For the Health of Our Children

Healthy Child, Healthy World is an organization, a book, and a movement whose aim is promoting awareness and activism for the health of children in an age where harmful chemicals are truly a real threat to their tiny bodies and their lives. They exist, as stated from their facebook page, "because more than 125 million Americans, especially children, now face an historically unprecedented rise in chronic disease and illness such as cancer, autism, asthma, birth defects, ADD / ADHD, and learning and developmental disabilities. Credible scientific evidence increasingly points to environmental hazards and household chemicals as causing and contributing to many of these diseases. As a national leader for nearly two decades, Healthy Child Healthy World has become the nation's leading organization of its kind. We help millions of parents, educators, health professionals, and the general public take action to create healthy environments and embrace green, non-toxic steps."

Healthy Child Healthy World's latest call to act on behalf of our children comes in the form of an inspirational short video that I encourage each person who has a child they love to watch. This very short film, "A Wake Up Call," has to date been viewed over 30,000 times and they would like to see that number doubled by Earth Day 2010. Join a great cause by simply helping to spread a message that may very well improve the lives of those little ones you love so much. Please check it out and pass it on to everyone you know!
