It’s up to us to protect our ecosystems and communities from toxic chemicals.
Most of the 80,000 chemicals on the market in the United States have been put into use without testing long-term consequences for the environment, or their impacts on our health.

And if an industry makes a toxic mess, we should know right away, and they should be the ones to pay for cleaning it up.
