Got a couple minutes, I’ve got something for you to do to support a worthy cause!  Head on over to Seventh Generation’s Million Baby Crawl and create a baby crawler {over 10, 000 crawlers created already, including my own} to help educate parents to raise their voices for stronger standards on toxic chemicals.  We’ve introduced you to the company Seventh Generation before with their amazing chlorine free baby products and all natural all purpose cleaners.  As BabyLuxe {daily} continues to go Green along with our readers, we hope you join us by making the smallest change first, it can all start with the way you clean your home.  Simply as that!

Did you know that…

-In the 33 years since Congress passed that nation’s chemical regulatory law, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TCSA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has required testing on just 200 of the more than 80,000 chemical compounds developed for products used in the home.

-Under the current law, the EPA does not have the authority to demand the information it needs to evaluate a chemical’s risk, and neither manufacturers nor the EPA are required to prove a chemical’s safety as a condition of use.

-1.25 million kids younger than six are unintentionally poisoned in the home each year by things like cosmetics and personal care products, cleaning substances, pain relievers and cough and cold medicines (American Association of Poison Control Centers)

-Studies show that nearly 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants have been found in the umbilical cord blood of newborns (Environmental Working Group).

How you can help…

-It’s easy, visit www.millionbabycrawl.com and create a crawler that represents why you want chemical reform
