EWG newsletter: Come to Get Your Limited-Edition 2010 Holiday Gift Bag

Dear Reader,

Big changes are coming to Washington -- but EWG's core mission will never change.

When government and big business won't tell you about toxic products, EWG will give you the tools to hold them accountable and make healthy choices -- no matter who's running Washington.

We'll stand with either party to protect families from toxic chemicals and pollution, and we'll call out leaders who waste scarce tax dollars in environmentally harmful ways. And thanks to you, we're very good at what we do. Our plan is to get even better.

We rely on you -- our network of nearly one million supporters -- to get results and help us spread the latest environmental research and consumer tips you trust.

But to keep you informed, we need your help to meet our annual budget targets. Give $125 or more right now and we'll send you a limited-edition 2010 Holiday Gift Bag.

You'll get a reusable Chico shopping bag full of brand-new products like Klean Kanteen's insulated, wide-mouth bottle and The Earthbound Cook: 250 Recipes for Delicious Food and a Healthy Planet. Hurry -- supplies are limited.

Click here to send a $125 tax-deductible donation to EWG. You'll get our exclusive gift bag in time for the holidays AND your gift will be matched by a generous donor.

By purchasing a gift bag today, you will help EWG meet our 2010 budget and ensure that we have the money to continue our research in 2011. That is why a generous donor has agreed to match your gift dollar for dollar.

Don't miss this opportunity to double the impact you have on our efforts to empower consumers and change markets. You'll also enjoy this special gift bag full of products that are good for you, your family and the environment.

You count on EWG to give you the information you need to make smart choices about the products you use. That's why we do the tough research and public awareness campaigns needed to help you make informed decisions.

But keeping up with this research and outreach depends on your support -- especially when it's almost time to close the books for 2010. By purchasing the gift bag now, you ensure that we have the resources we need to keep doing the kind of research you depend on. Don't wait -- there is a limited supply of bags.
