GREAT SPEAKER confirmed for March 24 EcoParents meeting

Clear your calendar for March 24 and plan to come to our EcoParents meeting! We have lined up a FABULOUS speaker to help us figure out what we need to know to make smart choices for our families regarding PLASTICS!

Our speaker will be Kathleen Schuler, Senior Policy Analyst in the Food and Health Program for Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP). You may know of IATP for their Peace Coffee in addition to their wonderful research and advocay work! Kathleen is also Co-Director of Healthy Legacy, a Minnesota-based campaign that advocates for public policies and business practices that focus on safer products and safer production methods. In addition to policy advocacy, Kathleen provides information for consumers, and has written a series of "smart" food guides about reducing chemical exposures from dietary sources. She has served as the project coordinator for the Reducing Pesticides in Minnesota Schools Pilot Project.

IATP is an internationally respected expert, and we are lucky enough to have them headquartered right here in the Twin Cities...and even luckier to have their expert available to speak to us this month! Among many other publications, IATP is responsible for the "Smart Plastics Guide," the go-to resource on the topic of plastics.

Please plan to join us for this important topic.
