Children for a Safe Environment In 1989 Kory Johnson's older sister died at the age of 16 from heart problems that were likely to have been caused by contaminated well water her mother drank while pregnant. After attending a bereavement support group for children in her community, nine year old Johnson discovered that many families in her neighborhood had lost a loved one and that the area was a cancer cluster. Deciding that she and other youth needed to speak up against the environmental health hazards they face, Johnson formed Children for a Safe Environment. |
