"As we review the laws of the land which are written today, nowhere is it written that children have the right to a safe and clean environment. Nowhere is it written that children are protected from man-made chemicals that cause cancer; nowhere is it written that the parents of these children and other citizens of this country have the right-to-know what is in the food they eat, the water they drink and the air they breathe."

— Testimony of CHEC co-founder Nancy Chuda before the U.S. House of Representatives

It is important to educate elected officials about children’s environmental health issues and insure that they make protecting the health of children one of their highest priorities. Children are non-partisan, and rely upon all of us for their welfare.
