A new Senate bill (the Udall-Vitter bill) is the first in 39 years to control and regulate toxic substances in the chemical industry.
Question: Who is writing this bill?Answer: The chemical industry!
Says California Senator Barbara Boxer, "Call me old-fashioned, but a bill to protect the public from harmful chemicals should not be written by chemical industry lobbyists. The voices of our families must not be drowned out by the very industry whose documented harmful impacts must be addressed, or the whole exercise is a sham."
Thank you, Senator Boxer, for being a voice against this blatant corruption that will have horrible consequences for our health and our planet. Is anyone listening? Does anyone care any longer?
