About the book tour events:
Author and activist Stacy Malkan read from her new book:
Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry.
The book reveals the toxic truth about everyday personal care products, and offers an insider's view of the campaign to get the cosmetics industry to use safer ingredients.
Shockingly, toxic chemicals are also widely used in children's products like toys, plastic baby bottles, and baby lotions and washes. You will learn about the widespread use of toxic chemicals in children's products, why our laws are not protecting us, and the impacts these chemicals may be having on our kids.
Sponsored by People For Puget Sound, the Breast Cancer Fund, Washington Toxics Coalition, the Toxic-Free Legacy Coalition and the Grays Harbor Community Alliance.
Additional partners for these events were: Village Books in Bellingham, Uptown Nutrition in Port Townsend, and the Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle.
