October is Children's Health Month

In addition to good nutrition and plenty of fun and exercise, all children need to breathe clean air, drink safe water, and live in healthy communities.  Children, by their very nature, deserve our focused attention and care. Their bodies are different than adults, their behaviors are different, and their interactions with the environment are different. Protecting the health of children is a compelling inducement to improving our environment, both during Children’s Health Month and throughout the year, in the United States and around the world.
