Overview
The soil underneath a local soccer field. The river that runs through
the center of your town or city. The air circulating above a factory or
industrial complex. All are important components of our communities—and
all are extremely vulnerable to toxic contamination.
At the federal level,
WISPIRG is backing the Kids Safe Chemical Act, a bill that will
protect public health by reforming the way our country deals with toxic
chemicals.
There is simply
no excuse, rationalization or justification adequate to allow our
neighborhoods to become polluted by toxic waste. That’s why we’re
fighting to make sure our environment is safe, healthy and secure.
