My name is Reagen, and I’m a Women’s Voices for the Earth Actionista
We all have personal reasons for being part of Women's Voices for the Earth. Here is Reagen's story...
Did you know?
Over the last two decades, breast cancer rates have risen from a risk of 1 in 20 to 1 in 8.
Toxic chemicals from beauty products & cleaners are often detected in breastmilk.
80% of patients diagnosed with autoimmune diseases are women.
Women’s Voices for the Earth amplifies women’s voices
to eliminate the toxic chemicals that harm our health and communities.
We envision a world where the earth is taken care of, workers are paid well and treated fairly,
and there are no toxic chemicals in our homes, our communities or our environment.
You can make this vision a reality…

In fact, using antibacterial cleaners has never been proven to be more effective at reducing illness in the home than plain old soap and water. Meanwhile the harm chemicals like quats are doing to our health and the environment is real. LEARN MORE!
