Ways You Can Raise Radon Awareness in Your Community
Ways You Can Raise Radon Awareness in Your Community
You've just realized the effects of radon gas exposure and you want to spread the word, that's awesome! But where should you start?
Well, is there a committee that already works on such marketing efforts? What about cancer awareness programs? Try to get involved! Many people don't understand how radon is linked to lung cancer, and you could be the person to make this better understood!
Write letters to the businesses that sell radon resources. Let them know you want to help spread the word. They just might have more financial resources and access to ways to spread the news about radon. You may be a great local advocate.
One town used a banner in a heavy-traffic area to encourage radon testing. The banner was then put in another area of town a few weeks later. The town found through some analysis of questionnaires, that over the span of January to March, people requested more than four hundred (400) radon test kits! People have credited the banners even after the banners were taken down!
Speak with a local newspaper about having an article written about how you learned about radon and how you had your home tested. This could really become a great human interest, local, or health story.
Of course, there's always word of mouth! Buy a bumper sticker for your car. Write about it on a blog, on your social media pages, and send out emails to your friends. Be sure to let people know what you've learned. If anything, you'll be more than satisfied to know you helped those closest to you.
