CHEJ Launches Campaign Against "The Poison Plastic"
by Jeff McIntire-Strasburg, St. Louis, MO on 10.11.06
The Center for Health, Environment and Justice launched a new campaign today targeting PVC -- or, as they call it, "The Poison Plastic." The campaign website, PVCFree.org, features the Flash video "Sam Suds, and the Case of PVC, the Poison Plastic," created by Free Range Studios of Berkeley and Washington, D.C. (the same folks that created "The Meatrix" videos, and "Store Wars"). CHEJ also invites users to take action by emailing Target to request that the discount store chain follow the lead of Wal-Mart, Nike, and Ikea by phasing out products made from PVC. Live events will be held at Target stores around the US today in conjunction with the website's premier. ::"PVC: The Poison Plastic" from the Center for Health, Environment and Justice
