Barb H. asked:Do we have a graphic designer in here? I think we should create really bold fliers to hang in local businesses (starbucks, grocery stores, etc). Something along the lines of “you’re being poisoned.” Or “the air you’re breathing can kill you”. Something short and effective with StopETO.com so people know where to go to find out more. Thoughts?
