Seventh Generation Toxin Freedom Fighters Stand up for Safer Chemicals

Join us and Seventh Generation in the Toxin Freedom Fighters Campaign! We have teamed up with Seventh Generation to help spread awareness about the importance of chemical reform in the United States. Please join us!

Our Goal: Collect 100,000 signatures in support of meaningful reform.

Create Change: Demand that Congress reevalute the Toxic Substances Control Act for the first time since 1976.

I’ll be honest, chemicals scare me! After reading and learning about the chemicals and toxins all around us that are going untested, I decided it was time to take a stand with Seventh Generation! Read on and you’ll find out why I am so concerned not only for my own health but my family too!

Help us address chemical reform! Did you know that more than 80,000 chemicals available in the United States have never been fully tested for their toxic effects on our health and environment? More than 80,000! Unbelievable! Scientists have even linked the exposure to toxic chemicals to many health risks, such as Cancer, Alzheimer’s, learning disabilities, asthma, birth defects, and various reproductive problems.

Unlike many other major environment laws, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) has never been updated. It was passed in 1976! That’s over 35 years without any updates or changes! As it currently stands, tens of thousands of potentially harmful chemicals continue to be used in the marketplace since the 1970’s without proper testing and without disclosure by the companies that produce them. I’m not sure about you but that scares the heck out of me! (more…)
