Seventh Generation has launched a really cute ‘virtual rally’ to bring attention to the issue of toxic chemicals in the home- The Million Baby Crawl to Washington. Cancer, infertility, obesity, asthma, learning disorders, early puberty, diabetes- all are on the rise in the U.S.  And all have been linked in recent studies to toxic chemicals.

Since 1976, the EPA has only required safety testing on 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market.  Seventh Generation is calling for a stronger chemical law to keep our families safe and healthy.  The proposed bill requires full information on the health and environmental hazards associated with all chemicals.

Want to help bring attention to the cause?  Create your own virtual tyke.  You can name your baby, choose their clothes & skin tone, and even upload a picture.  Then watch as your virtual crawler parachutes down and joins the march.  Or support our little Duck Duck Green crawler!  (Search for our baby, “DDG”.)
