About Me
- Jackie Lombardo
- Jackie Lombardo is a mother, writer, and activist motivated by ever increasing childhood illness, and research consistently revealing harm from toxicants building and storing in children’s bodies. Jackie founded Friends and Advocates for Children, Teachers and Schools (FACTS) in 2005 to educate communities about impacts of toxicants on children’s health. Featured on local radio, newspapers and TV, FACTS efforts resulted in Albemarle County, Virginia stopping routine applications of pesticides in public buildings, parks and school fields and switching to green certified cleaners. A bill protecting all Virginia school children from unnecessary exposure to pesticides was passed into law by the General Assembly in 2009. As a member of the Sierra Club National Toxics Committee, she has been involved in national projects stressing education, precaution and strong legislation for mercury, bisphenol A, pesticides, and lead in children’s products.
I feel like this article is especially relevant around the holiday season, when everything takes on tempting holiday packaging! I was recently on a friend's blog about vegan cooking adventures and, after reading your article, I feel excited about making the commitment to avoid packaged food and toxins.
