Take Action
We’ve Taken To The Airwaves
This week we launched a new cable TV ad as part of our last efforts to pass the Toxic-Free Kids and Families Act (ESHB 1294). Time is running out and we need to convince the Senate that it’s time to get off the toxic treadmill and protect our families and our environment from toxic Tris flame retardants. Please watch the ad and call Senator Tom at 360-786-7694. Then please share the ad with your friends and families.
We’re Ready For Round 2
We are extremely disappointed and frustrated that the Toxic-Free Kids and Families Act (ESHB 1294) didn’t make it out of the Senate in the final hours of the regular legislative session. The Senate never took up the strong House version of the bill, nor did it accept reasonable compromises offered by the bill sponsors. Massive last-minute lobbying by the American Chemistry Council, the Association of Washington Business and Walmart resulted in the Senate letting the bill die.
Enough Is Enough!
Nap time should be filled with sweet dreams, not with cancer causing flame retardants. Unfortunately, our recent testing has uncovered toxic flame retardants in foam nap mats sold in Washington state. We even found that legislators cannot escape these harmful chemicals!
Swing Into Action
Did you make a New Year’s resolution? Well, if you’re stuck, here’s an idea: join the Washington Toxics Coalition team and support our efforts to pass the Toxic-Free Kids and Families Act. Help us protect our kids and environment from toxic flame retardants.
