Slow_Death_By_Rubber_Duck_250Please join us for a virtual book club Webinar, featuring the “fascinating and frightening,” “cheeky” and “hard-hitting” new book, Slow Death By Rubber Duck. It's on Tuesday, April 6 at 5 p.m. Pacific/8 p.m. Eastern. Rick Smith, author and Executive Director of Environmental Defence Canada, will read from Slow Death By Rubber Duck, and we’ll discuss toxic chemicals found in products as common as hand soap and what you can do to protect your family and the planet.

Studies show that harmful toxic chemicals are common in household items, including rubber ducks and bubble bath, and that many of these chemicals are also found inside of our bodies. Over a four-day period, Slow Death By Rubber Duck authors Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie used every day household products suspected of causing harm to our ecosystem and to human health. By revealing the pollution load in their bodies before and after the experiment, Rick and Bruce tell a unique inside story of common toxins and body burden.

All you need to join is a phone, a computer with Internet access and an interest in making the world less toxic. Simply RSVP online, and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics will e-mail you the call-in info and the Web address so you can see the slides during the reading and discussion.

Can't make the Webinar on April 6? No worries - the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is going to record it and make it available through a link on its Web site later on. You could even play the Webinar at your own in-person book club event!
 Thank you for your interest and for spreading the word!
