What you can do

If you are a U.S. citizen

If you are not a U.S. citizen

Please contact U.S. President George W. Bush and EPA Administrator Steve Johnson and the White House Council on Environmental Quality and urge them to:

1. respond to PETA's HPV action alerts

2. re-examine the value and relevance of the EPA?s High Production Volume (HPV) chemical-testing program;

3. devote a substantially greater portion of HPV program funding toward the development and validation of non-animal test methods to replace the specific animal tests required under the HPV program and complies with the animal welfare measures detailed in the October 1999 agreement with PETA;

4. extend the moratorium on testing of individual chemicals until the EPA incorporates new non-animal test methods into the HPV program, and complies with the provisions of an October 1999 animal welfare agreement between the EPA and PETA.

Please tell them that you want the EPA to start protecting people and the environment from toxic chemicals and to stop demanding endless new animal tests for chemicals that are already known to be dangerous.
