How many children do you know who have asthma, learning disabilities, cancer or allergies?

The numbers of children with these health problems are increasing at an alarming rate. Research is showing that these increases are due in part to children's exposures to chemicals in the their environment and food.

The Environmental Association for Great Lakes Education (EAGLE) is seeking people interested in learning more about this important issue to be trained to educate communities throughout northern MN over the next year. A stipend will be paid for each session that you teach.
Please attend a free training session entitled: Protecting Children From Environmental Health Risks on March 6 from 1-4 at the Dewitt-Seitz Building in Duluth, Minnesota. For more information and to register, contact Janelle Sorensen, 612-722-5355, Janelle@EAGLE-EcoSource.org.
