Million Baby Crawl with Seventh Generation *Giveaway*
October 27th, 2009 | 
Seventh Generation has created the Million Baby Crawl to help educate parents to use their voice in reforming the toxical chemical policies.
As I read more about the Enviromental Protection Agency’s policy on testing toxic chemicals used in household products, I found it scary to know that only 200 of over 80,000 chemicals are required to undergo safety testing.
By joining the Million Baby Crawl, you are helping stand up for your child and future children’s safety. The Toxic Chemical Reform Act will help make laws stricter in forcing more chemicals to be tested and gain more knowledge of what’s REALLY being put into the products we purchase in the store.
Did you know that…
Ø In the 33 years since Congress passed that nation’s chemical regulatory law, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TCSA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has required testing on just 200 of the more than 80,000 chemical compounds developed for products used in the home.
Ø Under the current law, the EPA does not have the authority to demand the information it needs to evaluate a chemical’s risk, and neither manufacturers nor the EPA are required to prove a chemical’s safety as a condition of use.
Ø 1.25 million kids younger than six are unintentionally poisoned in the home each year by things like cosmetics and personal care products, cleaning substances, pain relievers and cough and cold medicines (American Association of Poison Control Centers)
Ø Studies show that nearly 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants have been found in the umbilical cord blood of newborns (Environmental Working Group).
