As a Mother of 7 I have increasingly become more aware of everything that effects me an my children. I personally went though these phases.
- I’m young, a new mother, out of the house and enjoyed convenience… a certain freedom of I can do and get what I want. I bought prepackaged food like Poptarts, and chewy bars thinking ” I am giving my kids a fun treat”
- Then a few years ago, there was a lot of media coverage with chemicals on and in food, foreign objects in fast food, treated meat, lead on outlet wires, even chemicals on our coffee lids that leaks when they got hot. I kinda went extreme…. no fast food, no imported food, farmers markets, only organic everything…. I even bought and raised my own chickens.
- Now in present time, I am smarter, I have found a good balance, I look at labels, I still try to eat local and organic as much as possible but I am not going to let it scare me…. I’m going to do something about it!!!!
We should not have to run and hide or worry about what are children are touching and putting in their mouth. We as a united front need to demand that our world is a safe place for all. Did you know that things we would never imagine have untested chemicals in them…… untested!!!!!! Things like cups, our bed sheets, carpet, clothing, laundry soap. We have no idea of the effects these un-natural chemicals may have. I think many forget that our skin is our largest organ and that everything our skin comes in contact with can have a reaction.
We all wonder why there is such an increase in Cancer, birth defects, Alzheimer’s, learning disabilities, asthma, and various reproductive problems, it is proven that chemical toxins from everything around us have a huge part to play.
“85,000 synthetic chemicals introduced into the market since the Toxic Substances Control Act was passed in 1976,the EPA has required testing on less than 10%”
One way you can start TODAY to clear toxins from your own home is to use Seventh Generation products. They vow to ONLY use all natural ingredients and material for the air, surfaces, fabrics, pets and people within your home, this includes household and cleaning products, like dish soap, laundry detergent, diapers, wipes and even toilet paper.
I am encouraging you to help today by signing and sharing this fighttoxins.com petition. If we take the right steps, our children will all live a cleaner, and toxin-free life. Seventh Generation is working hard for us on a reform on TSCA which would have all of these chemicals studied and evaluated ,and taking these concerns to congress…. if we get 100,000 signatures before April 30th 2014. The signatures will strengthen the movement behind chemical reform, and will encourage decision-makers to change the necessary laws.
Please Join in this movement!!!! fighttoxins.com
