Addressing Chemical Exposures Through Policy and Market Based Campaigns
Omschrijving
Founded in 1992, Breast Cancer Fund is the only national organization focused solely on preventing breast cancer by identifying and eliminating the environmental causes of the disease. Part of our work as advocates for prevention is to look at everyday chemical exposures that may be linked to breast cancer. The public is inundated with the message that “prevention is early detection.” Yet, more and more scientific evidence is linking increasing rates of breast cancer and other diseases to increased chemical exposures. Making these linkages understandable to the general public is best accomplished in a context that is easily understandable. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics uses a market based campaign as well as a legislative strategy to seek reform of the largely unregulated cosmetics industry. It is also a useful and approachable way to talk about chemicals in consumer products that may be linked to cancer and cancer prevention. Through the work of the campaign, the public is being educated about toxic chemicals that are in the products they use every day. The Campaign also empowers the public to practice prevention in their daily lives while creating activists who are willing to speak out about unacceptable chemical exposures and demand greater corporate and government protections and accountability.
