May 22: Fragrance-Free Day in Pittsburgh

May 22, 2012 will be designated Fragrance-Free Day in the City of Pittsburgh. What does this mean? You will have an opportunity to find out "what your nose doesn't know" about this mystery ingredient found in hundreds of consumer and personal care products. We invite you to join Women for a Healthy Environment during several free events planned for next Tuesday including:  a Fragrance-Free proclamation by City of Pittsburgh Council at 10:00 a.m. in Council Chambers located at 414 Grant Street;      an educational webinar from 11:00 am -12:00 pm that addresses fragrance-free workplace policies. Experts will discuss health effects, legal issues and sample workplace policies. (Click here to download the flyer); and   a lunch-time event in Market Square where you can receive a fragrance-free toolkit, take the "Don't Spray for a Day" pledge, and enjoy live music provided by singer-songwriter Bill Deasy.     To register for any of these events, please click here. You can also click here to download a copy of the poster to share with family, friends, and colleagues. May is Asthma and Allergy Awareness month. What a better way to celebrate than with Women for a Healthy Environment on Fragrance-Free Day next Tuesday, May 22, 2012!
