“I want you to act as if the house was on fire, because it is!” said young Greta Thunberg in her plea for climate action at the United Nations, shaking policymakers awake and demanding adults do something about climate change, including “287 chemicals found in unborn babies and the 82,000 chemicals allowed on the market without safety testing” that impact the health of our children and the planet.

Which of these choices will reduce toxic chemicals in a child’s room and play space?

  1. Plastic mats as a play surface.
  2. Plastic-free and toxic-free toys.
  3. Pajamas with flame retardants to protect against fire.
  4. Limited exposure to blue lights from electronics.
