The thing that has changed the most about me since becoming a mother is that I pay much more attention to the world around me. I took a lot for granted before I was responsible for another life and I have definitely become much more conscious about the environment and the impact it has on me and my children.

I have learned much about environmental toxins since becoming a mom. In fact, I never cared about any of this before, but it has a great impact on me now. These toxins are not only affecting my children now, but the potential effect it has on the world they are going to have to live in, is devastating.

I do my part, more now than before, to try and make the environment a better place, but it is simply not going to be enough. I have decided that I am going to become a spokesperson about my concerns. Anyone who has children should be just as concerned as I am and if we all did our part, it would be enough.
