Give Water A Brake!
Traditional brake pads are made of some really nasty materials including asbestos, lead, antimony and copper. Every time a driver steps on the brakes, these materials come off the pads in the form of brake dust. When these toxic materials are released into the air, they work their way into the water table and contaminate the water supply for animals and humans alike.
California and Washington have already passed legislation that will eventually remove all copper from brake pads. Rhode Island and New York have introduced similar bills that have not yet been passed.
We believe this legislation should be in effect throughout the U.S. and Canada. Together we can put pressure on our legislators to remove these toxic materials from the food we eat and the air we breathe.
Sign the petition and tell legislators to give us a brake that won't destroy the environment. Together we can make a difference. After you sign, be sure to spread the word to your friends and family.
The Give Water a Brake! initiative is sponsored by EcoStop, the only copper-free ceramic brake pad currently on the market.
Thanks!
