"My grandfather passed away from cancer using similar products that we use [in our autobody shop] on a daily basis."

"My younger sister has Aspergers."

"Shifting the chemical industry onto a safer path actually helps the entire US economy and you'll see jobs being created."

"My dad was recently diagnosed with emphysema and he worked next to an asbestos landfill and was a mechanic for a very long time.  He worked with lots of toxic chemicals."

"It's priceless the cost of your life. You can't put a dollar on life and health."

These are just a few of the motivations that brought advocates, business owners, health care providers and economic experts together at the Massachusetts State House on a July morning this summer. This powerful team came together to testify in support of the Safer Alternatives Bill which will create a program in Massachusetts to replace toxic chemicals in our products, workplaces, and communities with safer alternatives. We captured their stories in a powerful video.

Watch the video to hear from some of these people about why they have joined the effort to pass the Safer Alternatives Bill and protect our health from toxic chemicals, then share this it with your friends, family, colleagues...and your legislators.
