Before they’re even born, kids can be exposed to 1000s of toxic chemicals & plastics that can harm their health.
Congress must stand up for kids’ health—not roll back protections from chemicals linked to cancer, learning disabilities & infertility. #TSCA
Take action: Tell your members of Congress NOT to roll back America’s chemical safety law!
New proposals in the House & Senate would weaken #TSCA, the nation’s main chemical safety law, and make it easier for dangerous chemicals to get into our homes, schools, and workplaces.
Congress must protect our health, not cave to the chemical industry!
Take action now: Tell Congress to stop the chemical lobby from rolling back critical health protections. #TSCA

🚨 A new Senate draft bill would weaken the nation’s chemical safety law, making it harder to keep chemicals linked to cancer, learning disabilities & infertility out of our lives.
Big chemical corporations have been pushing for this. But Congress must protect our health, not roll back protections!
Scientists agree that microplastics are everywhere. They're in our oceans, our food, and even in our bodies. 🌊🥗🧠
There’s no debating it. WE NEED LESS PLASTIC, MORE REAL SOLUTIONS NOW. ⚠️🚨

🐱🐶 Great news! Add PetSmart to the list of retailers that are phasing out bisphenols from receipt paper.
After Washington became the first state to ban all bisphenols in receipts, many retailers are eliminating them nationwide—protecting workers & shoppers from these toxic chemicals. #MindTheStore
BREAKING: The WA State Senate just voted to weaken health protections for lead in cookware.
There is no safe level of lead, especially for children.
Now the House must stop this rollback! Tell your state rep: Keep lead out of our kitchens.

📢 A new analysis from @SaferStates finds that at least 33 states will consider 275 policies to address #PFAS, plastics, and other toxic chemicals.
WA is proud to be #StatesInTheLead getting bisphenols out of receipt paper and more! 🙌

But time is running out. The House must act by February 17, and lawmakers need to hear from you now!
Take action and tell your representative: Protect our salmon. Ban 6PPD. #waleg
More than 90% of baby Coho salmon can die after exposure to 6PPD-Q—a toxic chemical formed when tire dust washes into streams & rivers.
But we have a chance to change that! In Washington, HB 2421 would ban #6PPD and regrettable substitutes—protecting salmon, clean water, and our ecosystems. #waleg
A WA state bill would delay strong lead limits in cookware for years, slowing critical health protections. Lead is a toxic, brain-damaging chemical with no safe level of exposure, especially for kids.
WA residents, tell your state senator: Oppose this bill and keep lead out of our kitchens. #waleg
Olympic skiers are saying goodbye to toxic #PFAS in their ski wax!
If Olympic athletes can compete without PFAS, then it’s past time for retailers and policymakers to ditch these toxic “forever chemicals” in ski wax, cookware, and more—and transition to safer solutions.
⚠️ Public health protections are under threat. A House bill would weaken #TSCA by limiting the science EPA can use, removing requirements that chemicals be proven safe, and giving industry more sway over chemical reviews.
Congress must reject this bill and protect our health from toxic chemicals.
Great to join @beyondplastics.bsky.social in Albany to urge NY legislators to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act.
This critical bill would cut plastic waste & hold corporations accountable. NY must lead by getting this done.

The Toxic Act is a chemical industry wish list that would weaken health protections and let more chemicals on the market without proper review.
We need stronger chemical safety laws, not giveaways to polluters. Congress must stop the chemical industry from rolling back our health protections! #TSCA
WA is the 1st state in the nation to ban bisphenols in receipt paper—chemicals linked to serious health harms.
The impact goes far beyond Washington: major retailers are making receipts safer across the country.
Proof that strong state and retail action can drive national change. 💪 #MindTheStore
📈 The TOXIC Act would lead to more toxic chemicals, more cancer & more industry profit.
It would roll back core public health protections, putting chemical industry profits over people’s health. We need stronger protections from toxic chemicals—not weaker ones. Congress must reject the TOXIC Act!
Join Toxic-Free Future & Judith Enck of @beyondplastics.bsky.social at Town Hall Seattle on 2/22!
Judith & @knkx.org’s Bellamy Pailthorp will discuss her new book, The Problem with Plastics, & real steps we can take to push back against the plastics industry.

❗Happening today: The House Energy & Commerce Committee is considering the TOXIC Act—a chemical industry-backed bill that would weaken EPA authority, short-cut safety reviews and roll back protections from cancer-causing chemicals.
📢 Take action: toxicfreefuture.org/take-action/...
Congress is considering a chemical industry wish list that would weaken EPA authority, fast-track new chemicals and let toxic substances like PFAS enter the market without full safety reviews.
Congress must reject this assault on our health protections! #TSCA
🐟 WA lawmakers are weighing an important new bill that would put the health of salmon & people 1st by banning 6PPD in tires—a chemical that breaks down & kills Coho salmon & creates health hazards for kids.
Lawmakers must protect salmon, clean water & human health by banning 6PPD in tires! #waleg
Congress must reject this chemical lobby wish list. 📢 Tell Congress: protect people, not polluters.
Take action:

🚨 A new chemical industry-backed House bill would roll back key federal protections from toxic chemicals and weaken safeguards that protect our families. This bill is a chemical industry wish list disguised as “reform,” and it threatens our health, our environment, and our communities.
🏡 The green living movement is growing—but we can’t shop our way out of toxic chemicals & plastics.
PFAS, phthalates & flame retardants hide in furniture, cleaners & building materials, ending up in air & dust. We need systemic policy change to protect health & get toxic chemicals out of homes!
Washington @ecology.wa.gov has banned bisphenols in thermal receipt paper – the receipts we're handed in stores. The state has been on top of efforts to limit toxic chemicals in food, consumer products, etc.
Thx @toxicfreefuture.bsky.social for the tip.

🧾 Our new #MindTheStore survey also found retailers are stepping up. Eighteen major retailers, from CVS Health to TJX, have already eliminated toxic bisphenols from receipts nationwide.
That’s a big win for shoppers & retail workers, and shows how we’re driving change in the marketplace.
🏆 WA just became the 1st state to ban all bisphenols in receipt paper & other thermal paper—protecting workers & shoppers from a hidden source of chemical exposure.
This is what health-protective policy looks like: proving we don’t have to accept toxic chemicals as the cost of doing business.
