Michael Green says that since World War II, "we have created tens of thousands of chemicals that didn't exist before and very few of these chemicals have been regulated.  Nor have we taken any protective measures.  Chemicals are assumed safe until proven otherwise.  The result is an unplanned science experiment.  We don’t know which of these things are going to have health and environmental consequences."

We have all heard about the toxic BPA that plastic bottles used to be made of, but what about BPS?  Current regulations ban some toxic chemicals but they don't stop industry from replacing them with others just as bad.  Today, millions of babies drink from bottles that still contain toxic chemicals. The Center For Environmental Health calls this the toxic shell game.

Join us to learn how we can work together to protect our health.
