TEDxManhattan: Changing the Way We Eat

Join Women for a Healthy Environment, PA Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) and the Food Studies Program at Chatham University on Saturday, January 21, 2012 from 10:30 am - 5:15 pm. (doors open at 9:30). This FREE one-day TEDx event will be held at Chatham University's Eddy Theatre.  Feel free to join us for the entire day or just drop by for a session. TEDxManhattan will explore the food system—from what has happened, to where we are, and onto what we are doing to shift to a more sustainable way of eating and farming. The themes for this year's sessions are Issues, Impact and Innovation. TEDx is licensed through TED but is an independently organized event. For more information about the day's agenda, visit www.tedxmanhattan.org.

Create a "green" makeover!

Check out WHE's Top Ten Lists...

You've asked for it and we've delivered, but we need your help to continue this great work! We often share lists of ingredients to avoid in personal care products and provide you with links to companies that offer healthier alternatives, but we know you're interested in products as well.

As our New Year gift to you, we are providing our Top Ten lists of personal care products for men, women and children/baby that can be purchased for under $10 each. Imagine that - a complete makeover for under $100! Our staff spent time exploring retail establishments in the Pittsburgh region for products that met our criteria for selection - readily accessible in local stores, product price under $10, and a ranking of 3 or lower (ideally lower than 2) on Environmental Working Group's cosmetic database.

These are certainly not comprehensive lists. We anticipate the amount of products that meet the criteria will continue to grow, and we'd love to hear your suggestions too. You can support this work by making a tax-deductible gift to Women for a Healthy Environment.
