Seventh Generation and Safer Chemicals recently teamed up to raise awareness of the amazing amount of chemicals found in our everyday lives, and they’ve enlisted one million toxic babies to help spread the word. Well, sort of.
The Million Baby Crawl is a new online petition campaign with a twist. Let the folks in Washington as well as all of your friends know how outraged you are by facts like these:
*Since 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has required safety testing on only 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market. Studies conducted by EWG have detected up to 287 industrial chemicals in umbilical cord blood that nourishes unborn children.
Create your own crawler, let your friends know and get a chance at a trip to Washington DC to make your voice heard!
