Seventh Generation, a company known for a focus on safe, non-toxic cleaning products, is sponsoring the Million Baby Crawl to to demand toxic chemical policy reform from Congress.

The Crawl consists of a virtual baby march. On the site, you can create a baby avatar to add to the march as fun way to show your support for a new law to protect us from health-harming chemicals.

Seventh Generation created the Million Baby Crawl to lends its support for a new law that discloses toxic chemicals and protects babies, children, and women from the chemicals that can harm them the most.

Current federal chemical laws have not kept up with science, and tighter regulation of potentially harmful chemicals is needed in order to keep our families safe. Since 1976, the EPA has required testing on only 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market.

Joining the crawl is a way to send a message to Washington, DC that you support of reform. Every name that is added to the Million Baby Crawl – either by creating a crawler or supporting a crawler – will be delivered to Washington, DC in an event to support legislative change.

Seventh Generation has partnered with Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, the national campaign for federal reform. Safer States is a member of the Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families campaign.

To show your support of the Million Baby Crawl and reforming the federal law, you can:

  • Join the Million Baby Crawl,
  • Learn more about the Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families campaign and email Congress to let them you know it’s time to update the law governing toxic chemicals,
  • Encourage your blog readers to do so as well, and
  • Spread the word via Facebook, Twitter or Email.
