Background:
Parents for a Safer Environment (PfSE), a grass-roots organization, was formed
after parents witnessed children being exposed to serious environmental hazards in
Childcare Facilities in the Fall of 2002. A steering committee of parent
volunteers from Moraga, Lafayette, Richmond, El Cerrito, Walnut Creek,
Pleasant Hill, and Martinez, and an Advisory Board of health and
technical experts work to
bring awareness of environmental hazards and solutions to the community. We invite others
to join us. Learn more about us here!
