Women's Health and Environment

What do we know, and what can we do about it? Find out with these primers.

Today I just want to point readers to a great new resource. The Collaborative and Environment has created a new website geared toward women at www.womenshealthandtheenvironment.org and they have created
a toolkit that includes three PDF documents:

What We Know: New Science Linking Our Health and the Environment

What You Can Do: Everyday Actions to Protect Your Health

What We Can Do: Community Efforts to Protect Our Health<.li>

.

The toolkit documents are short (just 12-16 pages each), but really informative, and they provide excellent introductions for people who haven’t really been following this stuff. Print out a copy to give to someone you love (especially young women), or spread the word by leaving copies on the table at a local coffee shop, library, laundromat or doctors office. We can continue to hold the government’s feet to the fire to protect us, but we can’t wait for them to do so. We need to protect ourselves!
