text: Non-Toxic Kids: Kids in the Gulf (the looming environmental health crisis)
  May 30, 2010 Category: BlogAuthor: Katy
  (This is a powerful new post from a frequent contributor to Non-Toxic Kids, Alice Shabecoff. She is also the co-author with her husband Philip of the just-released book, Poisoned for Profit: How Toxins Are Making Our Children Chronically Ill. I share her deep concern for the health of children in the Gulf region, and feel we need to take immediate action to protect them.)
  What will we learn from this disaster? Will the costs in childhood cancer, birth defects, asthma, and dwindling male births be factored into our nation's future energy plans? This latest assault from the sea is one more reason that we need to act now to phase out oil from our economy and from our environment.
