1.7 million children die every year due to polluted environment: WHO

Imagine what could be accomplished if a fraction of the 20 million of us in the global chemical enterprise (according to the International Labour Organization) and our networks mobilized ourselves collectively to make a difference. What solutions might we devise and implement? What influence might we have on those who are already tasked with addressing this tragedy? Think globally; act locally.
