Cool Mom Picks: Help Us Save Handmade!

HELP!

Overview

We're all for strengthening the safety standards of mass-produced toys, clothes, and accessories made in China, and banning toxins like phthalates and lead. But this year, congress passed the ill-conceived Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act, a law which goes into effect in two months and will absolutely decimate the small toy manufacturers, independent artisans, and crafters who have already earned the public trust. The very same ones that we often feature here and in our yearly special edition gift guides.

With this act in effect starting February 10 2010 [edited to add: enforcement has be delayed one year from it's original scheduled date in 2009--sort of--but the guidelines remain in effect] so many people we love will be impacted: Moms who sew beautiful handmade waldorf dolls out of home, artists who have spent decades hand-carving trucks and cars out of natural woods, that guy at the craft show who sold you the cute handmade puzzle--even larger US companies who employ local workers and have not once had any sort of safety issue will no longer be able to sell their goods. Not without investing tens of thousands of dollars into third-party testing and labeling, just to prove that toys that never had a single toxic chemical in them still don't have a single toxic chemical in them.

Obama goes back to school - Yahoo! News

I'm absolutely fine with this- our students need to push themselves in school not on Wii Sports.

John Groff in Teen Vogue!

Maybe I'm the only guilty one who reads Teen Vouge, but when I did I was so surprised that J. Groff had his own page! (Run-on sentence much?) Did anyone else see? What do you think!?! Finally real talent is getting recognized.

John Groff played Melchior in the orignal cast of Spring Awakening. Google him for more info!

HA.

found it on theguiltyones.org

OMG! The SA logo and Titanic logo look so much alike.

Monkeys in Army Lab Need Your Help! | peta2.com

Sorry the link did not work the first time.

Monkeys in Army Lab Need Your Help! | peta2.com

Help the Monkeys!

I got this message from Peta2 thought it would be good to post it as a note just in case anyone wanted to help.

Monkeys Need Your Help!
Did you know that the U.S. Army conducts a lot of animal experiments? The U.S. Army is currently injecting toxic drugs and bacteria directly into live monkeys' eyelids! And records show that chemical and biological casualty care training exercises have caused monkeys' internal organs to burst.

Take action to help monkeys now, send a letter to your Congressional Representative here and ask them to stop military testing on animals here: http://www2.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=2352!
