Take a tip from the Canadians. In a new report, the Canadian Partnership for Children's Health and Environment (CPCHE) recommends five actions that can help parents reduce the most common sources of toxic exposure in their kids. These are simple and often money saving modifications to regular household chores — good for kids and good for the environment.
