GreenPlanet readers. We think its important to use our voices in advocating for environmentally conscience change. We're support EWG's petition demanding the removal of BPA epoxy from canned food linings. The petition reaches more than 75 brands, including Target's Market Pantry and Bush's.
Over the last 20 years, scientists have shown that bisphenol A, or BPA mimics estrogen, and may therefore lead to a number of serious illnesses, including breast cancer, reproductive damage, developmental problems and heart disease.
Let's put and end to the use of this toxin in food canning and help EWA reach their goal of more than 50,000 signatures!

Because there are no federal regulations requiring manufacturers to label their products so that consumers can identify cans with BPA-based linings, it's up to us – American consumers – to take matters into our own hands and demand a change.
