Let's Take Action on BPA
OEC is working to close loopholes in our product safety system. But right now, we need your help to let your state representatives know that passing these laws should be a priority.
I'm not sure if you read today's Oregonian article about chemicals and toxins in products we use every day. Or the recent articles in the Salem Statesman-Journal about toxic chemicals in our school supplies, or lead in our products. Everywhere you turn it seems like people are noticing that we need to begin closing the loopholes in our product safety system.
During this upcoming legislative session in Salem, the Oregon Environmental Council will be working vigorously to do just that. But right now, we need your help in letting your state representatives know that passing these laws need to be a priority for them.
We've created a draft letter that you can customize and send them right now. It will be directed straight to your State Senator and House Representative. If you're not sure who your representative is, please feel free to find your state legislator and put their proper salutation in the letter - and to contact them directly as well. You might be surprised how much a phone call can do! Thank you!
Sincerely,
Renee Hackenmiller - Paradis, MPH., PhD., Program Director, Environmental Health.
