I posted this from both you and burbanmom on my blog. Of course, I am new and don't quite have the readership you very-crunchy girls have, but every little bit counts and I WILL be sending you my Brita filters. I am so disgusted with Brita / Clorox. Apparently sniffing all that bleach has caused some permanent damage! Good luck with the campaign! Thanks Beth! I posted this from both you and burbanmom on my blog.

The BPA issue has gotten enough media attention to be an "Urgent Issue" at a Fortune 500 company! I'd repost all the news here, but it's quite a lot. Just check out the latest post on my blog for the info. It totally encouraged me to keep spreading awareness and signing petitions, and I hope it does for you guys too!

Brita US is owned by Clorox. Appalling because they are out their pushing their "Greenworks" line of eco-friendly cleaning products. Sound like a bit more of the corporate America saying how good we are while cutting down the playground swing? Well I say lets go one further...Until Clorox agrees to take back their Brita Filters, I say everyone boycott Clorox products. That would get their attention.
