EcoThrive! Environmental Risk Reduction and Educational Resources:

Providing survivors with resources and accurate, helpful information for reducing the environmental risks of breast cancer, and living a healthier lifestyle.

Through our community partnerships with local CSA's, and community educators, You Can Thrive! is supporting our sisters and their families in effective lifestyle changes. We provide the educational information needed for survivors to become effective at reducing their environmental risks while developing a tailored long-term survivorship plan.

We believe it is important for people diagnosed with breast cancer to understand and receive pertinent, accurate and evidence based information on strategies for reducing toxins and pollutants, eating locally and organically and adapting new practices in order improve their outcomes and assure a healthier lives for themselves and their families. Through our partnerships with Community Supported Agriculture, we can offer FREE organic, locally grown vegetables, recipes and special cooking classes to assure that survivors have the resources to THRIVE, even when there may not be knowledge or access to these resources in their neighborhoods.

Thanks for this week go to the Chelsea CSA agriculture program which donated our veggies!

Since New York has the second highest rate of breast cancer, right behind Connecticut, and the United States has the highest rate in the world, it stands to reason that NYC area has the highest concentration of breast cancer survivors in the world. Reducing our environmental risks can help survivors lead healthier, longer lives.
