You are a Climate Nerd!

Like Lisa Moore, EDF’s climate nerd, you read all you can about global warming – the facts, the political debates and the effects our planet and ecosystems have already endured because of it. You turn off the lights when you leave a room, unplug electronics that aren’t in use and you’ve replaced all the lightbulbs in your home with energy efficient bulbs.

Like Jennifer McPartland, EDF’s health nerd, you want to be sure that the products you bring into your home are non-toxic. It infuriates you that chemicals to which we and our environment are exposed can enter the marketplace without first having been found to be safe.
