With every passing year, we have more  access and awareness to living a less toxic life. In the real world, are we truly putting this in to action?  Muhannad Malas, the toxics program manager at Environmental Defence speaks his truth on wether or not Canada is doing its due diligence in regards to toxics reform.    Public awareness and accurate information sources are a great way for all of us to take control of how we touch and ingest things.  Did you know that even though a ban on a toxic substance is in place, it doesn't ensure the offending substance is out of circulation?   Marie now realizes that reading a few articles or watching a few environmental films doesn’t make you a specialist. Marie admits she has deep faults when it comes to living a less toxic life, is warped in her selective choices, and has been quick to judge others on their toxic lifestyles. Muhannad shares his top pet peeve when it comes to educating the general public regarding toxic trends, and how to approach toxic exposure reduction in a more intelligent way.   Follow Munhannad Malas here: Twitter: @mmalas Facebook: Muhannad Malas   Follow Environmental Defence here:  www.environmentaldefense.ca Facebook: @EnvironmentalDefenceCanada   Follow the World Health Organizarion here: www.who.int/   Films to consider:   A Plastic Ocean: https://www.plasticoceans.org/film/   River Blue Film: riverbluethemovie.eco/the-film/
