Did you know?

Pesticide use has risen dramatically worldwide since 1961, from 0.49 kg per hectare to 2 kg in 2004.

Children are at greater risk from chemical exposure because they breathe more and consume more food and water per kg of body weight than adults.

On average, adults contain 32 toxic chemicals while the bodies of children are contaminated with some 23 harmful chemicals.

Organic agriculture bans the use of chemical pesticides and other substances that damage our health and environment.
