ECO baby + kids

This presentation is over the findings of Environmental Working Group’s Body Burden 2 - The Pollution in Newborns it is a real eye opener and if you have children, are pregnant, trying, or even thinking of conceving a child it is a must see. The study came out as I was beginning my journey into autism and played a big part of my beginning to realize the toxic soup in which I was living. What disturbs me the most now is that I once thought that if a product was on the market it was safe and just last night I had someone who showed me their polycarbonate (BPA) plastic bottle and recounted the conversation he recenly had with the distributor who said “the product would not be available to sell if it were not safe”. I know now that I have to extensively research everything I use and everything we sell, but not everyone is there yet. As for adults, I am not so concerned, but babies have no choice in the matter. Saving the environment for me is little more than protecting the human race because let’s face it the Earth has the potential to long outlive us. However, for us to survive it is crucial for us to learn to live with and protect nature and stop poisoning ourselves. Environmental Working Group has gone on to present theKid-Safe Chemicals Act which will reform the Toxic Substances Control act that has not been updated since 1976. We can all make a difference by spreading the information as it becomes available so that people can make truly informed choices and if you want to take it a step futher and join Environmental Working Groups push for reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act sign the delcaration.
