the stroller brigade is rolling into hartford. join us!

Parents, often moms, bear the brunt of finding safe products for their families. Connecticut has been a leader in banning toxic chemicals but we need the federal government to take action too!  The Safe Chemicals Act of 2011 will ensure the products we use every day are free of chemicals that make our kids sick.

On Wednesday, August 10th, we will ask our Senators to join the brigade.  Join us at Bushnell Park in Hartford to write letter and cards to our Senators! Contact Anne Hulick or Susan Eastwood for more information!

Focus on: Diesel

Diesel Pollution Makes Us Sick

Diesel truck with black smokeDiesel engines emit a mixture of particles, metals and gasses including over 40 "hazardous air pollutants" as classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act. Diesel pollution can trigger asthma and cause lung cancer, stroke, and heart attack, contributing to 21,000 early deaths a year. Nationally, diesel exhaust poses a cancer risk that is 3 times greater than the combined risk of all air toxics assessed by EPA. Diesel exhaust is particularly dangerous because it is emitted at ground level - just where people breathe it in1 .
