Our children are under chemical siege right from the time they’re born. Chemical fumes from their crib mattress, their toys, their clothes, the carpet in their nursery, plastic baby bottles, the rest of the air in the house, the outdoor air – they’re surrounded. Time to call the Cavalry!
Two of the most powerful organizations dedicated to reversing this trend, GREENGUARD and Healthy Child Healthy World, have had our backs in this battle for a long time. And, as of today, they are partnering up to spread the word.
We are delighted at this partnership and are strong supporters of the invaluable work done by both organizations.
In fact, we are proud to say that Naturepedic baby crib mattresses are the only crib mattresses certified by GREENGUARD and recommended by Healthy Child Healthy World.
In case you’re not familiar with Healthy Child Healthy World or GREENGUARD, here’s little info about both organizations:
“Healthy Child Healthy World is a national, nonprofit organization that inspires parents to protect young children from harmful chemicals. The organization exists because more than 125 million Americans, predominantly children, now face a historically unprecedented rise in chronic diseases and illnesses such as cancer, autism, asthma, allergies, birth defects, ADHD, obesity, diabetes, and learning and developmental disabilities. Credible scientific evidence increasingly points to environmental hazards and household chemicals as causing and contributing to many of these diseases. Healthy Child Healthy World aims to educate parents, support protective policies and engage communities to make responsible decisions, simple everyday choices and well-informed lifestyle improvements to create healthy environments where children and families can flourish.”
“The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute is an industry-independent, third-party, not-for-profit organization that aims to improve human health and quality of life through programs that reduce people’s exposure to chemicals and other pollutants. The GREENGUARD Certification Programs certify products for low chemical emissions and provide consumers with a resource for choosing healthier products and materials for indoor environments. All certified products must meet stringent standards for low chemical emissions based on established criteria from key public health agencies. GREENGUARD Certification is broadly recognized and accepted by sustainable building programs and building codes worldwide. For more information and a complete listing of certified products, visit www.greenguard.org.”
You can’t go wrong with a crib mattress that is recommended and/or certified by these organizations. And that’s us.
Spread the word – just think what it could do for your children, and our future.
