The Case for Clean Living in Climate Crisis: How Your Choices Can Help Cultivate Ecosystem Resilience

Sydney Cook, Made Safe

Stage 2

As we face an escalating climate crisis, clean living is more important now than ever.  From plastics to flame retardants and petroleum products to pesticides, conventional products place a burden on our ecosystems and our communities. With a planet that deeply needs our care, how can we ease these burdens?

In this session, we will investigate one intersection of clean living and climate change – choosing products that are better for our health as well as the health of our planet. Join us as we explore why our choices matter and how we, as wellness advocates, can support both our ecosystem’s ability to be resilient as well as our own.
