Adventures in Sustainable Living PodcastEpisode 195How to Live Healthy in a Chemical WorldWorking as a practicing veterinarian I commonly have to deal with infectious diseases. For the most part it is something benign. Occasionally I have to deal with things that are potentially of great concern for human health. One such disease is the Bubonic Plague. It is endemic in the prairie dog population in Colorado. Every now and then people get excited about it then the concern fades away. But, it is always there. From my perspective there are so many other things in our world that pose a great threat yet we completely ignore it. One such thing is chemical pollution. I start to question whether it is possible to live healthy in a chemical world. So join me for episode 195 How to Live Healthy in a Chemical World. 

On this months episode of Chemical World, Kenna and Maggie discus new Narcan laws, where to get free supplies, including High Rockies Harm Reduction's service schedule and new support groups, and the importance of peer support and community in battling depression and anxiety.
