STOP THE IDIOT CYCLE!
LEVEL TWO - "I WANT TO DO MORE!"
#1 - ORGANIZE A SCREENING.
We will provide a one-time screening license per university to show 'The Idiot Cycle' on their campus for enrolled students and staff for free.
Contact JPS Films if you are interested.
#2 - AVOID BLEACHED PRODUCTS AND PVC PLASTICS - AND CANCER CAUSING DIOXINS.
Use unbleached, recycled paper, napkins, coffee filters, toilet paper...
If you use bleached paper products, they most likely used chlorine in the process and emitted dioxins. Avoid PVC plastics (they are usually labeled V or #3 plastic).
Avoid Saran Wrap. Use ceraminic containers to store food.
Avoid restaurants that only serve plastic cutlery, cups and plates. They could be using this "instead."
#3 - HAVE A DOCTOR IN THE FAMILY?
Positive transformations happening in hospitals.
Get your local hospital or clinic involved.
#4 - HAVE A TEACHER IN THE FAMILY?
Toxic-free school ideas and initiatives.
#5 - DON'T FORGET TO LAUGH.
#6 - RETURN TO SENDER.
Take a label from a product, highlight the carcinogen on the ingredients label, send back to the company.
Watch the crap pile up at their doorstep.
Here's a very short and incomplete list of KNOWN carcinogens, as researched by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
