Lead-safety Message: To protect our air, land, rivers and oceans from spreadable lead, the world needs to ban all leaded products that are easily dispersed. For example lead sinkers, ammunition, weights and old style lead acid batteries that leak.

Lead-safety Message: Apex predators like sharks biomagnify all the heavy metals like lead that their prey have bioaccumulated. Protect our oceans from leaded waste and stormwater and ban all leaded products like sinkers which might contaminate the sea.

Lead-safety Message: I have a vision that the 2023 NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into whether the NSW regulatory framework for heavy metals and critical minerals mining is fit for purpose, will not only stop Bowdens and other proposed lead mines, but will find that no new lead mines in NSW can be justified! Let’s use recycled lead (eg using government rebates to remove and recycle lead roof flashing so lead-safe rainwater can be collected) instead for our renewable energy projects!

Lead-safety Message: As we age, we can stop taking in new lead, keep our brains and bodies active, meditate, eat local, grow and prepare our own lead detox foods, take detox supplements and look after the planet in other ways, but to avert a climate crisis, we also need researchers to investigate what definitely removes lead from our brains and bodies so we can do that too!

Lead-safety Message: Anthony William’s 30 day heavy metal detox diet (eating mostly raw, preferably organic fruits and vegetables and a delicious wild blueberry and coriander smoothie each day), could actually make your blood lead level fall!
