February 18, 2015
If you’re a parent or caregiver of a school-aged child, you’re probably familiar with the question, “But do I have to go to school today ?” All kids, no matter how much they like school, sometimes want to spend the day doing other things. (I suppose we don’t really outgrow that urge…) But though...

NO to cancer risk with our makeup!

January 13, 2015

Comunidades saludables: Continuación de los "asuntos pendientes" de la EPA

October 10, 2014

Mi trabajo como asesorar a la EPA consistía de asuntos de justicia ambiental, que incluían trabajar con comunidades de color, y comunidades de bajos ingresos y tribales, que luchaban para que sus comunidades fueran más saludables.

We can...
