"A SUSTAINABLE GUIDE TO SPRING CLEANING

Don't throw away old clothes! DONATE, UP-CYCLE, REPURPOSE!
Clothes and cloth pile up in landfills. If donated, clothes can serve purpose to people who may need it!

Use NATURAL CLEANERS!
HARMFUL CHEMICALS found in household cleaners RUN OFF into water reserves. Causing issues of WATER POLLUTION.
Some eco-friendly cleaning brands include: Grove Collaborative, Thrive Market, Common Good, and ECOS.

REUSE GLASS JARS!
Food expired? REUSE its CONTAINER! Glass food containers can be used to store other foods, beverages or even serve to be a good planter to a spring house plant!

As Spring approaches, MINIMIZE WASTE, and be CONSCIOUS of what you are getting rid of!"

WHAT ARE PFAS?

PFAS are a group of synthetic organofluorine compounds. Despite the high diversity of this group, they all have something alike in that they contain perfluroalkyl moieites, which is important to note because Carbon-Flourine bonds are one of the STRONGEST, if not the strongest, type of bond in organic chemistry. This makes these EXTREMELY RESISTANT to environmental and metabolic degradation, hence the term “FOREVER CHEMICAL”.

Like most chemicals, PFAS have the potential of producing a wide range of ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS on humans, including hepatic, cardiovascular, immune, and developmental impacts. The MOST COMMON routes of exposure for adults is through drinking water and diet. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found PFAS IN THE BLOOD OF 97% OF AMERICANS.

Reversing PFAS contamination will be TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING, ENERGY INTENSIVE, AND COSTLY FOR SOCIETY, as is evident in the efforts to remove PFAS from contaminated land and drinking water sources. You can AVOID PFAS by not purchasing products that include them, ADVOCATE for quality production, and DECREASE POLLUTION that spreads PFAS into our environment.

Hey!! My name is Lauryn and I am from San Diego, Ca. I attend Alabama State University and I’m majoring in Psychology. I’ve always been an outdoor girl due to living down the street from the beach, so the environment has always been very important to me.

NESTLE, THE WORLD'S TOP PRODUCER OF BOTTLED WATER, IS EXPLOITING CENTRAL FLORIDA'S DELICATE AND HISTORIC LAND! Florida's freshwater springs are direct links to the Florida aquifer, the main source of fresh drinking water to several southeastern US states. The Florida state water board granted approval for Nestle to pump FOUR MILLION GALLONS of fresh water PER DAY from 5 freshwater spring systems. Nestle, who has a HISTORY OF UNETHICAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES, has taken over residential land around the freshwater springs for production. Pumping the springs strips Florida's population of recreation and beauty. Habitats critical to TURTLES, MANATEES, AND BIRDS are being dangerously affected by pollution, erosion, and decreased water flow, all a DIRECT RESULT OF PUMPING.
