#ecowed Lead and Handbags the 411

Last October I attended a BlogHer meet up in Washington D.C. for the documentary My Toxic Baby by Min Sook Lee (our green mom blogger portion was cut) and it was the first time I had ever met Jennifer Taggart, The Smart Mama. Alicia from The Soft Landing helped support my way to Washington and now look at the three of us, we’re the 3 Green Angels! Funny how things work out and come full circle, isn’t it?

After a long day and jet lag Jennifer, Jessica of The Green Phone Booth and I decided to do some XRF analyzing of toys and yes my purse. You can watch the video over at Green and Clean Mom and though we had some laughs, great drinks and lots of fun the toxic lead coated purse is not a laughing matter! Diane Sawyer recently did a report on this (guess she should have talked to us last year; we were ahead of the curve) and our pal and green expert, Dr. Greene rings in on the dangers of lead during the interview but now The Smart Mama is flying across country to do what…test handbags for lead!

On the heels of her trip across country (more on this Wednesday) and the importance of learning about the danger of lead our #ecowed party, January 27, 2010 will be focused on what other than: LEAD and HANDBAGS. So mama think about that fancy handbag you just lug over your should or that great knock of you see for $10!

RSVP and by leaving us a comment and you could win a eco-friendly non-toxic purse to replace the not to safe purse you might be toting!

  This is scary news. Is this plastic actually dangerous as we are just holding it -- not sucking on it Wouldn't it be inert and of no harm to anyone?
  
  What sort of plastic are you talking about? For instance, there are many purses made from old billboards -- are they leadmines?
