Each Earth Day, we like to take a moment to celebrate and reflect on the amazing work being done across the nation to curtail the impact toxic chemicals have on our natural world. This year, COVID-19 has changed the landscape of our work, as everyone has turned their attention to the most pressing threat. Despite that, 2020 was on track to be a banner year for state leadership in the policy realm, with more than 234 policies being introduced in 33 states.
To honor Earth Day while we’re all sheltering in place, our partners at Safer Chemicals Healthy Families put together a list of 10 amazing films that explore the realm of toxic chemicals, and what people just like you are doing to make the world a healthier place. Toxic chemicals are linked to a host of environmental and health impacts, and recently scientists are saying that exposure to toxic chemicals can put people at increased risk of dying from COVID-19. So what better time to learn a little more about these pervasive threats and how we can fight against them?
Here’s the link of our top 10 picks for documentary films that will make you learn, laugh, and get inspired this Earth Day.
