“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Millennial Central for Seventh Generation. I received a promotional item and product samples as a thank you for participating”.
When I was pregnant with my daughter Hannah who is now almost 10 I was involved with a health & wellness home business opportunity where I learned about all the bad chemicals and toxins that were in many of the products that I was buying regularly in my home. I threw away all those yucky cleaners and vowed to never buy anything with harmful chemicals and bad toxins again.
Will you believe my mom and my mother-in-law both have brought cleaning chemicals with bleach over to my house because they realized I didn’t have any good products to clean with. I had to let them know that I hate the smell of bleach and never buy those kind of products. I won’t buy any chemical with warnings for directions for contacting poison control. I buy products that are safe for the environment and safe for my family to use, like products from Seventh Generation. I remember trying their products for the first time when you could only buy them online. I was so happy when they started selling the Seventh Generation products at Target.
Did you know this…
This is one of the reasons that I don’t use those toxic chemicals in my house. Here are some facts that I want to share just in case you didn’t know…
- More 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.
Stand up for safer chemicals and become a Toxin Freedom Fighter! 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. The original goal of 100,000 has been reached but the more signatures, the better impact the petition will have on Congress!
I have teamed up with Seventh Generation as a Toxin Freedom Fighter and made sure that I signed the petition…
Are you going to sign the petition?
Follow the Action Against Toxins chat by following the hashtag #FightToxins on Twitter.
If 80,000 haven’t been tested I wonder how many it is have been tested!
I am definitely signing the petition. That is crazy
I signed it when it was still below 100,000… so glad they have surpassed their goal!
I am so happy that more people are becoming aware of the fact that chemical cleaners do more harm than good. I love seventh generation
It is scary how many chemicals and toxins are in products we use everyday. This sounds like a company you can feel good about your family using.
