Healthy Kids and a Healthy Planet

Beginning this Friday, a three-day workshop will explore how to raise healthy children in a toxic world, while helping our environment. The conference, Saving Our Kids, Healing Our Planet, will be held from September 26th to 28th in the Charlotte Convention Center.

Highlights include renowned pediatricians, authors and environmentalists discussing children’s health and treatment for their ills, from asthma to autism. They say that the wellbeing of children may depend on reducing the pollution in our world. Presenters and vendors feature safe and effective household products, alternative vaccines, organic clothing, whole foods, and many other topics. And the Planet Kids area is the place where kids can have fun with activities such as puppet shows, story-telling, Environmental Hip Hop, recycled craft projects and games, along with healthy snacks.

The registration fee for adults is $12.00 per day at the door, discounted if you register in advance online. Children under 18 are free. To register, see http://registration.sokhop.com/
