This workshop will both educate the audience members to 'detox' their homes and encourage them to attend a train-the-trainer Fall 2022 webinar series. Many of the household products we use everyday contain toxic chemicals that damage human health, as well as add to air, land, and water pollution. Through a fictional home improvement show and home tour, participants will learn of pollution prevention techniques and safer substitutes for chemicals we use everyday. In this activity, the audience will test homemade cleaners, learn how to read hazard labels, and participate in commercials with environmentally friendly themes. A take-home inventory is printed in the brochure so participants have a tool to help them eliminate potentially hazardous products they use within their homes.
[Explanatory note on the "Fall webinar series" that will teach participants how to use the skit in their own community. The Fall webinar series also will gather Traditional Indigenous Knowledge from participants that will be integrated into a modified "Detox Your Domicile" script that will be tailored for tribal communities.]
This presentation was delivered as part of the Tribal Lands and Environment Forum in August 2022.
