News from EWG

In 2009 alone, we discovered that dozens of top baby products contain formaldehyde, that three out of five brand-name sunscreens either don’t protect skin from sun damage or contain hazardous chemicals—or both—and that some cell phones emit eight times more radiation than others.

What do these facts have in common? We wouldn’t know them without EWG’s one-of-a-kind research and consumer tools. Neither government nor industry will empower you to make healthy choices for yourself and your family on so many important issues like these.

EWG is ready to do more in 2010. Whether we have funding for this research is up to you. A donation today—even just $5—gives us the resources we need so that you and your family can reduce your exposure to toxins and the associated risk.

Donate today, and not only will a generous donor match your donation, but you’ll also receive a free “Dirty Dozen” magnet telling you which produce contains the most pesticides.

Click here to make a tax-deductible donation of $5 or more now so we can keep telling you how to limit your exposure to the harmful toxins found in the products you use every day. Remember, if you donate today, a generous donor will match your gift, doubling your impact!

Millions read our reports and access our databases. Hundreds of news outlets cover our research.

Why? Because this research is one-of-a-kind. EWG—not industry and not the government—is the only organization giving you the information you need to reduce your family’s exposure to toxins and exposure to risk.

Cell phones are a virtual necessity, but why not choose the safest one on the market? And why would I put sunscreen on my son if it’s not even going to protect him? We research a whole host of products—from shampoos to pesticides to canned tuna—so your family can make informed, healthy choices.

With the end of the year approaching, we’re making critical decisions about what types of research to fund in 2010. That’s why it’s so important for you to give now, so that we have the resources to produce the information you need.
