Next Tuesday, May 22nd, I will be in Washington, DC rallying for safer chemicals. Will you join me - either in person or in spirit? We'll be gathering on the U.S. Capitol lawn at 9:30am, with a press conference starting at 10:00. After our "stroll" will will be meeting with members of Congress to ask them to pass the Safe Chemicals Act, legislation that would take meaningful steps to protect American families from harmful chemicals.
As many of you know, I have done a lot of work for Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families over the last year or so. This cause is so important to me because I don't think we should have to worry about toxic chemicals in the products we buy and use every day.
If safer chemical laws are important to you, please join us - either at the event in Washington, DC or online using the Twitter hashtags #StrollerBrigade and #SafeChemicalsAct and by linking to Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families on Facebook and Twitter.

The "greenest" thing anyone can do in their life is to follow a vegan diet!! I'm sure you already know about the horrors of factory farming and its negative impact upon the environment. But I enjoy your blog posts and I respect Jessica Alba and any other celebrity who uses his/her influence to make the world a better place. http://veganamericanprincess.com
