Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine

The Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine is a diverse coalition of Maine-based organizations engaged in a public health campaign to phase out the long-lived toxic chemicals that build up in the food web and our bodies. Through a series of strategic issue campaigns, The Alliance is targeting sources of persistent toxic chemicals to be replaced with safer alternatives. Over time, we will seek government and business commitments to phase out the entire class of persistent toxics in favor of clean production.

The organizations committed to the campaign represent health-affected children, workers, doctors, public health professionals, environmentalists and impacted communities. Together we are committed to protecting human health from toxic chemical exposure and building organizational capacity to sustain environmental health improvements. Working collectively in Maine, we can set the pace nationally for policy development and best practices that end the dangerous use of persistent toxic chemicals.

• We believe that all Maine people have a right to a healthy environment where we live, work and play.
• We envision a future free of exposure to harmful chemicals in our air, water or food.
• We want our children to grow up healthy with every opportunity to thrive.
• We seek to build a healthy economy that provides good jobs producing clean products and services.
• We are proud of all that’s been accomplished so far toward a clean and healthy Maine.
