OUR SIMPLE THEORY IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT THE REALITY IN TODAY'S CHEMICAL SAFETY REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT. OUR SCIENCE PROGRAM HAS TWO PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: FIRST, TO INFLUENCE CONSUMER BEHAVIOR BY DIRECTLY INFORMING AND MOTIVATING A LARGE AUDIENCE TO ADOPT HABITS OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, USING ORIGINAL RESEARCH ABOUT CHEMICALS OF CONCERN FOUND IN EVERYDAY ENVIRONMENTS. SECOND, TO INFLUENCE MASS MARKET CHANGE BY DISRUPTING THE FOOD, HOUSEHOLD CLEANER, AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCT MARKETS THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH ON TOXIC INGREDIENTS AND CONSUMER PRESSURE FOR SAFER ALTERNATIVES.OUR SCIENCE PROGRAM IS WORKING TO PRODUCE CUTTING-EDGE, NEWSWORTHY RESEARCH AND CONSUMER EDUCATION PROJECTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH TO EDUCATE CITIZEN ACTIVISTS, MOVE MARKETS AND GENERATE DEBATE ON CHEMICAL POLICY REFORM. EWG HAS A DEDICATED TEAM OF SCIENTISTS WITH EXPERTISE IN TOXICOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, PUBLIC HEALTH AND NUTRITION. OUR TEAM OF A DOZEN EXPERTS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST RECOGNIZED IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD.FROM THE TOP RESEARCHERS ON ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, TO AN AWARD WINNING GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS SHOP, TO COPYWRITERS TO HELP US TELL OUR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH STORIES TO A ROBUST ONLINE COMMUNITY OF MILLIONS OF CONSUMERS - EWG IS INSPIRING CHANGE, BOTH BIG AND SMALL. THROUGH OUR HABIT CHANGING GUIDANCE, TO OUR MARKET AND POLICY MOVING SCIENCE WE ARE TRANSFORMING THE PERCEPTION THAT HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS A LUXURY AND REDEFINING IT AS A NECESSITY.BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE IN AN "ENVIRONMENT" WE CAN TRUST. 3147496 11022 WATER AND AGRICULTURE - AT EWG WE WANT YOU TO GET TO KNOW THIS ENVIRONMENT SO YOU CAN BETTER PROTECT YOUR HEALTH. EWG BELIEVES HEALTHY PEOPLE START WITH HEALTHY LAND. OUR CONSERVATION PROGRAM WORKS TO PROTECT THE SOURCE OF OUR FOOD: OUR SOIL AND WATER. THIS INCLUDES ONGOING PROJECTS TO PROTECT DRINKING WATER FROM AGRICULTURAL POLLUTION, FRACKING CHEMICALS, AND OIL AND GAS DRILLING; AND TO PROTECT SOIL FROM PESTICIDES, EROSION AND CONTAMINATION FROM THESE SAME INDUSTRIES. WE DO THIS WORK TO PROTECT OUR NATURAL RESOURCES BECAUSE THEY ARE VITAL AND IRREPLACEABLE, BUT ALSO BECAUSE POLLUTION IN OUR ENVIRONMENT INEVITABLY BECOMES POLLUTION IN OUR BODIES.EWG IS WORKING TO TRANSFORM U.S. AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR FARMLAND AND ULTIMATELY OUR DINNER TABLES. OUR GOAL IS TO ILLUSTRATE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BROKEN U.S. AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM, FARM SUBSIDIES, AND THE DAMAGE BEING DONE TO OUR LAND AND HEALTH, SUCH AS WATER QUALITY DEGRADATION, SOIL EROSION, AND THE INCREASING LACK OF ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD AND FRESH PRODUCE FOR TODAY'S FAMILIES.
