Get ready Washington, the babies are coming (and they are angry!).  Thousands of babies are crawling towards D.C. to "say no" to toxic chemicals found in our homes.

The Million Baby Crawl is an online effort by Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families (SCHF) coalition, Autism Society of America, Breast Cancer Fund, the American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Seventh Generation (a leading brand of non-toxic and environmentally safe household and personal care products).

Creating a baby on the site takes only seconds and they’re trying to reach a goal of 1 million "crawlers" before January 2010.

Creating a crawler is essentially signing an online petition aimed at overhauling the outdated Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has no real authority over the TSCA and in the past 33 years, has required testing on just 200 of the more than 80,000 chemical compounds developed for products used in the homes.

So make a crawler, tell everyone you know, and help create some safe barriers between us and the toxic chemicals in our homes.
