Environmental attorney, author and blogger specializes in protecting kids from toxic chemical exposure.
Jennifer Taggart, aka The Smart Mama, is the new Green Living Expert at Real Savvy Moms Go Green. You can ask her any question you want about everyday toxic chemicals in household products and what she thinks are the best alternatives.
Jennifer is a children’s environmental health advocate and an environmental attorney specializing in environmental law and consumer product labeling, and is raising two kids, ages 3 and 5, in a non-toxic environment.
Her recommendations are most often, but not always, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity-safe, so as with all product recommendations, proceed cautiously. We MCSers are each unique and learn what works by trial and error.
I’ve learned a lot from Jennifer about the chemistry behind toxic products that make MCSers ill, and have implemented many of her suggestions for safe products. She even helped me choose the right type of pipe for my new bathroom sink: copper. She’s a fierce critic about the presence of phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), and lead in consumer goods.
I greatly admire Jennifer for the work she is doing on behalf of children in educating parents about how to keep their kids safe from toxic chemical exposure.
Jennifer blogs at The Smart Mama and is author of Smart Mama’s Green Guide: Simple Steps to Reduce Your Child’s Toxic Chemical Exposure, due out in June.
