#GivingTuesdayNow: Let’s Build Back Better
A truly global threat like COVID-19 affects all of us, and toxic chemicals can affect immune system defenses against infections. Workers, vulnerable populations, and other groups at higher risk for disease can have their risk for serious illness increased by their exposure to everyday toxic chemicals.
But Clean Production Action is changing this course. By developing a standard to eliminate PFAS in firefighting foam. By encouraging companies to measure and reduce their chemical footprints. By working hand in hand with governments, advocacy organizations, and businesses to find, and implement, safer solutions to toxic chemicals. By documenting through the Chemical Footprint Project Survey alone, returning companies reported reducing 461 million pounds of chemicals of high concern – the equivalent weight of 628 Boeing 747 airliners!
Now is the time for all of us to do things differently, and build back better. Let’s ensure that people and planet are safer for all of us.
Please join us on this #GivingTuesdayNow, and support our work for a healthier world.
