Okay, here is another opportunity for all of us to take action, fight for
our rights to have healthy newborns and an improved quality of life. This new
Toxic's
Reform Bill 5820, was introduced by (D) Chairmen Rush of Illinois and (D) Chairmen Waxmen of California
yesterday, July 22nd, 2010. A long needed reform of the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) of 1976. You probably are saying, yeah, no brainer.
Legislation that old, in such a world of escalating non stop industrialization,
needs reforms more often than this! This is just what a group called Environmental Working Group, (EWG) thought as well. So (EWG) got laboratory tests done on 10 babies' umbilical cords. These cords were tested for chemical components within the blood volume collected. Out of the ten subject babies, nine tested positive for a plastic component and synthetic estrogen called bisphenol A (BPA), a type of petrochemical used to produce epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics, within their umbilical cords. All ten babies were of minority decent. All ten was found to contain various chemicals. In total count of 232 chemicals were found in the testing conducted by (EWG). Don't know about you all, but I am alarmed! We wonder why the autism rate is growing by leaps and bounds? We all know that, chemicals alter the way cells respond, that is why they are used. It can be a benefit but it is also a detriment. We all must start holding our kind responsible for our role in what we are doing to our environment. Not to place blame but to help protect what we all need to have here for a better quality of life for ourselves and the other wildlife that we share space with. I shall take the time to thank both chairmen for bringing this bill forward. If we all take a stand and let our voices be heard collectively then big money, Corporate lips may not win out and cut our own environmental throats. I have included the web sites for each of the chairpersons above and below I have added each phone number to help speed the process. I know that with the work world that we all face today, causes get lost in the mix and that's what Big Corporations count on. If you get a chance, sign the petition in support of this important step forward to our vital protections. Or just leave me a comment, I would love to hear how you all out there feel about this subject.. Regarding Reform Bill 5820 Heads up - This takes a while to load unfortunately.
