Ask Wal-Mart to Declare Independence from PVC Today!
Last fall, Wal-Mart committed to phasing out PVC in their packaging, a major
victory for consumers worldwide. Help leverage this victory and send a message to Wal-Mart asking them to declare independence from PVC, the poison plastic.
From vinyl shower curtains to children's toys, PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
plastic products pervade our homes and lives. These products are dangerous
to our health and environment from start to finish - in the factory, at
home, and in the trash, releasing toxic chemicals linked to cancer and birth
defects. The good news is safe and cost-effective alternatives exist and
other retailers, such as Ikea, have completely phased out PVC.
Send a message to Wal-Mart's CEO and ask them to phase out the poison
plastic.
