Watch the video of CEH’s recent visit to Youth Radio, to demonstrate some of our work for their Brains and Beakers event.

The mounting evidence can't be denied: toxic chemicals we're exposed to everyday can significantly increase the risk of developing a myriad of health problems including infertility, learning and developmental disabilities, and even cancer. Congress has an obligation to pass a law that will protect our families from harmful chemicals.
Monsanto's new experimental GMO corn contains a toxic pesticide in every bite, intended for the frozen and/or canned corn market. This experimental corn will not be labeled, so consumers cannot know when they may be eating a GMO food. As the nation’s largest retailer and a major provider of frozen and canned corn, Walmart has the responsibility to take action to protect consumers from this risky new corn.
More than 300,000 Americans have already signed a petition urging Walmart to make a commitment to reject the new Monsanto GMO variety by April 1. Petitions will be delivered to Walmart this week, so take action today to have your voice heard!
Urge Congress that GMO food must be labeled. These could be the most important clicks your mouse makes today!

This week, a California State Assembly committee will vote on a bill (AB 88) to require labeling of genetically modified (GMO) fish. In response to the potential FDA approval of GMO salmon, California must take this opportunity to protect state consumers' right to know what is in our food.
California must take the lead. Urge your Assembly Member to say "YES" to labels on GMO fish.
