Healthy Child Healthy World presents at the Green Tent!
When well-meaning parents
embark on a mission to live a greener and healthier lifestyle, it’s easy for
them to be overwhelmed.
"There's so much to do!”
“I don't know where to start!”
“How
can I tell what’s safe and what’s not?"
Sound familiar? Maybe you’ve had
the same thought!
That’s where Healthy Child Healthy World comes
in. Healthy Child Healthy World are inspiring the movement to protect our children from
harmful chemicals with our 5 Easy Steps – simple things parents can do to
improve their home environment, such as choosing organic foods when possible
and using non-toxic household cleaners. They're here to say that it’s ok to take
things one step at a time, and you don’t need to change every aspect of your life
all at once.
The organization began after five-year-old Colette Chuda
died of a rare form of non-hereditary cancer linked to environmental factors;
her parents, Jim and Nancy Chuda, turned their grief into action in 1992.
One of the ways that they are
spreading their message is with their “Healthy Child Party Kit” program [http://healthychild.org/get-involved/healthy_home_parties/],
which will be displayed at the Green Booth. Stop by and have a chat with them about the simple steps we can
all take to create healthier homes, communities and families.
Hear about their great hands-on suggestions for creating a healthier home for families and hopefully inspire others
to do the same.
No one can do everything. Everyone can do
something. These are the words that embody the philosophy of Healthy Child Healthy
World. They will be at the booth on Sunday to talk to everyone at Mar Vista Green about the little
things you can do that taken together add up to big changes for a healthier
life.
