Learning Lessons From Flint

Leer en español By Alexis Limberakis, Senior Director, Environmental Sustainability, The Clorox Company The recent stories from Flint, Michigan, involving the water supply and our nation’s aging infrastructure are bringing the issue of safe water and the related human toll closer to home. We’ve gotten a glimpse at what life is like without safe water at the end of a tap — something Americans typically take for granted but is an everyday reality for one in 10 people around the world.[1] This year’s World Water Day marks the five-year anniversary of my very first visit to Peru, when we were taking…

This is our eighth year to partner with the Visiting Nurse Associations of America and Families Fighting Flu to help educate families on the importance of flu vaccinations and other prevention tips.
