LIBRARY TO HOST WORKSHOP ON DANGERS OF PERSONAL CARE ITEMS

Tompkins County Public Library and Clean New York will offer a workshop on the hazardous chemicals found in commonly used personal care items, Thursday, July 29 at 6:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Katie Kelly, a professional health educator for Clean New York, will provide an overview of commonly found chemicals, describe their dangers and offer product alternatives and tips for reducing exposure. Participants will learn how to make their own products and are encouraged to bring along an item from their daily care regimen to have its ingredients reviewed.
