  • Don't dump our compost law!

    compostLegislation being considered this week by the Michigan Senate Committee on Energy & Technology would seriously weaken Michigan's longstanding ban on landfill disposal of segregated yard trimmings by exempting landfills with gas recovery systems. These “Grass-to-Gas” bills were moved very quickly out of the House, and are being considered by the Senate committee on Tuesday, May 15. The legislation would permit the incineration of yard trimmings.

    These bills allow yard waste to go to landfills, and will result in closing composting facilities across the state, Michigan workers losing jobs, and their communities suffering the consequences.  We strongly oppose this legislation.

  • Safe Chemicals Act Petition to Congress

    Let's pass the Safe Chemicals Act now!

    The chemical industry is spending millions of dollars lobbying Congress to block meaningful progress in Washington. Apparently, the chemical industry has no qualms with the thousands of toxic chemicals that are hurting our health and natural resources. We know what's at stake. We know we have to fight back against this multi-million dollar industry. Please join us by signing the petition below.

    To the United States Senate and House of Representatives:

  • Help keep yard waste out of landfills!

    Michigan HB 4265 and HB 4266 will seriously weaken Michigan's longstanding ban on landfill disposal of segregated yard trimmings by exempting landfills with gas recovery systems. These “Grass-to-Gas” bills are moving very quickly this legislative session and could come up for a vote in the full House as early as Wednesday, March 14th. There have been amendments added to permit the incineration of yard trimmings.

    These bills repeal the ban on yard waste going into landfills and will result in composting facilities closing, workers being laid off, and the related business activities in the community ending.  We strongly oppose this legislation that will send a message to small businesses that Michigan is not the place to set up shop.

    Michigan residents can send a message to the Michigan House of Representatives urging them to oppose HB 4265 and HB 4266 by filling out the form below.

  • I support the Safe Chemicals Act!

    Learn more about our jewelry findings by watching this video. Or, SKIP to take action.



    Over half (57%) of the jewelry we tested had a “high” level of concern due to the presence of one or more hazardous chemicals detected at high levels. Four products contained more than 10 percent (by weight) cadmium, a known carcinogen.     Twenty-five percent had more than 300 ppm of lead in one or more components, exceeding the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) limit of lead in children’s products.

    Toxic jewelry is a symptom of the complete failure of our federal chemical regulatory system.

    Let your Senator know you support the Safe Chemicals Act.

    Send an email to ask your Senator to co-sponsor the Safe Chemicals Act (S.847), which requires:

    * Phase-out of the most dangerous known chemicals
    * Testing of new chemicals to make sure they are safe before they are sold to the public
    *     Disclosure of chemical testing data

    Without co-sponsors this bill won't get the attention it deserves. When this bill is passed it will increase the safety of chemicals used in consumer products and protect vulnerable populations like pregnant women and children.

  • We support better mass transportation options for our community!

    Expanding and improving mass transit in Washtenaw County offers great economic and environmental benefits for Ann Arbor residents.

    That's why the Ecology Center supports the expanded countywide transit system now being considered by the Ann Arbor City Council.

    The proposed new framework for creating a countywide transit authority is the first formal step to building a successful transit system that serves all of Washtenaw County.  

  • Support Historic Fuel Economy Standards!

    To meet the historic path set out by President Obama this past November, the EPA and NHTSA have developed regulations that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by half and nearly double fuel economy for 2017-2025 model year vehicles relative to 2010 vehicles. Public comments are due by February 13th so please take action ASAP!

    These standards will:

    What’s more, the standards are expected to spur American car makers to explore innovations including game-changing advanced technologies that will add jobs across the economy and make America more competitive.

    Though these regulations have widespread support among the public, as well as endorsements by the major automobile and truck manufacturers, there are naysayers out there. That’s why we’re asking you to take a moment to tell EPA and NHTSA that you support their proposal.

    Click below to submit an email to EPA and NHTSA. We’ll provide some talking points, but it would be more powerful for them to hear from you in your own words.

  • We Need the Power to Protect Our Kids!

    Back in the 70s, manufacturers routinely added a chemical flame retardant known as chlorinated Tris to children's PJs. Research revealed chlorinated Tris' toxic effects on children's health and chlorinated Tris was voluntarily phased out of kids' PJs. Problem solved, right? Wrong.

    Jump ahead 30 years: this same toxic flame retardant is being added to baby products. A recent report, Hidden Hazards in the Nursery, demonstrates the widespread use of toxic flame retardants in nursing pillows, car seats, and changing pads.

    How are we supposed to protect our families when we aren't given access to the right information - like what's being added to our baby's toys and products? We deserve the right-to-know about toxic chemicals in children's products so we can make informed decisions. That’s why the Safe Children's Products Act (SB 893 and 894) is so important. It would empower families to make informed purchasing decisions by giving them the right-to-know about dangerous chemicals in children’s products.

  • Ask Gov. Snyder to veto 'No Stricter than Federal'

    Michigan has a long tradition of protecting our environment even when it meant we had to stand apart from what other states or the federal government wanted to do.

    Now, misguided legislators want to take away Michigan’s decision-making authority and give it to federal officials. With HB 4326, they would politicize decisions about protecting Michigan's natural resources and communities by pushing a federally mandated "one-size fits all" environmental standard. 

    This legislation ties the hands of Michigan voters and puts our ability to make decisions about our state’s future in the hands of distant bureaucrats and far-away policy makers. This bill is bad for the Great Lakes, bad for Michigan families, and bad for the future of our state.

    Michigan should be better than that! That's why we're asking you to urge Governor Snyder to Veto HB 4326.

  • Ask your Senator for Safer Chemicals

    We know you’re concerned about chemicals like toxic flame retardants, formaldehyde, and heavy metals in everyday products like our furniture, children’s products, and pet toys. But, what about your Senator? Is your Senator concerned? 

    Our environmental health organizer Jennifer Canvasser explains why we need you to ask your Senators to co-sponsor the Safe Chemical Act.



    Earlier this year, Senator Lautenberg introduced the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011, which would help to ensure our families are protected from chemicals linked to many of today’s common diseases like cancer, infertility, and learning disabilities. This Thursday, November 17, the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011 will receive a hearing in the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

    Please ask your Senators to co-sponsor the Safe Chemicals Act of 2011.

  • Support the Safe Cosmetics Act!

    What are all those chemicals in your lipstick? your aftershave? your child's shampoo? Some of them are linked to cancer, birth defects, infertility and other health problems. We need your help to convince Congress that the beauty industry needs a safety makeover!

    The Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011 (H.R.2359) gives consumers, parents and environmental health advocates a real chance at national legislation that will eliminate harmful chemicals from the products women, men and children put on their bodies every day.

    Tell your Representative that safe cosmetics are important to you and ask him or her to sign on as a co-sponsor of the Safe Cosmetics Act. Or, if you're represented by one of the bill's authors, Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.) or Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.), send them your thanks!

  • Creepy. Spooky. Eerie. Toxic Chemicals in Halloween Make-up

    Halloween is full of spooky surprises and some of these surprises are more welcomed than others. Goblins, ghosts, and little ones in costumes – we’ll take them! Toxic chemicals, like cadmium and mercury in Halloween make-up  – that’s a creepy surprise we’d all like to avoid.

    HealthyStuff.org recently tested common Halloween make-up, often used by young children, and found one or more toxic heavy metals in 100% of the products tested. Fifty percent of the products tested contained detectable levels of cadmium. Cadmium is a potent neurotoxin and carcinogen, and can disrupt a child’s healthy development. It’s scary to think about putting these nasty chemicals directly on your face!

    Fortunately, a bi-partisan group of Michigan Senators recently introduced a bill that would help to protect kids from cadmium and mercury in children’s products. Please tell your Senator that creepy chemicals, like cadmium and mercury, have no place in our children’s toys and products. Ask your Senator to co-sponsor this important legislation.

  • Thank you for your contribution!

    school w solar panelsWe appreciate your contribution to our efforts to help find a solution to the discontinuation of the Low Income and Energy Efficiency Fund (LIEEF).  Now, please take a moment to write to the Michigan House & Senate Energy Committees to show them you care about this issue. 

  • Solar Panels on the Big House!

    Please list your University of Michigan affiliation (student, alumni, box seat ticket holder, football fan, etc.) in your "affiliation" field!

    Across the country, the NFL is surging ahead with efforts to green its stadiums. The only problem is, the largest stadiums (and thus, those creating the biggest waste) are for college teams, not the professionals. And the biggest of the big is the "Big House", home to the University of Michigan Wolverines.

    Despite a number of impressive efforts on campus to improve U of M's sustainability (including an initiative to use recycled caps and gowns at this year's commencement), University officials continue to resist efforts to put up solar panels, claiming it isn't cost effective. But if they can make it work in Seattle and Philly, surely Ann Arbor can work too. Besides, it shouldn't all just come down to the bottom line in terms of dollars—universities are places for educating, and this is a unique opportunity for U of M to educate and lead a large new sector in sustainability: college stadiums.

    While the University of Michigan is known as a great school for many things, the Wolverines put the campus on the map. And with climate change creeping forward, there is no time to lose—this initiative is a winning combination for the Wolverines, bringing positive attention to the university with real consequences for the planet.

    Join us in asking University leadership to make an announcement that they'll commit to solar at September 27th's EarthFest.

  • Phase out the use of hazardous flame retardants in consumer products!

    HealthyStuff.org, in coordination with the Alliance for Toxic-Free Fire Safety, is asking the largest car seat retailers, Graco and Evenflo, to take leadership by disclosing and phasing hazardous flame retardants our of their products. 

    Let’s send a message to Graco and Evenflo: all babies deserve safe, non-toxic car seats!

  • Business Owners for the Right-to-Know

    As Michigan small business owners that sell high quality children's products, we believe that large toy manufacturers and importers should be required to disclose their use of dangerous chemicals in children's products because "toxic toys" and recalls of contaminated children's products directly impact our business.

    We are commited to providing the safest products for children, but our current system does not allow us to identify which children's products contain chemials like arsenic, cadmium, or toxic flame retardants. We need the right-to-know about toxic chemicals in children's products to provide the safest products and the most complete information to our customers. With so many small businesses struggling in this economy, legislation that helps Michigan's small business owners should be a priority.

    We support policies that would:
    * Give business owners and Michigan familes the right-to-know about chemicals of greatest concern in children's products by providing information in an accessible way
    * Create a science-based list of the chemicals of concern in children's products
    * Require large manufacturers and importers of children's products to disclose their use of the identified chemicals of greatest concern in children's products
    * Join with other states to implement the law most efficiently

    We are commited to providing products that are safe for kids, but we need help. Policymakers should support small businesses by giving us the right-to-know because we are the engines of growth in our state. We support policies that not only protect children, but also protect and enhance our own business prospects.

  • Submit Personalized Comments to EPA

    Thank you for adding your name to the statement to the EPA to protect the health of your fellow Michiganders.

    To make an even more powerful statement please send Lisa Jackson, USEPA administrator, a brief personal comment. Your personal comments will be sent immediately using your email address.

    A few talking points:

    * Comment on your personal or family concerns for why the rules are needed.

    * Comment in general terms on the health impacts based on your personal experience as a health professional.

    * Michigan already has a general fish consumption advisory for all inland lakes and rivers due to mercury contamination and specific advisories for those few locations that have tested high for mercury and other contaminates such as dioxin.

    * Make sure to comment on this rule on Mercury and Air Toxics. You can mention other concerns such as climate change, ground-level ozone or particulate matter as secondary matters but these will be addressed in future rule making. 

  • Our Babies Deserve Safe, Non-Toxic Car Seats

    Our friends at HealthyStuff.org just released a study that found toxic chemicals in children's car seats sold in Michigan. Like you, we want safe products for our kids and want to protect them from chemicals linked to cognitive impairments, cancer, and reproductive problems.

    That's why we need your help. Our current laws allow manufacturers to put toxic chemicals into children's products, like car seats, while we're kept in the dark, not knowing which product is contaminated and which is safe.  

    Please urge your Michigan lawmakers to give families the right-to-know about toxic chemicals in children’s products. We should have the power to choose non-toxic car seats for our children.

    The study has received national media attention and is helping to raise awareness about the importance of safer children's products. Click on the video to learn more:



    * Car seats save lives! Regardless of the ranking a particular car seat received on HealthyStuff.org, it is essential for children to ride in car seats.

  • Tell Consumers Energy to Support Solar Power and Grow Michigan's Economy

    solar_panels

    Consumers Energy has recently decided not to extend a popular solar incentive program that could create new jobs and business growth in Michigan. Many of the 121 Michigan businesses that work in the growing solar industry are urging Consumers to expand its program in order to create new jobs and clean energy in Michigan. Read the open letter sent to Consumers Energy from Michigan solar manufacturers, installers, and advocacy groups.

    Can you join the call for clean energy jobs? Please write Consumers Energy’s CEO John Russell and Governor Snyder and add your voice to the growing call for clean energy and business growth in Michigan.

    • There is demand for solar power in Michigan. Consumers solar program, the Experimental Advanced Renewables Program, met its initial goal in only two weeks.
    • The costs for solar power are dropping and the industry is growing. Now is the time to support demand for solar power and create new opportunities and new jobs in Michigan’s solar industry. Consumers is moving in the wrong direction.
    • There are cost effective ways for Consumers Energy to expand its Experimental Advanced Renewables Program, create new jobs and grow Michigan’s Economy.

  • Where's Your Right to Choose Safe Children's Products?

    BPA in your baby's bottle? Toxic flame retardants in your grandson's mattress? Cadmium in your niece's jewelry? Enough is enough.

    Currently, manufacturers are not required to disclose their use of toxic chemicals in children's products. Children's products continue to contain chemicals linked to diseases like cancer, infertility, and learning disabilities. Michigan families deserve the right-to-know about toxic chemicals in children's products so we can make informed purchasing decisions.

    State Senators Kahn, Marleau, Nofs, and Warren have made a commitment to work on safe children's products legislation. Please take a moment to thank them, and urge them to introduce this legislation swiftly. The sooner this bill moves, the sooner Michigan families will be empowered to protect their kids from toxic chemicals in children's products.
