Replacing toxic products with safer alternatives

Protect, Preserve, Enhance: Inside Washington's Department of Ecology

The vast majority of chemicals that seep into our bodies and our environment come not from factories or treatment facilities, but from the very products and services we buy and use every day.
Things like furniture, flooring, cookware, children's toys, and lights, or where you get your laundry cleaned or your car worked on. It's these products and services that often lead to massive amounts of contamination in the environment, which is why Ecology created the Product Replacement Program.
PRP coordinator Sean Smith talks about the history and successes of the program, as well as plans to expand it in the coming years.
