Hi Karen – Thanks for your post! Though the word ‘toxic’ is usually an adjective, in our line of advocacy work it is often also used as a noun. You can also see Merriam-Webster’s definition of toxic as a noun here: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/toxic. “Toxics” is also featured in EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics http://www.epa.gov/oppt/. We hope you can still support the campaign. Best!

How about using the correct terminology–toxic is an adjective, and not a noun, therefore, cannot be plural. The correct term would be “toxins” so the better message would be “Spread Love, Not Toxins!” Sorry, just isn’t as credible when it’s incorrect!
