Week 38 Entries

Congratulations go to Jonathan Boring (uplifting cnc) for his furniture varnish can with full marks for a funny quip, great irony, and strong social media impact. Like most Californians, the Howard furniture varnish company has not taken the Prop65 warning seriously and found a creative way of letting its customers know that they should disregard the warning.

Creating healthy communities together? It’s a journey, alright! A journey to find food that doesn’t cause cancer in the state of California. So cancer-causing products are healthy now? Shopping at a “healthier option store” doesn’t mean your avoiding cancer causing food. When we walked into this store the first sign was the prop 65 warning, then monitors with positive messages regarding their healthy selections. @californiapolicy #prop65contest #cancerawareness #cancer #cancerous #warningsigns #food #healthyfood #healthyeating #nongmo #gmo #foodismedicine #eatclean
