Healthy Child, Healthy World

Creating a Cleaner, Greener, Safer Home
Christopher Gavigan

The eco-guide for parents and busy caretakers, written by experienced experts.

This book features solutions for all stages of parenting, from pregnancy and beyond. It contains much of the same material as other green guides, but is written specifically for parents, so it includes child-specific data and recommendations that are missing elsewhere. Topics covered include preparing for baby, cleaning house, healthy food, body care, toys, clothing, garden, clean water and air, and pets--all written with a child in mind. This book is written by the CEO of Healthy Child, Healthy World. Founded in 1991, this nonprofit foundation has been collecting ideas from top scientists and academic institutions on how families can best protect their children from hazards in their everyday environments for almost two decades. This book is the distillation of their many years of research and experience.
