Women's Environment Network Australia

The Women's Environment Network Australia is an organisation that seeks to amplify women's voices for the environment.

Women are the most likely to respond to surveys as concerned about the environment and represent the majority of people who actively volunteer on environmental projects. Yet this interest is not reflected in formal decision making settings.

Our intention is to remedy this situation by supporting women to confidently have their say on our common future as well as supporting their voices and actions to make a difference for the health of the environment.

BPA, baby bottles and food containers

 

In Canada it is banned, in the USA they have laws in the pipeline to do the same (and many manufacturers have responded to community concerns by removing it from their products), yet in Australia regulators fail to see the risks posed by BPA.

 

It is found in many hard plastics, such as baby bottles, reusable drinking bottles, cans of food and microwaveable containers.BPA has been found to transfer from the plastic to the food/drink and then into the human body.
