Spring has Arrived!
According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, 98% of poison control cases for children under 5 occur in the home. Most cases involve common household products like cleaning products (e.g., laundry pods), personal care or hygiene products (e.g., hand sanitizer), or medications/vitamins/supplements (e.g., Benadryl).
Spring cleaning is a great time to properly dispose of these and other hazardous materials around your home! Make sure to read the labels of cleaning products, pesticides, and other chemicals to see if they require special disposal. Contact your local household hazardous waste facility for more information on safe disposal methods and hazardous waste disposal locations, take-back or drop-off events, and community pick-up days.

April 22 is Earth Day!
Earth Day is just around the corner! It's a great opportunity to reflect on our impact on the environment and how we can make a difference. Consider participating in a local cleanup event, planting a tree, or reducing your plastic consumption.
Because kids are especially vulnerable to toxins, we can also make small changes around the home that can make a big difference in protecting children's health, including switching to non-toxic cleaning products, installing high-efficiency air filters, and reducing our use of pesticides.
