"What’s becoming increasingly clear is that environmental exposures are likely driving the rise in early-onset breast cancer... If we invested in prevention the way we invest in treatments, we could save more lives by helping women avoid a breast cancer diagnosis in the first place.”

"Imagine a future where manufacturers use chemicals that don’t make us sick and where government agencies hold companies accountable. When we provide decision-makers with the science linking chemical exposures with breast cancer, we give them the tools to build a safer future for us all."

"We need to ensure ongoing, continuing medical education aimed at engaging doctors and nurses in environmental risk factors for cancer. Many cancers can be prevented by reducing harmful exposures. It’s time for doctors and patients to talk about these opportunities, to make these conversations an integral part of routine care."

"People have a right to know about chemicals in their bodies, their homes, and their communities that could harm their health. Silent Spring's digital tools will provide individuals with a new level of personalized feedback to help them take action and stay healthy."

"By supporting Silent Spring, you are making the invisible visible. You are helping reveal the harmful chemicals hiding in our products, homes, and bodies, so we can hold manufacturers accountable and change policies to protect you and your loved ones from harm."
