Support the Fracking Moratorium![/caption]
Last week, New York Assembly Democrats approved a two-year fracking moratorium. They believe, like us, that the health effects of hydrofracking should be studied before New York Governor Andrew Cuomo can approve moving forward with fracking in the state.
Now, it's your chance to support this groundbreaking legislation. Parents and families everywhere must voice their support to protect their health and the health of future generations.
Great news: CEH’s report on toxic flame retardants in nap mats has spurred Senator Frank Lautenberg (NJ) and 22 other Senators to call for an EPA study into flame retardant chemical dangers.
Right now, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), on behalf of strawberry agribusiness corporations, are asking Secretary of State Clinton and EPA Administrator Jackson to get more methyl bromide for California. Why? Because instead of coming up with safe, non-toxic alternatives to methyl bromide, industry's favored alternative was another toxic pesticide called methyl iodide - a chemical known to cause genetic damage, miscarriages and cancer.
Secretary Clinton will be leaving office later on this month. Tell her to leave us with a healthy legacy, one without more methyl bromide. Let's make 2013 the year of the healthy strawberry.
