A Wake-Up Story from Healthy Child Healthy World.
Watch the above video from Healthy Child, Healthy World and heed the wake-up call to change the way we do “chemicals” in our world. Have you noticed the rise of asthma, learning disabilities, autism, cancer, and many other diseases?
Many of you know me for my green building articles but may not realize that I built my house using non or low toxic materials for my children. I am one of those parents who has children that have learning disabilities, ADD, JV diabetes, eczema, and asthma. I know parents who lost their children to cancer, and friends who are fighting cancer. Chemicals are in our air, the ground, in our food, and our water. We wear chemicals, eat chemicals, and sleep in chemicals. So, am I surprised at the rise in illness? No.
I know. Many of you feel overwhelmed with all the media scares and not knowing the truth. I feel the same way although I may seem more knowledgable than many. I am not a scientist, nor should I have to be. I feel your frustration because I feel it to. So what can we do together?
