The second volume in the New York Times bestselling Green This! series, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care is a complete guide to raising healthy kids. Environmental activist and children's advocate Deirdre Imus addresses specific issues faced by children in every age group -- from infants to adolescents and beyond. With a focus on preventing rather than treating childhood illnesses, Deirdre concentrates on educating and empowering parents with information such as:

* How to make sure your child is vaccinated safely

* Which plastic bottles and toys are least toxic

* How to lobby for safer school environments and support children's environmental health studies

* Advice from leading "green" pediatricians and nationally recognized doctors such as Mehmet C. Oz, M.D.

Chock-full of research and advice, Growing Up Green makes it easy for you to introduce your child to the "living green" way of life.]]> 58309 3.52 161 60 2008 5 0 false Sat Aug 30 02:37:42 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 30 02:39:57 -0700 2008
