Toxin Freedom Fighters - how you can help!

This post is sponsored by Seventh Generation, all opinions are my own.

I have a three year old. Keeping him healthy and safe is so important to me. I know that I can only do so much, I can only do what I know to do. I want to have the knowledge to do my utmost to keep A healthy ~ but to do that I have to do know what I can do...

One of the things that I wasn't aware of is that there are so many chemical out there - chemicals we use on toys, sheets, kitchen counters, dishes and more....There are 85,000 synthetic chemicals that have been introduced into the market since the Toxic Substances Control Act was passed in 1976. The EPA has required testing on less than 10% of those chemicals. Let me repeat that - Only 10% have even been tested! How can we feel comfortable using these chemicals on things our kids put in their mouths, when we don't have a clue what the chemical do?

Did you know there were so many chemicals out there? I found things under my sink that I'm not sure sure of now - how do you feel about what's in your house? Any new concerns? Feel like you want to share this with others now? I do!

It's not that we know these chemicals are bad, we don't know! But Seventh Generation is working to help. They want to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act - and YOU can help. Seventh generation has worked for 25 years towards creating healthy home by delivering plant derived products using bio-based ingredients - and they want to make sure you and your kids are safe in your home.

To that aim, they started the The Toxin Freedom Fighters Campaign - help them collect 100,000 signatures to strengthen the movement behind chemical reform, and to encourage decision-makers

to change the necessary laws. If they collect enough signatures, they will deliver them to Congress on April 30, 2014. There IS hope for a change - and you can help create that change! It's as easy as visiting www.fighttoxins.com to sign the petition. We can do this together - to offer out children a world where we all live a cleaner life!
