A Fight For a Toxin Free Generation
The Toxin Freedom Fighters (in their capes)
Kristi Marsh, mother of three and breast cancer survivor, as well as David Levine, American Sustainable Business Council
They presented the petition
A toxin is a poisonous substance produced within living cells or organisms; synthetic toxicants created by artificial processes are thus excluded. (from Wikipedia)
So basically Toxin = poison!
Yuck!
Can you believe people deliberately put this junk in our foods, cleaning products and products we use on our kids? most of us including me don't even pay attention to this stuff... I'm so disgusted!
Thank God there are people, parents who do pay attention and they are fighting.
A couple weeks ago, on April 30th Seventh Generation, in coalition with the Toxin
Freedom Fighters and its partners, held a press conference on Capital Hill to fight for
chemical reform, and put the cause back in to the forefront of our mind. THANK YOU!
In just a short month they've already collected over 120,000 signatures from people all over the country who are fed up with the insufficient chemical laws that currently plague our country. You also can join that signing the petition here at https://fighttoxins.com. As a matter of fact I just became the 121435th person to sign.
We don't get good news very often...
This press conference was definitely good news! This event kickoff the start of something exciting in Washington. The Toxin Freedom Fighters, gear up their capes and superhero mask to present the petition to key to Members of the Environment and Public Works Committee and other interested Senators in
hopes of stimulating chemical reform. This is a change I'd like to be a part of and so should you!
I'd like to take my hat out and offer a HUGE thank you to Seventh Generation President and CEO John Replogle; Kristi Marsh, a mother of three, breast cancer survivor, and advocate; and David Levine from the American Sustainable Business Council, for taking on such a huge fight on our behalf.
Have you guys ever heard of them?
if so did you sign the petition?
