Yet one powerful way of cleaning up a small bay of the chemical ocean is within our reach. We can vote with our purchases. It is the one thing to which industry pays attention.

How many Frisbees, footballs, and retriever dummies full of phthalates would they make, if these toys sat on the shelves?
