Hello,
My name is Sara Leverette and I am the Oregon Environmental Council's environmental health outreach program director.
I am writing in hopes of finding Moms interested in participating in an advisory committee we are pulling together to develop a tool for parents to self-audit and make changes on a variety of environmental health concerns. When I say 'environmental health concerns,' I mean things like lead, mercury, pesticides, certain plastics, smoking, and other chemicals that have been shown to negatively impact health, especially the health of children.
We are hoping to put together an easy-to-use and empowering tool similar to the one we use in our Eco-Healthy Childcare program (www.oeconline.org/kidshealth/ehcc/index_html) and anticipate holding 2 advisory committee meetings, each of which will be 2 to 3-hours long. First meeting is likely to be scheduled for January.
Please contact me if this is something you would be interested in contributing to and feel free to call/write with any questions.
Best,
Sara Leverette
