Action for Genomic Integrity through Research! (AGiR!)

one page summary - break bad habits for health

AGiR! hopes this kind of poster, flyer, or handout will be considered useful to present the issue of protecting genomic integrity more broadly!

Learn more about what is meant by that, by exploring the site and related links more closely.

There are too many ingredients of concern to go out after them one by one at the production level. While supporting groups that target various substances and encouraging producers to find alternatives to potentially genotoxic compounds, AGiR! believes creating more general awareness will help people to at least avoid some of the worst dangers personally.

In the end, this is sure to help everyone.

'Knowing the 'why' is what moves people to action' has become our new catch-phrase.

Disruption to genomic integrity affecting our health and that of future generations is what environmental, occupational, or 'personal choice' exposures to the many things that damage DNA or interact with nucleic acids can cause. Knowing that even quite common and fairly simple chemicals can be mutagenic is likely to provide people incentive to act and change their habits and behaviour.

Why, do you think, does a 'smoking kills' label on a package have virtually no impact?

In the hopes that a 'flyer campaign' will indeed fly, here are some of the different translations done so far! AGiR! is a local association, but its actions are global! Join us!

Ideally, we will also ultimately inspire producers of commercial goods to stop putting so many compounds of concern into our environment!

Let us know if you would like to participate in the flyer campaign, please!

A last but not least version the 15th language for this summary, is now ready!

Thanks to DJ for helping with this Polish version!

(Maybe not so surprisingly, the old website was too full to get it in this page!

Another good reason to push forward with the planned website updates!)

Before the 6th Anniversary of the founding of AGiR! (16sept19) and the start of efforts to spread the word during the upcoming 7th year, there were two more languages for the flyer (thanks also to Regeg G, in addition to the 3 people mentioned just below): Indonesian and Marathi!

Marathi

After another pause - that so quickly brought this public service association almost to its 6th year! - in these translation efforts, here is yet another language for the old flyer (and expect more to come soon!): MALAY

(Great thanks to new friends in Singapore, Kelly Z, Fadzli F and Syafiqah S!)
