• Our polluted bodies

    • Our bodies are polluted by hundreds of chemicals that are not supposed to be there - and we don't know much about how they affect us.

    • More and more chemicals every day

    New synthetic chemicals are entering the market at an average rate of 3 per day! They add to the more than 80,000 synthetic chemicals that are already in use today. Nobody knows exactly how many we are exposed to.

    Most chemicals are untested

    The majority of all the synthetic chemicals that are used in our products has never been tested for how they affect our health - such as if they damage our immune systems, our ability to get children, or if they cause cancer.

    Increasing evidence of negative effects

    So what are the consequences of using all these chemicals? We really don’t know… but there is increasing and disturbing evidence of negative effects on our health. Even at very low doses.

    Good materials exist!

    Instead of listing materials to exclude, we must put our attention on materials to include. We must identify materials with favorable effects on our health (and the environment) to be used in everything that we buy. From cosmetics to furniture and toys.
