Happy 21st Birthday National Toxics Network!

Are you familiar with the work of the National Toxics Network? NTN is a fabulous network of people and organisations from across Australia, NZ and Pacific Islands working hard to ensure a toxic free future for all. Their head office is based in the Northern Rivers, NSW.

For 21 years NTN has worked on research and campaigns involving CSG, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, industrial waste, chemicals in products like BPA Bisphenol A and chemical pesticide spray drift just to name a few! 

 

The work of NTN has played such a big role in our own product research at Santos Organics. From the natural sunscreens that have been plagued by nanotechnology (link to previous article) to our attempts to source BPA free cans (link to BPA article) we really couldn’t do it without NTN! 

 

Although Santos Organics works hard to ensure the products we stock are as natural as possible there are so many chemicals that we are all exposed to everyday. NTN helps to reduce the presence of toxic chemicals in our environment and bodies by lobbying governments for systemic change in chemical regulations, doing the hard yards on boring committees and  publishing technical reports to help c and engaging communities more effectively engage with issues.
