Nokomis Healthy Seniors - workshops and in-home visits to senior citizens to reduce junk mail and hazardous household products
What did they do?
Nokomis Healthy Seniors wanted to help senior citizens get off junk mail lists and learn about proper storage, disposal, and alternatives to hazardous household materials. They sponsored workshops for seniors about junk mail and label reading. They offered in-home visits to frail seniors to get off junk mail lists and do an inventory of hazardous household materials.
What can you do?
