THE POLLUTION IN NEWBORNS

From Environmental Working Group:

"The human race is now polluted with hundreds of industrial chemicals with little or no understanding of the consequences. Babies are born pre-polluted with as many as 300 industrial chemicals in their bodies when they enter the world. Testing by Environmental Working Group has identified 455 chemicals in people, and again, no one has any idea if these exposures are safe."

Join one of the most important environmental campaigns in history. Help the EWG win this battle in the war against toxic chemicals. The Kid Safe Chemicals Act would fix this problem by:

  • Requiring companies to prove that their chemicals are safe for infants and children before products to on the market
  • Making all health and safety data public
  • Banning chemicals when manufacturers do not provide safety studies
  • Promoting green, safer chemicals in consumer products
Do you get it? It seems to me that global warming isn't going to matter -- our species won't be able to reproduce in a few generations. Visit EWG and see what you think.
