Making toxic chemicals unthinkable for a just and healthy society
Since our founding in 2006, Clean and Healthy New York has driven New York State’s environmental health leadership. We co-lead the JustGreen Partnership, a growing collaborative of over 50 local, statewide and national organizations representing more than a million New Yorkers on public health, environmental conservation, environmental health and justice, consumer protection, worker safety and more.
As the leaders of the Getting Ready for Baby campaign, we have driven national retail chain buybuy BABY to establish a Restricted Substances List and phase out flame retardants in nursery items and harmful chemicals in personal care and cleaning products.
In service of this work, CHNY has also authored numerous reports, tested products and people for harmful chemicals, and presented to thousands of people across the country.
