“At the invitation of the EcoWaste Coalition, Dr. Ann Blake, a member of the Green Ribbon Science Panel of California’s Environmental Protection Agency, will talk about ‘Women, Cosmetics and Toxic Chemicals’ at events slated in Muntinlupa City and Cebu City on March 13 and 16, respectively.
“The forum in Muntinlupa will be jointly convened by the Food and Drug Administration and the EcoWaste Coalition, while that in Cebu will be led by the Office of Councilor Nida Cabrera (Chair of Cebu City Council’s Committee on the Environment), the Philippine Earth Justice Center and the EcoWaste Coalition.
“Both events will bring to light major chemicals of concern in cosmetics and why consumers, industry and regulatory bodies alike should be concerned.” -EcoWaste Coalition
