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. The materials used to package our food. All are
important components of our communities and are all extremely vulnerable
to toxic contamination.
At the federal level, TexPIRG is backing the Ban Poisonous
Additives Act (S. 593/H.R. 1523), which has as lead sponsors Senator
Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.).
There
is simply no excuse, rationalization or justification to allow our
toxic chemicals in the foods we eat and the products we buy for our
children. That’s why we’re fighting to make sure our environment is
safe, healthy and secure.
