Please Take Action to Protect Our Parks from Toxic Waste tire products. NO TOXIC TURF.
BOYCOTT GAP, Old Navy, Banana Republic.
There is absolutely NO conclusive evidence that Toxic Waste tire derived products are Healthy.
Toxic Waste tires contain over 200 known and unknown chemicals. Many of these chemicals are known or presumed to be Cancer causing (view the NBC News Report). A number of others (Endocrine disruptive chemicals) are linked to Developmental Disorders in children (read the Lancet Article).
Why does the City of San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department put Toxic Waste tire products on children’s playfields and playgrounds? It could be, simply, that they can. Since Rec & Park management operates Our Parks as an Enterprise Agency and uses Private Partners as part of their strategic plan, it’s pretty clear that their #1 priority is Money. It’s a fact that Rec & Park gets paid to use Toxic Waste tire products in Our Parks. What they do with the money is anybody’s guess.
What can we do to Stop Toxic Turf and Toxic Waste tire products from being dumped in Our Parks?
