You may not realize it, but toxic chemicals are all around us in our homes, hidden in everyday household products: carpet, food packaging, and even our TV sets. Today we’re joined by Mike Schade of Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families to discuss his work on Mind the Store, a campaign that challenges major U.S. retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Home Depot to stop using these harmful chemicals in their products and packaging.
Over the course of the hour, he and Patty also discuss the PFAS contamination crisis, the dangers of toxic flame retardants, and what everyday consumers and citizens can do to push for a toxin-free America.
