*[Enwl-eng] Laminate flooring is dangerous to children, families, workers, and the environment.

[ENWL]

                        Vinyl flooring is toxic from the moment it is produced, to the moment it is disposed of.

                        Do you live in a home with vinyl or fake wood flooring? If not, chances are you know someone who does.

                        What you might not have known is that vinyl flooring is horrifically toxic and dangerous - both for us and for the Earth.


                        Sign the petition to demand the U.S. government implement stricter regulations to protect consumers from toxic vinyl products!



                        To make vinyl flooring, companies use PVC, or a type of plastic produced using vinyl chloride. This is the same toxic chemical that recently polluted East Palestine, Ohio following a train derailment.



                        Production has been linked to explosions as well as workers developing various serious illnesses, including cancer. Then, once the finished products are installed in our homes, they poison us and our children, by absorbing into our bodies through the air we breathe and directly into exposed skin such as bare feet.



                        Once disposed of, these PVC products also pollute the environment, contaminating the air when they're burned, and soil and water when they're dumped into landfills.

                        We don't need to keep exposing ourselves, children, families, the environment, and workers to these hazards. Plenty of safe, sustainable alternatives exist. So why is the government allowing this to continue?



                        The U.S. government must step in and regulate this industry, now! Sign the petition to protect children, families, workers, and the Earth!

                        P.S. This type of fake-wood flooring is incredibly popular because it's cheap and readily available. But the dangers it poses are not worth the risks. Sign the petition.
