Clean Water Action presents: The Story of Cosmetics film and the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010

Hello Mary, 

--------------------------------------------------------------
Do you know what's in your shampoo? 

Watch The Story of Cosmetics and ask your legislators to support the Safe Cosmetics Act [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4407&email.20100721 ]. 

--------------------------------------------------------------

What's really going on your body? Watch and share this film, and tell Congress it's time for safe cosmetics! 

What are all those chemicals in your shampoo? your lipstick? your aftershave? And what do they have to do with asthma, breast cancer and learning disabilities? 

Learn, share and help change this toxic mess: Watch The Story of Cosmetics [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4407&email.20100721 ], an 8-minute film exposing the ugly truth about personal care products - brought to you by Clean Water Action, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, Annie Leonard's Story of Stuff Project and Free Range Studios. 

Let's make a huge splash with this new video: if we all share it with our friends and community, we can reach millions of people and really inspire change! 

We need all hands on deck: Urge your elected officials to co-sponsor common-sense safe cosmetics legislation that ensures everyone has access to safe products! [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4407&email.20100721 ] 

This video is just in time to build momentum for groundbreaking safe cosmetics legislation - the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010! For the first time in 70 years, we have a real chance to pass a bill that would eliminate chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems from the products women, men and children put on their bodies every day.
