Something For Nothing

Are you getting all you can from your library?

Libraries are quiet pillars of our communities that often get overlooked. And that’s unfortunate because libraries are one of the few places that you can truly get something for nothing.

On today’s show I’m outlining 7 goods and services you likely never knew you could get for free from your library.

 

Here’s a preview:

Toxic Fashion

Packaged foods (obviously) have ingredients lists. Our favorite beauty products have ingredients lists. And those cleaning products under the kitchen sink? Yup, they've got ingredients lists, too.

Ever wonder why our clothes don't have ingredients lists? While we'd *like* to think our favorite garments are made of woven fibers and nothing more, the sad truth is there are countless unregulated chemicals in our closet go-tos (and these chemicals are likely harming our health).

On today's show investigative journalist Alden Wicker explains why synthetic fashion and dyes made from fossil fuels are so deeply intertwined with the rise of autoimmune disease, infertility, asthma, eczema, and more; she also suggests concrete action steps for curating a clean(er) closet.
