Race for Maggie's Place

2009-11-08T22:08:00.000-07:00

I feel a GREAT week ahead. Started my morning early at Tempe Towne Lake. I joined other family and friends at a Race for Maggie’s Place. Amon Maternity sponsored the event and it was a great family atmosphere. It made everyone feel good. People were cheering and talking. Everyone was happy to support a great cause and enjoy the awesome Arizona morning.

Next year I will defiantly bring the whole family. We received cute dry-fit t-shirts and lots of goodies and snacks. It always makes you feel good to support a deserving cause and have fun doing it. You can learn more at maggiesplace.org or amonmaternity.com. Congrats Kristi for finishing the 9K in 1 hour!

A reformed Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) would serve as the backbone of a sound and comprehensive chemicals policy that protects public health and the environment, while restoring the luster of safety to U.S. goods in the world market. Any effective reform of TSCA should:

Take immediate action on the most dangerous chemicals

Current laws aren't protecting us from chemicals that are building up in our bodies and threatening our health. These persistent, bioaccumulative toxic chemicals should be phased out of commerce. Our exposure to other toxic chemicals that we know can cause serious health problems, should be reduced. Green chemistry research should be expanded, and safer chemicals favored over those with known health hazards.

Hold industry responsible for the safety of their chemicals and products

Due to serious limitations of the current law, very little is known about the vast majority of the tens of thousands of chemicals produced and used in the US. Over the past three decades, the EPA has required testing on just 200 existing chemicals and restricted only five. Companies that make and use chemicals should be required to provide full information on the impact of all their chemicals on health and the environment. The public, workers, and businesses should have access to information about the safety of chemicals.

Use the best science to protect all people and vulnerable groups

Chemicals should meet a standard of safety for all people, including children, pregnant women, and workers. The extra burden of toxic chemical exposure on people of color, low-income, and indigenous communities must be reduced and more studies must be done to detect which chemicals are present in our bodies.

Dangerous Chemicals -Green Cleaning Products -TSCA -Toxic Chemicals Seventh Generation

Help us say "NO!" to toxic chemicals found in our homes. Join our virtual Million Baby Crawl and demand toxic chemical policy reform from Congress.

At Seventh Generation, we’ve always helped you protect planet home by formulating safe and effective products and by disclosing ingredients on our labels. But toxic chemicals still lurk in our homes, in many of the products we use every day. Since 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has required safety testing on only 200 of more than 80,000 chemicals on the market. We need a stronger law to keep our families safe and healthy.

Join the Million Baby Crawl and help Seventh Generation demand that Congress update regulation of toxic chemicals. Every voice counts, so please create a crawler for each member of your household!
