Women and the Environment Expo at Goucher College This Tuesday

Women and the Environment Expo
Heubeck Lounge
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
11 am - 2 pm

Are you interested in how you directly affect the environment? Do you want to learn about less expensive and environmentally-conscious alternatives? Come to the Women in the Environment Expo and learn about the harmful chemicals and substances in everyday products (including personal care products, household cleaners, etc.) and female-centered alternatives to using them! The following will be highlighted:
  • Companies that have recyclable packaging, use naturally derived agents, and overall, have a better reputation of being environmentally-friendly
  • Health information
  • Female environmentalists
  • How to read products labels
  • Recipes for do-it-yourself products
There will be demonstrations at 11:15 for making laundry detergent and 1:15 for making shampoo. Feel free to bring your empty containers to take free samples!

This event is presented by a group of students in Women's Studies 230. Check out their blog:
