Earthgarage.com Announces Petition Campaign to Ban Copper in Brake PadsFebruary 7, 2012 New York, NY, February 7, 2012 — Earthgarage.com, a consumer websitethat helps drivers make their cars “greener” has launched a state-by-state petition to ban copper and other hazardous materials in automotive brake pads. The “Give Water a Brake” campaign aims to highlight the fact that traditional brake pads consist of some 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.
