Quickie post here, to give y'all a heads up about an effort from Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families to put some pressure on Walgreens to join the slowly-building retail movement to clean up their shelves.
According to SCHF, folks in 45 cities across North America today will speak up against the toxic chemicals in cosmetics and personal products. The organization also has provided this web letter that goes directly to Walgreens CEO Gregory Wasson.
Again, consumers wield considerably more power than they will acknowledge, and this is an important example of making retailers work for us, instead of the other way around. Let's tell them how we want things, what we want to buy and how much we'll spend. If we make enough noise, they have no choice but to listen.
Yours in informed activism,
Jazzy
