We are excited to announce our media partnerships for ShiftCon 2014 with Breast Cancer Fund and Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, organizations that work to eliminate toxic chemicals from our lives.
About Breast Cancer Fund
The Breast Cancer Fund works to prevent breast cancer by eliminating our exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease.We translate the growing body of scientific evidence linking breast cancer and environmental exposures into public education and advocacy campaigns that protect our health and reduce breast cancer risk. We help transform how our society thinks about and uses chemicals and radiation, with the goal of preventing breast cancer and sustaining health and life.
We find practical solutions so that our children, grandchildren and planet can thrive.
About Campaign for Safe Cosmetics
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a broad-based coalition, housed at the Breast Cancer Fund, working to clean up the beauty aisle through public advocacy and market campaigns designed to eliminate dangerous chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive harm and other adverse health impacts from cosmetics and personal care products.
Since the Campaign was launched in 2004, we have educated millions of people about the problem of toxic chemicals in cosmetics, which has markedly increased demand for safer products. Now hundreds of companies fully disclose ingredients and avoid the use of cancer-causing chemicals, reproductive toxicants and other unsafe chemicals, demonstrating these practices are not only possible, but profitable.
The Campaign’s steering committee is made up of the Breast Cancer Fund, the Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow (represented by Clean Water Action), Friends of the Earth, and Women’s Voices for the Earth.
Breast Cancer Fund, Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, and ShiftCon believe that treating diseases should start at the causes not the symptoms. We want to pressure companies to phase out harmful chemicals that cause diseases such as cancer. Working together we believe we can make a difference in the exposure we all face to these toxins.
