Jessica Alba was proud to be an American on Tuesday when she attended a press conference in the nation’s capital to support the Safe Chemicals Act.
The bill, introduced by Senator Frank Lautenberg, would overhaul the way the federal government protects the public from dangerous toxic chemicals found in too many consumer products.
The actress, pregnant with her second child, hopes to help pass the “common sense law” through Congress before her next child is born.
While speaking on behalf of the issue, she says motherhood made her research the issue and get involved, saying:
“Four years ago I became pregnant for the first time, and as I’m sure any mother would agree, it immediately changes the way you look at things. [You] avoid anything that can be harmful to your child, particularly pesticides, alcohol, tobacco, the stuff that we’re all aware of. Thankfully my daughter Honor was born healthy and I wanted to provide the healthiest environment for her at home.”
Clearly, Jessica’s family comes first, but she’s doing the best she can to protect other families as well by supporting this bill.
