Like other mothers, Jessica Alba wants her kids safe. Unlike other moms though, she more than just provides their needs and gets them cleaned. She also rallies to convince the US government to limit the harmful chemicals used in baby items.
On the Ellen DeGeneres show, the Dark Angel star said she’s going to Washington DC next week to campaign for toxic reform in front of the members of the US Congress. Jessica will join the organization called Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families for the cause.
Now pregnant of her second child, Jessica fist knew about the harmful toxins on baby products when she was still carrying her first daughter, Honor. She said that she researched and found out about the toxic chemicals on baby items and that they can cause unnecessary harm to kids and families.
Believing that it should be given that baby products are safe, Jessica hopes the Congress will get convinced to raise the limit of toxins in baby items. And for the sake of all the kids and their families, hopefully, the government will indeed listen and that other mothers will go green and support the cause as well.
