Ban Toxics, Baby!

posted by: Sandra

We blogged it on Blog Action day. We signed the petition. We closed our eyes really tightly and tapped our shoes together three times.

But it hasn't gone away yet.

Bisphenol A is still all around us ... including in baby bottles.

The battle continues to be waged and we can be part of the front lines. If you are a BlogHers Act Canada blogger or reader living in the Toronto area, then we'd love to invite you to special event. We are excited to support Toxic Nation's "Ban Toxics, Baby!" rally on November 20th. Here are the deets:

Family Rally to End Toxic Chemicals in Baby Bottles

We want the McGuinty government to get cracking and pass a law to get toxic chemicals out of baby bottles and other consumer products.

FAMILY FUN RALLY!
Join us with your babies and your old baby bottles for music, fun, hot apple cider and cheering at Queen's Park.

WHERE: Queen's Park front lawn
WHEN: Tuesday, November 20, 2007
10AM-11:30AM
Rain or Shine, we'll be out for a party!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

Not in Toronto to attend the rally? Still want to do something tangible and up close and personal?

Toxic Nation is also embarking on a huge campaign to urge daycare centres to ban Bisphenol A.

You can ask your child's day care centre to become Bisphenol A free and to implore their suppliers to do the same. All the info plus sample letters can be found here.

So let's do it, baby. Let's ban toxics!!!

If you go to the event and take photos ... be sure to blog them and let us know so we can post links and spread the word about the rally. Thanks!
