Listen to Filmmaker Ed Brown in this Green Divas Radio Show Green Dude segment…

Unacceptable levels of chemicals are in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat . . . Even the things we put on our skin!

Over 80,000 chemicals flow through our system of commerce—many of which have never been tested for safety—and, in many cases straight into our bodies.

And regular guy Ed Brown from Pennsylvania—concerned about the toxic chemicals his family was being exposed to every day—made a documentary film about it.

He traveled around the country on a shoe string budget to interview top minds in the fields of science, advocacy and law and learned there are unacceptable levels of toxic chemicals in so many things.  Even our bodies— synthetic industrial (and, you guessed it, toxic) chemicals interact with our cells every single day. Even our unborn children are affected with babies being born “pre-polluted.”

His documentary dissects the ways chemicals saturate our homes and environment amid a backdrop of lax regulation. It chronicles the results of the post-WWII chemical boom and details common avenues of exposure, from food and water to beauty products.

What others are saying about the film…

“Unacceptable Levels is a hugely important film… Sadly, most Americans are misinformed or not informed at all about how many toxic chemicals we are being exposed to 24 hours a day. These toxins are making us sick and quite simply our lives are being threatened. We need to stand up and speak out. We must demand a healthy environment for ourselves and for our children. Unacceptable Levels poignantly reveals how chemicals have invaded our lives.”

“This movie makes it impossible to hide behind the numbers. It not only changes the way that you look at the world, but the way that we look at ourselves.”

“This film is a huge eye-opener! Once a parent sees this, they thankfully won’t ever approach their child’s health & future the same way ever again!”
