MNCHEC is the only state chapter of the Children's Health Environmental Coalition, a national non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public, specifically parents and caregivers, about environmental toxins that affect children's health.

CHEC's ultimate goal is to eliminate children's exposure to man-made toxic substances by ensuring everyone’s right-to-know what is in their air, food, water and commercial products. We are working to achieve this goal through increased scientific research, government policies which are more protective of children, and educating and mobilizing individuals — like you — around the country.

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.

from the introduction 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."
