Green for a Reason with Catherine O’Toole

From the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin –

After a very serious cancer diagnosis, Catherine investigated who got cancer and why. It was during that research she came across the toxic chemicals that are in the everyday products used to build, furnish and decorate our homes. Catherine’s mission is to educate the public on how home furnishings and building products contribute to serious health issues such as cancer, infertility, and asthma (to name a few). Along with bringing awareness of the toxic chemicals in products, Catherine will present easy tips and alternative options to create a healthier home.

Catherine hails from Ireland and before starting Green For A Reason, she had a 10-year career in the fashion industry in New York City. She is a believer in, “do what you love, and everything else will fall into place.” In her 30s, Catherine left corporate America and backpacked around the world by herself for three years. While traveling she met a Texas “Prince Charming.”
