Om arrangementet
Bert van Bavel (NIVA) har sammen med Stine Lise Hattestad Bratsberg, på frivillig basis, jobbet for FN/UNEP og Safe Planet i en årrekke. Safe Planet er et prosjekt som skal sette søkelys på bruk av skadelige kjemikalier og hvordan disse ender opp i våre kropper.
Stine har målt hvilke kjemikalier hun har i kroppen, Suzann «Tutta» Pettersen har gjort det samme, det har også Erik Solheim – og nå har Nina Jensen også gjort det på seg selv og sin sønn. Sammen har de utfordret klima- og miljøvernministeren til å gjøre det samme.
I Arendal vil resultater diskuteres, tiltak adresseres og bruken av skadelige kjemikalier i alt fra klær, emballasje, kosmetikk, mat adresseres.
