Where Are All These Crawling Babies Going?

Join the MillIon Baby Crawl, a fantastic new campaign from our friends at Seventh Generation that lets our babies spread the word to Washington that our toxic chemical policy needs reform!
Since 1976, the US EPA has required safety testing on only 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market. We need a stronger chemical policy to protect our children and keep our families healthy! The Million Baby Crawl is a fantastic way for parents and concerned citizens to get involved in a virtual campaign and on-the-ground rallies around the country. Have a look at this great video to learn more:
So get started! Log onto MillionBabyCrawl.com and create a "crawler" with a customized profile - your crawler can even represent your own baby! Then share your crawler with your friends and network to spread the word about the movement.
Creating your crawler enters you into the exciting Million Baby Crawl Sweepstakes for five lucky winners to travel to Washington, D.C. in January to witness the presentation of this historic legislation to Congress.
Here, Dr. Alan Greene shares why this movement is so important and explains why reform to our chemical regulation system is long overdue:
There are so many ways to get involved:
- Join the Million Baby Crawl Twitter Party on October 27th from 9 -11PM EST, #MBCrawl.
- Participate in a Crawl to Action Event being hosted around the country this fall.
- And don't forget to create your crawler and spread the word!
So lets get going - we're crawling all the way to Washington!

Hooray for 7th Generation for starting this. It is a travesty that so many chemical are allowed in baby products.
