This video again reinforces the need for better governmental regulation of chemicals. The Kid-Safe Chemical Act of 2008 looks like it became of 2010, 2013, and finally of 2015. I'm glad this finally passed, despite its long journey. But there is more work to do since chemicals are still being introduced to our bodies without our knowledge or informed consent.

2.4 Ken Cook and Advocacy Organizations on Toxics in Personal Care Products
What a passionate guy! This video was informative and really well presented. I appreciate that the speaker, Ken Cook, introduced industrial pollution via "10 people" and proceeded to eliminate all routine routes of exposure for them. He then discloses they are all fetuses receiving these toxins through the umbilical cord. As if women don't have enough to worry about! But it did really paint the picture!

I am glad that the act has been finally been passed to product our youngest individuals. I agree that there is more work to do, this is only the beginning of our battle against toxic chemicals. I hope more people are inspired by Ken Cook and become advocates for better regulations and policies.
ReplyDeleteI also found the presentation by Ken Cook amazing. It really goes to show how important it is too be aware of the type of toxins we are surrounded by on a daily basis and how they can effect vulnerable populations, like unborn babies. I did not see the updates on Kid-Safe Chemical Act and I am happy to hear that it did make a come back!
