ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

TWO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVES

The products we use in our homes and institutions contain many chemicals that are hazardous to all forms of life. Environmental hazards such as water pollution, poor air quality, and exposure to toxic chemicals in every day products represent one of the greatest threats to ecosystems and the most vulnerable humans, especially children and the elderly. Voices for Earth is currently working on two environmental health initiatives.

1. " In partnership with the Adrian Dominican Sisters, and the National Council of Churches..."we are offering Holy Housekeeping workshops that consist of prayer (optional), a presentation on environmental health, particularly in regard to cleaning products, and opportunity for discussion. A booklet called Mindful Living: Human Health, Pollution, and Toxics is given to each person, as well as a reusable bag, and Holy Housekeeping cleaning materials with recipe cards. The recipes can be downloaded here:

Mindful Living: Human Health, Pollution, and Toxics is a publication of the National Council of churches. The booklets are free, and can be obtained from: www.nccecojustice.org/envhealthhome.htm

2. Voices for Earth Justice is an active member of the Michigan Network for Children's Environmental Health (www.mnceh.org). MNCEH is a coalition of health professionals, health-affected groups, environmental organizations, and others dedicated to a safe and less toxic world for Michigan's children. Through education, outreach, and advocacy, the coalition works to change current policies and practices that result in exposure of children to environmental toxicants.
