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
Did you know that of the 80,000 synthetic chemicals introduced into the market since the Toxic Substance Control Act was passed in 1976, the EPA has required testing on LESS than 10%? How is that even allowed? I mean, we know that scientists have linked exposure to toxic chemicals to A LOT of health risks; Cancer, Alzheimer’s, learning disabilities, asthma, birth defects, and some reproductive problems.
I’ll be honest, before I had kids, I wasn’t all that concerned with chemicals I exposed myself to or ingested. I just wasn’t. But now I have a seven year old and a nine year old that depend on me. They don’t buy the food; they don’t buy the cleaning supplies. So…because of my children, I am becoming more and more aware of the chemicals we are exposing ourselves to and in my research I have found that the chemicals that are allowed in the United States are not allowed in other countries. That’s messed up.
