Our new research shows many of The Home Depot’s top suppliers are still using PVC in their packaging. Seriously?!
#PVC doesn’t make our homes better; it threatens our health, safety, and the environment. 🌎 The Home Depot can and must do more to phase it out of all packaging on store shelves.

💥 The chemical lobby is trying to weaken #TSCA — the law that protects us from dangerous chemicals, bans deadly solvents like TCE and methylene chloride & lets states act on toxics like #PFAS.
Tell your senators to keep TSCA strong and oppose industry rollbacks.

Hats off to Amber, our New England Zero Waste Organizer, for never being afraid to DIG IN to the issues!
She was joined by other local orgs to sort the contents of targeted public trash cans and note what we throw away now.
That way we can see the impact of new zero waste policies!

The good news? Washington state and retailers like Sephora & Ulta Beauty are leading the way toward safer beauty. 💄🌎
