Skin Deep
Details: In honor of Chapter 10: Environmental Health & Toxicology, today we will be utilizing a site called “Skin Deep” (Links to an external site.), hosted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG (Links to an external site.)). I hope you will be inspired by the work of the Story of Stuff Project (Links to an external site.), and their video on cosmetics.
Please follow/respond to the following prompts,
1. Explore the Skin Deep site, and the “about” page for EWG (who are they?).
2 Find one of the consumer products you use in their list of scored products (notice all of the options). Share with me the score it has earned (include a screen shot).
3. What does that score mean?
4. Find an alternative product to the one that you use, one with a better score (include a screen shot here as well).
5. Why is it better?
6 Explore one other area on the site – perhaps pesticides in food (at the bottom of the screen), and tell me one additional item that you learned from the site.
