How does YOUR environment impact YOUR health? What is more important – the products you use every day, or the effects of your outdoor surroundings?
We’ll review a typical day of two of our favorite citizens and 1. unveil the kinds of things they are exposed to every day – in their daily habits, their home and their neighborhood, 2. learn about the impact our world has on US, and 3. give suggestions for changes you can make that will impact YOUR health.
Panelists are Jane Houlihan, from the Environmental Working Group, ands Amanda Parks, co-owner of Equita. Our case studies are Justin Strong, co-founder of the Shadow Lounge + AVA, and Heather Arnet, executive director of the Women and Girls Foundation. Our moderator is Josh Knauer of Rhiza Labs.
Cocktails and conversation to follow. Join us!
