It’s time Canada took chemical exposure more seriously. The United States just launched an important research project called the National Children's study. The long-term study will examine the environmental risks of 100,000 kids in various parts of the country. Its goal is to improve the health and well-being of children.

Currently, there is inconclusive evidence on how long-term chemical exposure affects humans, but existing studies show that problems may include reproductive disorders, developmental issues in children, hormonal disruptions and respiratory illnesses.  Some babies have already shown to have toxins in their body. We obviously need to know more about consumer contaminants.

Let's tell Canada’s new Health Minister Tony Clement to partner in this important study and include a Canadian cohort of 10,000 kids. Future generations are at stake. This Action is now Closed. Thank you for your support!

And while we're on the topic of keeping your home clean and green, the people of Ontario now have a great opportunity to move towards clean, renewable power sources. The province is phasing out dirty coal plants and under-performing nuclear stations, and soon Ontario must decide how to best meet future electricity demands. Join the Ontario Clean Air Alliance, Sierra Club of Canada and the David Suzuki Foundation and make the right choice for Ontario's energy future.
