Children cannot protect
themselves. All adults-parents, grandparents, teachers,
government and elected officials, corporations and grassroots
organization representatives-are responsible for the health
and welfare of children. Children did not create the hazards
in their environment-we did. All of us are responsible for
cleaning
them up.

to the Center
for Health Environment and Justice's (CHEJ) "Preventing
Environmental Health Risks to Children: A Guidebook for
Parents and Other Who Care About Children."
