Who should be responsible for toxic body care products leaching into the environment?

More and more research points to destruction of our environment from body care products. Who should be financially responsible for cleaning it up? Companies who make them, consumers who use them, or all of us through taxation for government clean-up? Published July 11, 2007: Chemicals found in household products like antibacterial soap and plastic bottles are found in sewage water that is discharged into San Francisco Bay, posing a threat to wildlife and humans, according to new data....The inspectors found three types of chemicals -- phthalates, bisphenol A and triclosan. All are suspected of interfering with hormone systems of humans and wildlife..."We're involved because we know that these compounds are out there, and we cannot treat them in the wastewater stream," said Charles Hardy, EBMUD spokesman.

1. Al Gore should be help responsible. After all, he is leading all of the environmental whackos on this crusade. Let him fix the problem. =) It is society in general and lack of accountability. We all just need to do our part. we cant go on a witch hunt.
