description:  The essential, parent-friendly guide to raising a healthy child in our increasingly toxic environment.    The second volume in the New York Times bestselling Green This! series, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care is a complete guide to raising healthy kids. Environmental activist and children's advocate Deirdre Imus addresses specific issues faced by children in every age group -- from infants to adolescents and beyond. With a focus on preventing rather than treating childhood illnesses, Deirdre concentrates on educating and empowering parents with information such as:    How to make sure your child is vaccinated safely   Which plastic bottles and toys are least toxic   How to lobby for safer school environments and support children's environmental health studies   Advice from leading "green" pediatricians and nationally recognized doctors such as Mehmet C. Oz, M.D.    Chock-full of research and advice, Growing Up Green makes it easy for you to introduce your child to the "living green" way of life.
