Summary:
"All across North America, people are using the film Living Downstream to create change in their communities. And you can too. Use the ideas in this guide to raise awareness about the links between toxic chemicals and cancer incidence, to encourage public involvement in prevention of environmental contamination, and to brainstorm ways to take action to improve your community's environmental health. A supplement to the Living Downstream Educational DVD, this guide supports the creative use of the film by organizations, community groups, activists, and other professionals. Its contents have been designed for easy customization according to your group's mandate, goals, and expertise. The tools within will help you encourage others to think differently about environmental health. They will help you move people beyond questions about preventing personal exposures to realizing that true prevention requires public efforts to stop the manufacture of toxic chemicals"--Page xiii.
