CNN’s Toxic America

Along the lines of my recent posts on pesticides and food and our lawns, I thought you might be interested in this year-long study which will be featured on CNN this week. Tune in and come back here to comment on what you thought of the program!

Wednesday and Thursday, June 2nd and 3rd, at 8pm EST, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta will be airing an eye-opening investigative story: Toxic America. If you care about public and environmental health, it’s must-see TV.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta hosts the two-part program, revealing devastating results from a year-long investigation.

Wednesday night highlights “Toxic Towns” and will delve into the environmental health and justice problems plaguing the community of Mossville, Louisiana. Mossville is not an isolated example, but instead a poster child for a broken chemical safety system.

Thursday night highlights the “Toxic Childhood” and features Healthy Child, Healthy World founders, Jim and Nancy Chuda; Scientific Advisor, Dr. Phil Landrigan; and our “A Wake-Up Story” video. This second part of the series reveals the effect toxics have on unborn babies.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Have your friends over to watch the show on June 2nd and/or 3rd or record the series to share with others in the future.
  • Tell others to watch by using these suggested status updates:
