of water, mix into our soil, and end up in our bodies.
