Be the Voice of Change *Giveaway*

October 20, 2009 by Caryn 

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by! The winner is Lisa, congrats!

Every time I purchase a product, I read the labels.  Whether it’s food or shampoo or diapers…I want to know what chemicals my family is being exposed to.  I think sometimes I drive my husband a bit crazy.  But if I’m going to spend the money on something AND use it either in or on our bodies, I want it to be safe.  One of the companies who’s products I use and have been very impressed with is Seventh Generation.  We use their cleaning products, my son wears their diapers (because everything else gives him a rash), and I use their feminine hygiene products (um, when I’m not pregnant!).

millionbabycrawlI’m constantly amazed by this company who is now fighting to make our nation’s chemical law (which is outdated) stricter so that our children grow up in a safe world.   Million Baby Crawl (sponsored by Seventh Generation,in partnership with Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families) is an initiative “to help educate and empower parents to raise their voices for stronger standards on toxic chemicals.” The goal of this campaign is to present the Kids Safe Chemical Act to Washington and if passed, would require that chemical manufacturers conduct safety testing before a chemical is used in products.

You might be interested in the following facts:

  • In the 33 years since Congress passed that nation’s chemical regulatory law, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TCSA), the Environmental Protection Agency has required testing on just 200 of the more than 80,000 chemical compounds developed for products used in the home.
  • 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.
  • 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)
  • Studies show that nearly 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants have been found in the umbilical cord blood of newborns (EWG).


I’ve already created my “crawler” on the site.  Will you join me?

Win It! One of you will win a Seventh Generation starter kit to help you get rid of the toxic chemicals in your home.  Simply leave me a comment with something you learned on Million Baby Crawl.  Comments will close on November 4, 2009 at 10 PM PST.  One comment per person, please (unless you do the extra credit).

    In a nutshell, I learned some really sobering things, like the overwhelming majority of products that are on the market aren’t even tested. Many of them are filled with toxic chemicals that are bad for our babies and families.

    yeah, one thing I definitely need to be more aware of is all these chemicals floating around in these cleaning products. I’ve seen the 7th generation stuff in whole foods but I never buy it because my impression of “green” cleaning supplies is that they never work, or they work only sorta. If you say the work just as well as the other stuff then I’ll give it a try. I’ve never read a blog post where anybody has mentioned 7Gen stuff. Cool that you did.

We need a stronger chemical law to keep our families safe and healthy

    The EPA requires testing on only 200 of the over 80,000 chemicals which leads me to ask what the???
    155 Lisa on November 4th, 2009 4:25 pm
    One of the things a reformed Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) should include is the requirement that companies that make & use chemicals should be required to provide full information on the impact of all their chemicals on health and the environment.

    I learned from the “Email to Congress” page, that peer reviewed studies show that reforming the nation’s chemical laws will result in annual savings of $14 billion in health care costs. These savings would come from a decline in chronic diseases including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma and learning disabilities.

    Thanks for the giveaway…There is a link provided on the website to: http://www.saferchemicals.org/join/get_involved.html …so that you can email your Congressperson and voice your concern that it’s time to create common sense limits on toxic chemicals.
