Ever wonder if you can really, truly make a difference in an effort for national policy reform? I mean, it’s a big country, right?

Do policy makers really care that you fervently believe that chemicals should be kid-safe, not hazardous to their health?

YES. YES. YES.

And when we speak together, we’re even more effective.

Tell Congress to put toxics on its “to do” list NOW
Join 55,000 other concerned Americans who have already signed this historic petition.

Let’s make it crystal clear that you want an effective national chemicals policy that protects human health, especially our children who are most affected by toxic chemicals. We know you’re frustrated by the current system. So let’s change it.

Numbers talk: 75,000 signatures is our goal
We want to deliver this petition to key lawmakers on Capitol Hill with 75,000 signatures - including yours - to show them how BIG and PASSIONATE this kid-safe movement has become. Can you help us…

On Saturday, February 27 2010, the western coast of South America was hit with a record-setting 8.8 scale earthquake – devastating the central region of Chile and killing over 700 people and sending waves of panic across the Pacific – fears of tsunamis reminiscent of the 2005 Southeast Asia disaster.

The Chilean cities closest to the epicenter, including Concepcion, Talcahuano and Temuco as well as a number of small towns along the country’s central coast were most affected by the quake.

The good thing: Chile’s preparedness, including its strict anti-seismic building codes and rapid emergency response from the government as well as the help from a number of organizations can be credited for managing the situation and help minimize the damage. The country’s tourism infrastructure has, overall, fared well, reporting little damage.

On Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 8:30 p.m., all 60 of Fairmont’s landmark hotels and resorts around the world will participate in the global message to raise energy conservation and climate change awareness by turning off their lights for one hour.

This will be Fairmont’s third year in a row participating in the global event.
