About this product

Product Information

Leading medical experts and scientists team up with celebrity activists to help parents detoxify and green their households. Nothing makes one more keenly aware of health risks lurking in the everyday world than becoming a parent. Most know the importance of using cabinet locks and child gates, but research is showing many more ways we need to be childproofing our homes. Tens of millions of American children now face chronic diseases and illnesses including cancer, autism, asthma, birth defects, ADD/ADHD, allergies, learning and developmental disabilities, as well as a host of lesser but disruptive ailments. And the growing research points to much of the increases on unseen threats wrought by exposure to chemicals in everyday products like cleaning supplies, beauty care and cosmetics, home furnishings, plastics, some foods and toys as contributing to these ailments. With that in mind, the non-profit organization Healthy Child Healthy World offers parents a definitive guide to creating a healthy, nontoxic, and environmentally sound home. Filled with easy steps and simple solutions to improve family living without wreaking havoc on schedules or budgets, this book includes inspiring ideas for safe, eco-friendly cleaning methods, choosing healthier food, pet and garden care, nursery and home building materials, plus extensive tips for energy saving and family fun. With contributions from environmental science and public-health experts such as Dr. Phil Landrigan, Dr. Harvey Karp and Dr. Alan Greene, as well as many celebrity supporters (including Gwyneth Paltrow, Brooke Shields, Tobey Maguire, Sheryl Crow, Vanessa Williams, and Tom Hanks), "Healthy Child Healthy World" is theessential guidebook for parents wanting to go green.

I am buying one for all of my friends who are mothers!
This book was recommended on the Seventh Generation e-newsletter that I receive. I bought one for myself, then 3 more for my close girlfriends, then another for a babyshower gift and I still want more (at a great price of course)! Anyone who has health issues/concerns should take a look at this book. Even if you don't have kids. But remember "You can't do everything, but everyone can do something".

Good book for reference
This book is a great reference and resouce, full of general knowledge to safeguard your kids from hidden harm. It provides you with helpful tips on live a "greener" lifestyle and protecting your child from things that have been like to Cancer and Autism in children. I thought is was well written and easy to read.
