Take Action Against Environmental Toxins Today

I can’t believe how much energy we waste complaining about the current lack of support to remove hazards and toxins from our environment at a government and regulatory level.  I see so many articles and news releases about the horrific lack of good legislature or initiatives out there to protect the public.  I think it is time to stop cursing the darkness and start shining some super bright energy efficient lights onto the subject matter.  It’s time for all of us to get involved and take action to demand real environmental toxins reform in this country.

I found a very informative article entitled Guide to Environmental Non-Profits and have included an excerpt that shows how important it is to discern.

With so many environmental groups sporting similar names and missions, what’s an interested citizen to do? How can anyone distinguish between the “Center for Whale Research” and the “Institute for Cetacean Research”? Between “Wildlife Trust” and “The Wildlife Trusts”? “The Ocean Conservancy” and “Conserve Our Ocean Legacy”?

You can—and must. The Center for Whale Research, for instance, monitors killer whales in the Pacific Northwest, but the Institute for Cetacean Research is a front group for Japanese whaling interests. Very different. Wildlife Trust is a group for empowering American scientists, while The Wildlife Trusts is a leading coalition of conservation activists in the United Kingdom. And, well, The Ocean Conservancy and Conserve Our Ocean Legacy are on the same side of the issue and both operate from Washington, D.C.

Toxin Toxout: Getting Harmful Chemicals Out of Our Bodies and Our World 

Another recent news release stated:

Our nation’s broken toxic chemicals policy left 300,000 West Virginians without drinkable tap water. The Toxic Substances Control Act is so weak that when a hazardous chemical leaked from a coal processing plant into West Virginia’s water supply, officials did not know the harmful effects of drinking that contaminated water. We need real reform of this law now. (ewg.org)
