EARTHJUSTICE BATTLES UNREGULATEDD TOXIC CHEMICALS

 
Toxics: Fighting for Healthy Communities
An Earthjustice Teleconference

More than 80,000 chemicals are currently approved for use in the United States, and over 15,000 are "secret." The vast majority have never been tested for safety. The U.S. often allows industry free rein while communities are left in the dark about what is in their water, air, and household products.
Earthjustice is fighting at the national and regional level to protect human health from pollutants and toxic chemicals. We fight for healthy communities by strengthening standards and protections and holding polluters accountable.
Join Earthjustice Managing Attorney Marianne Engelman Lado for a teleconference on how we’re working to fix a broken toxics regulatory system and to lift the secrecy around chemical safety.
Here are the Teleconference details: It will be held on Thursday, March 13, 2014 (11:30 AM- 12:30 PM Pacific Time)  Email: events@earthjustice.org
