In only 8 days the European Parliament will be voting on a vital chemical law (known as REACH) on 17 November 2005. This law should protect our health and environment from toxic pollution. But dirty industry lobbying is threatening REACH. The chemical industry wants to continue the use of thousands of chemicals without telling us what the effects these chemicals would have on our health or environment. The chemicals industry lobby wants hazardous chemicals used even when safer substitutes exist.

This vote is vital to the future of the REACH and I need your voice to show that EU citizens want a law that protects our health and environment. Please help us and urge the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to vote for a strong law that truly protects us from hazardous chemicals.

If you have digital image of yourself or your family please add your picture to the virtual gallery showing that real people want to end chemical contamination.

We will personally deliver these pictures to MEPs on the day of the vote.

If you don't have a digital image please email your MEP at http://www.chemicalreaction.org/

Thank you for your support - together we can make a difference. Please spread the word by sending this email to all your friends.

Kind regards,
