WATCH THIS NOW: Six Classes of Chemicals to Avoid

The Six Classes is a visionary program of the Green Science Policy Institute, whose aim is to reduce the use of entire classes or groups of chemicals of concern. Learn how the class concept enables you to reduce their use and improve health. www.SixClasses.org

I just love the work of Green Science Policy Institute—it’s backed by serious science, but it’s accessible and actionable. It provides a necessary wakeup call without the usual paralytic effect that leaves us too scared to effect any real change in our lives or our environment. In this short video, GSPI’s Founder and biophysical scientist Arlene Blum expertly summarizes the ongoing issues with chemical regulation in the US and introduces six categories of toxic chemicals and why we should avoid them. It’s worth watching this and also the six short clips (found at https://www.sixclasses.org/videos) that each focus on one of the chemical classes to avoid.
