A group of Marin County, CA teens have come together in an effort to promote the use of safe cosmetics and sustainability in all lifestyle choices. Teens Turning Green is a national coalition of passionate and powerful teens educating others about safe and healthy choices in daily lives, schools and communities, advocating for policy change to protect health, and working collaboratively to inspire action and promote change that will sustain our Earth.
Their new program, Project Green Prom, is a nationwide effort to promote green, healthy alternatives to every aspect of the high school rite of passage - from dresses and tuxedos to decorations and transportation. Project Green Prom volunteers encourage shoppers to reject dresses made with synthetic fibers in favor of those fashioned from raw materials, using natural dyes and chemical-free production under humane working conditions. They also work to help teens make educated decisions about personal care products. The group has even partnered with Whole Foods Market to create and market their own line of safe, sustainable cosmetics and personal care products.
