Make Schools a Healthy Place for Kids


Schools should be a safe and healthy place for kids to grow and learn. Unfortunately, many schools lag in making sure that children are not exposed to pesticides, contaminated drinking water, lead paint or indoor air pollution. There are lots of opportunities to work for healthy schools—either by organizing parents in your local school or by advocating for local or state policies that ban or restrict unhealthy practices.
