Climate change’s threats to human health and life are growing. Will you join our latest effort to roll back climate change?
Hello, Senator? Safer Chemicals Please!
July 20, 2011
Today is an exciting day. People across the country are calling their
Senators asking them to put common sense limits on toxic chemicals. Will you join thousands of people in making a call today?
A bill addressing the shortcomings of current chemicals policy, the Safe
Chemicals Act of 2011, has been introduced in the Senate. The bill aims to
protect people from harmful chemicals by overhauling the outdated Toxic
Substances Control Act. Today we are joining with health, environmental, and
community groups across the country to ask our Senators to co-sponsor the
bill.
Will you join us today to tell the Senate that there is broad support for the
Safe Chemicals Act?
