"Healthy Child - Healthy World!!
The 2 are so intricately intertwined - a reflection of each other - and this has been our goal since this organisation was started 16 years ago."

"I am honored to serve an organization that has such integrity and holds such a clear vision for how this planet could be: free and clear of environmental toxins. The time is now to make a change. Our children and theirs will be grateful for it later."
"Biologically speaking, our growing children are more ecological than we are: they are more vigorous participants in the food chain; they are more integrally involved with the world's water cycle; they are more deeply dependent on planetary oxygen supplies."
