Once upon a time, in 1976, there was passed the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Of the 62,000 chemicals on the market at the time TSCA passed in 1976, EPA has only required testing on about 200; and it has only regulated five. 
Congress is currently involved with mandating stricter guidelines, under the Kids-Safe Chemical Act. But, the chemical industry may not be as happy about these changes, as they claim to be.
We are not living in a fairytale, this is the real deal. Watch the below video and take action …

For those of us who defied the Surgeon General’s warning on the cigarette package for all those years…. We all know,  how valid the warning was and still is.
And now,  research has proven that many products that families are using in our homes around their children and family, can be detrimental to their health.
In a report from the NIEHS (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences), the following statement pretty much sums up what all the research is saying:
Children are highly vulnerable to the negative health consequences associated with many environmental exposures. Children receive proportionately …

Birth defects, asthma symptoms, obesity in children, pediatric cancer, infertility, environmental allergies and more are on the rise. And, due to their staggering statistics, more research is pointing the finger at all the toxic exposures that children come in contact with. They become exposed prior to birth, as well as afterwards.
These exposures come from products right off the shelf. Plastic baby bottles, baby clothes, cleaning products, personal care products, to name a few. And, since all of these products are for sale to each and every consumer, a natural assumption …

There probably isn’t a parent in the world, that wouldn’t give or do ANYTHING, to protect their child. Loving their children and protecting them from being physically or emotionally harmed by themselves or someone else, are instinctual traits for all parents. Yet, despite parents doing their very best, sometimes children are still exposed to harmful things.
Health hazards for children are everywhere. Yes, there are exposures outside, as well as inside of their homes, that can trigger common diseases and health conditions in a child. Even in utero, babies and children are often vulnerable to …

Alexandra has taken her passion for nature and wildlife and turned it into an inspiring story with a simple message: children can make a difference for Planet Earth. As a …

In an valiant attempt to protect our children, the government passed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), in August 2008. CPSIA’s intent is to protect children from lead exposure in the products they come into daily contact with.
We’ve all heard about lead in paint, toys, etc, especially from toys manufactured in China, but the threat is an issue in products made throughout the world. So, in an effort to make some enforceable guidelines to battle this health issue, we now have CPSIA.
ONE BIG PROBLEM THOUGH….the government didn’t think this …

Last June, I posted information about a Bill that had been introduced into the House of Representatives in May 2008. It’s called the Kid-Safe Chemical Act, and it is a comprehensive bill attempting to amend the current Toxic Substances Control Act. This bill’s intent is to reduce the exposure of children, workers, and consumers to everyday toxins.
Recently, I was directed to this video on the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) website, that explains a lot about the type of exposures that all of us can and do come in contact with. …
