Lucas,
Is your shirt making you sick?
What about your sofa or your spatula? Are the toys your children or grandchildren play with safe?
Since our founding over four decades ago, Public Citizen has served as a leading watchdog for consumer safety.
With our latest campaign, we're partnering with the League of Conservation Voters to strengthen laws that keep toxic chemicals out of our bodies, out of everyday products we all use, and out of our homes, communities, classrooms and workplaces.
Join Public Citizen and the League of Conservation Voters in calling on the U.S. Senate to pass the Safe Chemicals Act.
There are 85,000 different chemicals on the market. The Environmental Protection Agency tests only a few hundred of them.
Asthma, diabetes, childhood cancers, infertility and learning disorders are more and more prevalent. The federal system meant to protect us from harmful chemicals hasn't changed in 35 years.
Why?
The chemical industry cares more about its profits than your family's wellbeing.
For decades, the industry has fought improved chemical safety laws. In 2011 alone, it spent $52 million lobbying Congress to block meaningful reform.
Help Public Citizen and the League of Conservation Voters petition the Senate to put health and safety before corporate profits.
Here are some of the Safe Chemicals Act's key provisions: requiring regulators to identify and restrict the most dangerous chemicals; upgrading scientific methods for evaluating chemicals; and mandating basic health and safety information for all chemicals that enter or remain on the market.
Protect yourself and your loved ones from toxic chemicals.
Sign the Safe Chemicals Act petition today.
Thank you for taking action.
Onward,
Robert Weissman
President, Public Citizen
