“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Seventh Generation. I received a promotional item and product samples as a thank you for participating #MC ”
I’m a neat freak. In case you didn’t know I’m a little OCD about cleanliness and growing up my sister would jokingly call me “Miss Cleany”. Keeping my home clean and germ free is on the top of my list of priorities these days. With Connor in school around all sorts of germs and kids he picks up a lot of nasty stuff. He is also constantly putting his hands in his mouth, which drives me NUTS! I do the best I can to make our home a clean and germ free environment, but I also want it to be non-toxic. I don’t want my baby breathing in things I know nothing about. It seems like everyone around me has cancer these days. It’s sad, but true. We don’t know what truly causes it….but we can do things to help stay healthy. Driving home from work in the summer I always see the “Ozone level orange limit outdoor activity” alert on the freeway. I know living in a metro area we don’t have the cleanest air either.
So what can I do? I can do the best I can to make the environment we live in clean and non-toxic. That’s why I’m so excited about the Toxin-Freedom Fighters! With the help of Seventh Generation products I’m keeping my home clean and don’t have to worry about what crazy chemicals we are breathing in because the plant-based products are all natural, without all the icky stuff.
Did you know than 80,000 chemicals available in the United States have never been fully tested for their toxic effects on our health and environment. Scientists have linked exposure to toxic chemicals to many health risks, such as Cancer, Alzheimer’s, learning disabilities, asthma, birth defects, and various reproductive problems. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was passed in 1976, and unlike other major environmental laws, has never been updated. As it currently stands, tens of thousands of potentially harmful chemicals continue to be used in the marketplace since the 1970’s without proper testing and without disclosure by the companies that produce them.
You can become a Toxin Freedom Fighter by signing Seventh Generation’s petition to urge Congress to reevaluate the Toxic Substances Control Act for the first time since 1976.
Help Seventh Generation reach its goal of collecting 100,000 Signatures by April 24th by signing the petition for chemical reform and urging your friends and family to do the same!
