穿上戴奧辛

我們用化學物漂白我們的食物、頭髮、牙齒；
甚至我們的皮膚，我們用更危險的化學物漂白

我們的紙張、布料、尿布和衛生棉等，
只為了讓它們看起來更舒服。
就拿紙張來說，在紙張經過氯化漂白的過程中，
會釋放大量化工成份到我們的環境中，
其中包括世上最毒的化學物之一—戴奧辛。

戴奧辛是一種致癌物質，据估計，
美國每天死於癌症的100–1400人與戴奧辛相關。
除癌症以外，戴奧辛還會導致嚴重的生殖及發育問題如畸形兒，
不孕或生殖能力下降等，它也會破壞免疫系統及干擾賀爾蒙系統。

生產紙張和衛生棉所用的紙漿大都經過氯化漂白，
每一天有數噸的紙制品和衛生棉等產品被生產及被丟棄，
最終被沖到大海，被運到焚燒場或堆積在垃圾場，
繼續釋放戴奧辛到我們的環境中。戴奧辛會進入植物、
動物及海洋生物內，進一步污染食物鏈...

拒絕漂白！選擇無漂白的環保紙;
用手帕取代衛生紙;用面巾取代紙巾;
使用無氯化衛生棉及有機棉制成的無漂白棉衣...
讓我們一起來還地球一個清白。

Wearing dioxin ?

We want everything white. White rice, white bread, white sugar...
We demand whiter skin, whiter papers, whiter shirts... Now,
find out what it takes to be white.

We use chemicals to bleach our food, our hair our teeth and even our skin.
More hazardous ones are used to bleach our paper,
clothes, baby diapers and sanitary products, just to please our eyes.

The whitening process for paper pulp for instance,
involve chlorine bleaching, an industrial chemicals into our environment,
including one of the most toxic chemicals on Earth–Dioxin.

Dioxin is a potent cancer-causing agent.
It is estimated that 100-1,400 cancer deaths in the
US occurring daily are attributable to dioxin. In addition to cancer,
exposure to dioxin can also cause severe reproductive and
developmental problems such as birth defects, inability to maintain pregnancy,
decreased fertility, reduced sperm counts, endometriosis and learning disabilities.
Dioxin is also well-know for its ability to damage our immune
system and interfere with our hormonal systems.

Paper pulp is used to produce paper and sanitary products
which are often chlorine bleached. Tons of these products are
being produced and disposed everyday. Some of the residues are flushed out to the sea,
some are incinerated or deposited in landfill sites,
and continue to release dioxin to our environment.
Dioxin can be absorbed or consumed by plants, animals and marine life,
which ten contaminate our food chain.

Stop bleaching! Choose unbleached, eco-friendly paper.
Use handkerchief instead of paper towel.
Use chlorine-free sanitary products or organic tampon,
and wear cloths made of organic cotton.

Over 96% of our dioxin exposure comes from eating meat, dairy products,
eggs and fishes. Dioxin particles from incinerators and industrial plants
travel far and wide, eventually settling and contaminating our soil, water and plants.
Because it does not break down easily,
over time it accumulates in the environment and is eaten and
stored in the fatty tissue of animals and then ended up in human body.

Stop tissue paper. Tissue products make u a large portion of the paper products industry.
Beside bleaching, tissue paper is often added with synthetic fragrance.

Unlike printed paper that can be recycled, tissue paper can only be used once.
Start today by saying NO to tissue paper and use the eco-friendly cotton handkerchief.

實踐環保生活，緊記「 環保4R」

• Reduce 減 少 使 用
  減 少 使 用 或 購 買 不 必 要 的 東 西 , 就 不 用 考 慮 如 何 處 理 廢 物 。
  
• Reuse 物 盡 其 用
  不 要 隨 便 丟 棄 有 用 的 東 西 ， 物 盡 其 用 ， 廢 物 自 然 大 減 。
• Recycle 循 環 再 用
  把 自 已 沒 用 而 完 好 的 東 西 送 給 有 需 要 的 人 ； 把 破 損 而 可 回 收 的 東 西 回 收 ， 再 造 成 有 用 的 物 品 ， 重 覆 運 用 資 源 。
• Replace 替 代 使 用
  採 用 較 環 保 的 物 品 或 生 活 方 式 ， 例 如 以 手 巾 取 代 紙 巾 、 乘 搭 公 共 交 通 工 具 代 替 私 家 車 。
