As a dietitian, I was educated that what we take into our bodies, namely food, significantly affects our health. But, as I began to research more green information, I made the connection that pollutants inadvertently taken into our bodies through our food, water, air, and health care products can significantly affect our health too! In order to be as healthy as possible, you need the highest quality of food and a clean environment. The more I learned, the more I realized I had an obligation to help keep my child, and future generations, safe. This is what inspired me to start a local green moms group to share knowledge, ideas, and support with other like minded moms. I started Green Mommies Yahoo group in 2005 as a special interest group through our local Coastside Mother’s Club.
