Donate $1 and help film get made that can change lives
What if we Americans asked ourselves the same question Ed and Lauren did: “What if the health problems I’ve encountered in my life were due to the environmental toxins and other chemicals that my body couldn’t handle? Could that be why this illness happened to me, or perhaps a loved one in my family?”
- Before you walked out your front door this morning, you likely ingested, absorbed, or inhaled more than 150 unique synthetic chemicals.
- Americans assume that chemicals used to make ordinary products are tested for safety — but they are not. This movie makes it impossible for corporations and the chemical industry to hide behind the numbers.
- Health care costs in the United States are over $2 trillion, and we are on what has been described as a “toxic treadmill.”
- Globally, disease rates are on the rise, and theories abound to address the causes—yet the issues are complex and often muddied by the maneuvering of political and corporate interests. This film explores these issues through the eyes of a father and his personal journey, as he attempts to bring these issues to light for all parents. The primary goal? To see if we can prevent disease before it happens.
Unacceptable Levels, involves 35 of the biggest nonprofit organizations studying this issue worldwide. The film encapsulates the problem of chemical exposures at low levels and introduces us to a new level of understanding about what this means.
The film is fully completed, but there’s much more work to be done before it can be distributed. The Unacceptable Levels team needs to raise $50,000 to help them get this film into theaters.
You can help. Donate $1 or more to the Unacceptable Levels IndieGoGo fundraising campaign between 10/18/12 – 11/6/12 and you will be entered to win a package of health, safe goodies valued at $2,200. One winner will be drawn at the close of the campaign and announced on November 7, 2012. The contest is open to US residents only.
Problems can’t be dealt with until they are known. This film may be the catalyst to create change. Isn’t that worth at least $1 to you?
