Our goal is to educate all peoples to the truth about botanicals, from regulators to<br>potential consumers and everyone in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numerous federal agencies do everything they can to interfere with the right of consumers to<br>make informed choices about products they use for their health and well being. Their war on<br>botanicals and natural plants includes but is not limited to, distributing disinformation and<br>outright falsehoods that greatly mislead agency heads, policy makers, consumers and the<br>American public in general, as well as enacting bans that prohibit the safe consumption and<br>use. Our goal is to correct that through advocacy and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Protecting Natural Resources<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natural botanicals are a precious resource that are an important and valuable part of our<br>global ecosystem. We support the advocacy and the education that will encourage continued<br>sustainable harvesting techniques, including the reforestation and protection of all botanical<br>growth areas. We must encourage the continued protection of these delicate ecosystems and<br>forests, which will in turn better protect the climate and the invaluable carbon exchange these<br>areas provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Global Awareness<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Botanical detractors are trying to expand bans across the world. Our goal is to demonstrate<br>that responsible education on consumption and use of botanicals is the answer, not a ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Speaking the Truth on Botanicals<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We represent millions of Americans that each have a story to tell. Government agencies and<br>detractors want to drown out the individual voices, but we will raise those voices and together<br>we will be heard across America and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For additional Information:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For additional information: <a href=\"mailto:info@botanicalae.org\">info@botanicalae.org<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mission Statement Botanical Advocacy and Education is a nonprofit that has been formed to reenergizegrassroots advocacy and education for the purpose of protecting the right of all Americans touse natural, unadulterated botanicals for the purposes they choose.
