Environmental/Chemical Pollution
Air
According to the EPA, there are over 80,000 chemicals in our air, of which, only a small percentage of which have been tested for safety. We breathe these in everyday, and more so if we live in a larger city.
Home
The FDA does not have ANY approval measures on the cosmetic (body care, lotions, face creams) allowing harmful parabens [estrogen mimicker], into our markets harming uneducated consumers. If you go into your bathroom right now, and have a lotion or something you bought from a trendy lotion place, you may find the PARABEN chemical in the ingredients. Parabens confuse our endocrine and estrogen receptors. "Extremely harmful" to humans.
Water
Poisons in our tap water due to municipal water filtration insufficiency. Pharmaceutical drugs have been found in 22/24 cities (AP). In Philadelphia, 56 drugs and their bi-products. In Southern California, 18.5 million people were exposed to anti-epileptic and anti-anxiety medications. In San Francisco, sex hormones were found at high levels in the city water.
