Hi Everyone,

I was delighted to see the New York Times article about the power of the lawn sign, “In This House“. This lawn sign has been prominently displayed at the entrance to my property for years now. The first one I put up only lasted 2 weeks before someone stole it. I wasn’t sure if someone took it because they loved it, or because they hated it, but either way, I knew I wanted it to set the stage for the vibe of my home and our politics. I bought three more, so I would have back up if it was stolen again. I’m happy to report that I still have the two backups in my garage!

Dr. Sally Edwards, Senior Research Associate at the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production Joins Bhavani on PRN!

Dr. Sally Edwards is a Senior Research Associate at the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. She has many years of experience in engaging a wide range of stakeholders to promote the environmental health of communities and develop safer and greener products. She conducts research to identify environmentally sound solutions and works actively with the Green Chemistry & Commerce Council to advance the use of green chemistry in product design and development. Sally’s latest endeavor is the creation of a new podcast called Persistent and Pervasive: Feminists take on Toxics that we will be hearing more about during our conversation.

Sally also provides consulting services to businesses, NGOs, and communities to support their environmental sustainability efforts. Sally serves on the board of Women’s Voices for the Earth, an environmental organization based in Missoula, MT whose mission is to “amplify women’s voices to eliminate the toxic chemicals that harm our health and communities.”

Sally holds a MS in Environmental Health Science from Harvard University and a BA in Human Biology from Stanford University. She completed her doctorate at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Her book, Beyond Child’s Play: Sustainable Product Design in the Global Doll‐Making Industry was published in 2009.  

I hope you can join us and learn more about the toxins in some of the products we purchase, and what better alternatives are out there.
