As a children's environmental health advocate and an environmental attorney specializing in environmental law and consumer product labeling, I do my best to raise my kids, ages 3 and 5, in a non-toxic environment. I focus on simple, practical steps to reduce or eliminate toxic chemical exposures in the home. I am also the author of the forthcoming Smart Mama's Green Guide: Simple Steps to Reduce Your Child's Toxic Chemical Exposure, due out in June (reserve your copy now!).Prior to practing law, I was an environmental engineer for 5 years. I've been practing environmental and consumer law for more than 14 years. I am the founder of TheSmartMama, an eco consulting firm providing healthy home consults and XRF testing for lead and other elements in consumer products. I served as a Commissioner for the Los Angeles City Environmental Affairs Commission for 9 years. I am an Educational Programs Specialist for Healthy Child Healthy World.
