Health
Environmental hazards can cause health problems, which is why we work to prevent pollutants and toxics from entering our bodies and our environment.
Many personal care products and home cleaning products contain toxic chemicals that can harm our bodies and ecosystems, so we are pushing for smarter regulations of cosmetics and home cleaners through our What's Inside? That Counts campaigns. We are also working to make Canada pesticide-free, and offer resources on which chemicals to avoid and how to shop for safer products.
