Green Options

Sometimes I feel like an idiot for trusting the American government to protect our children. I mean really, I should know better by now.  I had just assumed any new chemical introduced into the US market would be tested for toxicity:  NOT TRUE!

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) does not require chemical companies to test the 700 new chemicals introduced into the US market annually for their toxicity.  This law is so bad the EPA has not even been able to ban the known carcinogen asbestos under TSCA after 10 years of trying!
