Wer wir sind und was wir tun

Hallo zusammen

Wie die meisten von euch ja schon vernommen haben, habe ich die Organisation der Schweizer Spielgruppe von Kathrin uebernommen.

Fuer alle diejenigen, welche noch nie bei einem Treffen dabei waren, moechte ich hiermit einen Aufruf der Ermutigung rausschicken. Es waere schoen, wenn wir in Zukunft einige neue Gesichter begruessen koennten, nicht zuletzt, um nicht eines Tages einfach auszusterben, wenn alle unsere Kinder zur Schule gehen.

Im Moment treffen wir uns eher sporadisch da die Gruppe der regelmaessigen Teilnehmerinnen eher klein ist. Wir koennen die Treffen aber ohne Weiteres auch neuen Teilnehmerinnnen anpassen. Ich bin auch immer fuer Vorschlaege von neuen Spielplaetze oder anderen kinderfreundlichen Happenings offen.


Bis bald,
Sandra

Schadstoffe in Kinderjacken
Migros-Mode immer noch ein M giftiger

Download-Seite - 25. März, 2013
Neue Labortest-Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Migros-Kinderjacken der Marke Trevolution alarmierendeMenage  an Giftstoffen enthalten.
Die Schadstoffkonzentrationen übersteigen den gültigen gesetzlichen Grenzwert für Spielzeuge und Babyartikel um das bis zu 600-fache. Dies zeigt die heute von Greenpeace veröffentlichte Studie «Schadstoffe in Migros-Kinderjacken».

Schockierend hoch sind insbesondere die Mengen von Phthalaten, welche in den Reissverschlussanhängern gefunden wurden. Solche Anhänger werden von Kindern gerne in den Mund genommen.

Greenpeace fordert den Orangen Riesen auf, alle gefährlichen Chemikalien sofort aus sämtlichen Produkten und der ganzen Produktionskette zu verbannen und am globalen Detox-Lösungsprozess teilzunehmen. Nur so kann die von der Textilindustrie verursachte Umweltverschmutzung und Gefährdung von Menschen in den Produktions- und Konsumländern gestoppt werden. Mit ihrer Detox-Kampagne konnte die Umweltschutz- Organisation weltweit bereits 17 Unternehmen wie Zara, H&M, Marks & Spencers und Coop dazu bewegen, konkrete Massnahmen zu
