As you prepare for school this year, consider providing your child with safer school supplies.
"Your child’s innocent-looking lunch box or binder could contain chemicals linked to learning disabilities, obesity, asthma, and even cancer. That’s because many school supplies are manufactured using the poison plastic: polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This plastic can contain a toxic stew of phthalates, lead, cadmium, and organotins. To the developing body of a child, even a small exposure to these toxicants can be dangerous.
