Healthy Child's board member and activist Laura Dern spoke with Delicious Living Magazine on living a green and healthy lifestyle. The actress and eco-friendly mother shared her experience making changes in her home and teaching her kids about being earth friendly.

"Even before I had children, I thought it was fascinating that people put locks underneath their kitchen sinks because they're terrified that kids will get into whatever is down there. Why do we have things in our houses that we breathe in and let our dogs lick but that can kill children? As I learned more about the outrageous rise of chemical toxins, it was shocking and eye opening to me, but also, I felt overwhelmed. I fell in love with Healthy Child because its philosophy is that yes, there's a lot of daunting stuff going on in the world, but our children spend the majority of their days at home — it's where they sleep, it's where they eat, it's where they're nurtured — and we can control that." - Laura Dern.
