Ban on Plastic Bags Proposed in Wellfleet & Theo Colborn Video

Above, a photo of my grandchildren. They are why I fight so hard to protect Cape Cod water from contamination by toxic chemicals. Tomorrow I will report on the Selectmen's meeting where the Green Task Force, represented by Lydia Vivante, presented its proposal. In the meantime, some good news: today, in Wellfleet, the Recycling Commission decided to vote next week on Bethia Brehmer's proposal to ban plastic bags, after the issue was referred to them last night by the Selectmen. Then, today, a Facebook friend posted this amazing declaration by my hero, Theo Colborn, author of Our Stolen Future and creator of the Endocrine Disruption Exchange. Please watch and tell your loved ones about this important and informative You Tube video:

Sandy,
thanks for sending out this alert. Hoping that more people view this video on Endocrine Disruption. We need these posts to alert people to the dangers of toxic chemicals that attack our bodies and minds.

Oh my, those grandchildren are adorable, Sandy. They would definitely be a good motivator to keep fighting the non-toxic fight. And I had no idea there was such a thing as endocrine disruptors. Thanks for posting the video. When she maps out the chronology, it makes perfect sense.

I know the U.S. is light years behind Europe in going green and recycling, but the whole plastic bag issue is just really a big embarrassment to the country. We started using cloth bags in 1988 and it really isn't that big of a deal to get used to, but such a huge deal for our planet!

First of all, your grandchildren are absolutely beautiful! I can see why they are behind your passion to clean up the environment. What a frightening message on this video. Such scary facts. It is such a shame that we are in this position, isn't it?
