Meryl Streep

Actress and Environmentalist

Meryl Streep, world famous film and stage actress, mother, and environmental activist, has dedicated so much of her time, talent and good will to so many worthy causes and is especially concerned about preserving and protecting the environment.

"Healthy Child Healthy World is one of those organizations that helps mothers and fathers connect the dots, to understand cause and effect. It came into existence not just to inform the public, but to energize it. That’s one of the things about Healthy Child I particularly like. While numerous activists are out there pushing for national changes such as reducing the pesticides in foods, higher standards for our drinking water, and tougher standards for lead exposure – and we absolutely need all that – Healthy Child focuses on what you and I can do right now as individuals. So much that’s out there now is about what you should not do; Healthy Child tries also to emphasize the healthful solutions you can follow, the positive things you can do for your family, your home, yourself.

When you become a parent, you start to notice what they're eating, what they're breathing, and children are like canaries in the mine. Healthy Child Healthy World is that place where parents can find out information about toxins that might be invisible to them in their environment."
