Erin Brockovich claimed fame in the legal world when she worked on a team that won the largest settlement ever paid in a direct action lawsuit in the United States, but it wasn’t until Julia Roberts took to the screen to recreate the events that Brockovich became a household name. Since then she’s secured her position as an important environmental activist and used her notoriety to help others around the country, and Brockovich’s latest efforts with the Seventh Generation Million Baby Crawl fit perfectly with her philosophy that every person has the right to the truth about potential health (and environmental) dangers.

The Million Baby Crawl is a campaign spearheaded by Seventh Generation to get the government working on stronger chemical laws that would ensure children—who are especially vulnerable to many of the toxic ingredients in  household products—wouldn’t be endangered by everyday products. As both a mother of three and an advocate for the consumer’s right to be informed about what’s in the products they buy, Erin Brockovich jumping on board to aid the campaign is no surprise (especially not when she’s joining the ranks of fellow campaign partners like Dr. Alan Greene, the well known eco-friendly baby book author).

Erin Brockovich and Dr. Greene will be backing the Million Baby Crawl as it makes its way to lawmakers in Washington, but your help is just as crucial as theirs. At its core the Million Baby Crawl is a petition, one that aims to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act so that dangerous chemicals are removed from household products and safety testing is implemented to ensure that Americans aren’t at risk from ingredients they aren’t even informed about. By signing up on the Million Baby Crawl website, you can add your name to the list of people who want to see a safer world for all of us. And don’t forget to take steps to eliminate toxic chemicals in your own home, too, by purchasing brands that have made it a point to use natural ingredients and offer true consumer transparency (like Seventh Generation!).
