More couples facing infertility. Sperm counts going down. Reproductive cancers going up. What's going on? Scientists are finding that exposures to hormone-disrupting chemicals in cosmetics, plastics, cleaners and other consumer products we use every day are playing a role!

At this FREE forum you will:

  • Learn about ways to protect your health by choosing safe cosmetics, non-toxic cleaners and other safe products.
  • Find out how public policies could better protect our health and how to get involved in advocating for these policies.
