This Week at the Capitol: Talking Toxics, with Sarah Uhl

We spoke with Sarah Uhl, the Environmental Health Coordinator for the Connecticut Chapter of Clean Water Action, the national group that helped pass the federal Clean Water Act.

In Connecticut, Clean Water Action focuses primarily on energy and toxics, and as part of her role, Sarah coordinates the Coalition for A Safe and Healthy Connecticut.

We talked with Sarah about what her work entails and about two big accomplishments for the legislative session that just ended --- a bill to create a Chemical Innovations Institute to research safer alternatives to the toxic chemicals we use everyday, and a bill that bans cadmium in children’s jewelry.

Listen to the conversation.
