The U.S. is definitely not the only country where parents and others worry about slowly killing or maiming their children. We ran a brief article in Our Toxic Times recently about Viet Nam's actions to cut down on toxic toys and clothing, and now I ran across an editorial from Pakistan about the lack of laws to protect their children.
As more and more countries rise to the battle, we slowly build momentum in the effort to make this world a cleaner/safer place for us humans.
