"The choice, after all, is ours to make. If, after having endured much, we have at last asserted our 'right to know,' and if, knowing, we have concluded that we are being asked to take senseless and frightening risks, then we should no longer accept the counsel of those who tell us that we must fill our world with poisonous chemicals; we should look about and see what other course is open to us." (Silent Spring, 1962)

I have added some links:

National Resourse Defense Council is an interesting site which explains some of the stuff us people have done and how they are affecting our health and future generations health, our enviroment, and wildlife.

Toxic threats to a Childs development  is a fact sheet put together by physicians for social responsibility (they won the Nobel peace prize in 1985) for parents and future parents.
The infomation covers why children have a greater risk of toxic chemicals, reducing the risks from pesticides, reducing the risks of heavy metals, reducing the risks from solvents/paint varnishes etc. Using safer household products and safer building materials and furnishings.

I find great value in this site and its infomation. It adresses chemicals that leech out of plastics, And vapours that leech out of carpets, varnishs, paints and furnishings. As well as risks from the food we digest.  Throughout the site, links are given to sites that have more infomation on that particular topic.

Skin deep A enviromental working group site, where you can search specific ingredients used in cosmetics/shampoos/baby products etc and know health risks associated with the substances.

Fouride Action A New Zealand site, has info on Flouride in our water. I found this site when researching the little town we live in Petone which has water without the chlorine or flouride, and provides public taps so people from outside our area can fill up containers of Artisan water

Childrens Health Enviromental Coalition.
