💪🏽 We're holding chemical companies accountable. Today, we filed a complaint against Cornerstone Chemical Co. LLC because the company failed to report its importation of millions of pounds into the U.S.

City governments wield significant power through purchasing, and the right policies can apply that power to create healthier, more sustainable communities. Join us Sept. 30, 3 pm ET, for a conversation on “Procuring Health” with @ceh.org and @cspinet.org. Register: burness.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

“The environmental movement has lost a giant. We must continue to honor his vision in the difficult environmental landscape we face today." We join our colleagues at @nrdc.org in mourning the passing of Robert Redford. Beautiful words from @manishbapna.bsky.social, President & CEO of NRDC:

🎉 GOOD NEWS: Another company achieved our GreenScreen Certified standard for reusable foodware! 💚 We developed this rigorous standard with Clean Production Action to help consumers and institutional purchasers identify foodware that does NOT contain toxic PFAS.

🗣️ TAKE ACTION to get dangerous, ultra-processed foods out of school lunches! California can lead the nation by ensuring that schools promote healthier eating habits and protect students. Urge your State Senator to vote yes on #AB1264: actionnetwork.org/letters/get-...

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the US. It is the most commonly used pesticide in parks and is even found in foods. Is glyphosate hazardous for kids? Absolutely. Yet MAHA’s final report has erased any mention of glyphosate. Story: @careygillam.bsky.social @thenewlede.bsky.social

⚠️ Did you know that touching one BPS-coated receipt for 10 seconds can result in exposure above the safe harbor level? 😱 We're taking legal action. Thanks to Real Simple for reporting on our work and sharing helpful tips to reduce exposure to BPS. www.realsimple.com/grocery-shop...

🌎 CEH is taking part in @earthgives.bsky.social — a nationwide initiative focused on boosting giving to nonprofits focused on climate and environmental stewardship. 💚 Together, we can create a healthier world for future generations! Support our bold work today: www.earthgives.org/organization...

City govt has enormous buying power, and when paired with the right policies those purchases can help build healthier communities! Join @cityhealth.bsky.social, @ceh.org, and CSPI for a webinar exploring how well-constructed purchasing policies are making change in cities nationwide.

🎉 GOOD NEWS: Washington recently became the first state to adopt broad restrictions on chemicals in cosmetic products that can release formaldehyde! The adopted rule will take effect 1/1/27. We applaud the State of WA for taking action to protect people from toxic chemicals! 💚

Can't wait! #learn and #lead!

"Our lawns are places in our homes where we should be able to play and relax, safely. They should not be spaces where we worry about exposing ourselves to harm." -Kizzy Charles-Guzman, CEO of CEH, on the health risks associated with artificial turf. #ArtificialTurf #ArtificialGrass #Health

Because eating pesticides is bad for your health. 🤮

“I would not recommend parents let their children play on there. Period.” Great summary by our friends at @ehnewsroom.bsky.social on the Washington Post's recent article covering the health risks associated with artificial turf. Important #BackToSchool read.

"Genes play a range of roles in developing or preventing disease, and PFAS essentially change the way the genes are supposed to act."

It's very simple: pesticides and children's health do not go together.

"The crisis is already upon us.” Great article by @zteirstein.bsky.social (@grist.org) on how rising temperatures are rewriting the earliest stages of life. grist.org/health/how-c...

"Center for Environmental Health’s recent post on snack combos without artificial additives reinforces this, promoting fruits, veggies, and proteins for balanced intake." Thanks for the shoutout, Web Pro News! www.webpronews.com/dietitian-re...
