ACT TODAY! We need your help to REACH for a toxics-free future!

New action now at  http://www.chemicalreaction.org/

Dear Friend - We have updated our web site so that you can now contact Members
of the European Parliament (MEPs). They are currently discussing the new
chemicals legislation but the chemicals industry is still attacking the
proposal. MEPs have even complained that they only get to hear the industry
position. It is high time that they hear from the public - from you - about
concerns about your health of yourself and your family.

Please tell your MEPs that you want hazardous chemicals to be substituted and
replaced with safer alternatives and that you want a right to know what
chemicals are in products you buy. Please go to our website:
 http://www.chemicalreaction.org/, select an MEP and send an email to express
your concerns.

Feel free to pass this email on to your colleagues and friends. We really need
your help.

misleading campaign!

18.03.2004 17:11

I think these organisations, such as Friends of the Earth, WWF, Greenpeace are being very misleading in pushing this campaign.

What they conveniently fail to mention is the huge number of animals that will be killed in all the extra toxicity tests that would come about if this legislation goes through.

It is unfair to encourage people to sign up to something, that they may not necessarily agree with, if they were presented with the whole picture.

Yes, we need stricter controls on chemicals, and better information regarding the problems a chemical may cause; but this will not and should not come through animal tests. Animal toxicity tests are painful, cruel, and give misleading results.

The BUAV have written a comprehensive report condemning 'REACH':  http://www.buav.org
