Make environment safer for children

Children should have a right to develop in an environment that allows them to reach their full potential. As adults, we have an ethical responsibility to provide a healthy and safe environment for our children. Yet somehow, we haven't been able to provide that safe environment.

Children do not get to choose that a toy is made with lead or cadmium. Toxic metals are permitted in plates, coffee mugs and cookware. Harmful chemicals and toxins are added to plastics that babies are exposed to.
