October is Breast Cancer PREVENTION month! Tell Newsom to get cancer-related microplastics and PFAS out of consumer products: bcpp.org/take-action/
Too right @MarkRuffalo @AndrewZimmern! A CA ban on PFAS in cookware not only protects us from toxic chemicals; it shows us that better cooking comes from better choices...like the safer affordable cookware already available. Tell @GavinNewsom bit.ly/stopPFAS682

Please put people ahead of #PFAS @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom. @andrewsimmern is right: we don’t need to poison our friends and neighbors to have non-stick pans.

2 of 2: Know that #PFAS #foreverchemicals have been linked to higher breast cancer risk. The Teflon pan is not worth the poisoning! Please share the NYT article & our action so you can tell Newsom yes on #SB682 bit.ly/stopPFAS682

PS: Here's our take on the claim by the cookware industry (opposing CA Senate bill 682) that PFAS in cookware is safe (spoiler alert: IT ISN'T!) bcpp.org/pfas-in-cookware-co…

Lots of people at our annual Hike for Prevention agree! We delivered their signed postcards to @CAgovernor yesterday urging him to sign SB 682. You can sign too here: bcpp.org/take-action/stop-to…

@CAGovernor to ban toxic forever PFAS in cookware by signing #SB682 bit.ly/stopPFAS682

Non-stick cookware is NOT safe. PFAS chemicals are toxic, linked with #cancer, #immunesuppression, #reproductiveharm. Affordable safer alternative cookware exists.
California is in a cost-of-living crisis. Rent is high. Groceries are expensive. Gas is up. And now Sacramento politicians want families to spend $300+ and small businesses even more to replace pots & pans that are already safe? Say NO to #SB682. #ProtectSafeCookware

Dear @NoOnSB682 @CalRestaurants Do you want people to be serving up food contaminated with non-stick chemicals linked to #cancer, #immunesuppression, #reproductive harm? When heated, PFAS can flake into food & release toxic fumes. Its not safe! #SB682protects our health by banning #PFAS in cookware.
.@GavinNewsom, Robin McCoy—owner of Oak Grove Culinary Creations & the Lydia Project food truck—uses her business to train at-risk & special needs youth. ❤️ She warns: “This legislation would take money out of our business… creating hardship for small businesses.” #NoOnSB682

Nonstick cookware often contain PFAS – toxic #foreverchemicals linked to serious health harms. When heated, PFAS can flake into food & release toxic fumes. #SB682 protects Californians from this danger: tell @CAGovernor to sign the bill! bit.ly/stopPFAS682

How unappetizing can you get: celeb chefs pushing toxic cookware! But safer alternatives exist so join us in telling @CAGovernor to ban toxic forever PFAS in cookware by signing #SB682 bit.ly/stopPFAS682
@ewg @cleanh2oaction @nrdc @CASA_CleanWater @BenAllenCA
Celebrity chefs want to kill @BenAllenCA's #SB682 that would ban dangerous PFAS from cookware in California. These chefs either sell or endorse cookware lines that use these ‘forever chemicals’, putting their personal profits over public health. on.nrdc.org/3K47cuB

Ever wondered if your Teflon pan was safe? Is non-stick cookware really ok? Check out our latest blog bcpp.org/pfas-in-cookware-co…. Then tell your CA Assemblymember to support the bill that phases it out of cookware: bcpp.org/take-action/stop-to…

@WebMD Another great way to stop microplastics is to stop intentional use of microbeads in Personal Care and Cleaning products. Tell CA Governor Newsom to support AB823 bit.ly/noMicroplasticsCA_AB8…
Microplastics—tiny pieces of plastic less than five millimeters—are everywhere: from water and soil to the air we breathe. On average, an American ingests, drinks, and breathes over 74,000 microplastic particles each year. While a plastic-free lifestyle may seem impossible, every small choice—like reducing single-use plastics or installing laundry filters—can make a real difference for your health: wb.md/41FDNNR

VICTORY! #AB823 (@asmtasha) bill to ban toxic #microplastics in cleaning & personal care products passed the CA Senate 39-0!
Hurray! Producers can no longer sell, offer for sale, distribute or import Expanded Polystyrene (styrofoam) food service ware in California. Styrene is linked to #breastcancer, so this is breast cancer prevention! See bcpp.org/resource/organic-so…
