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

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. UPCOMING
