I'm in the middle of a cross-country speaking tour. I always talk about my grandson, Grant, and the need to create a sustainable, just, and peaceful world for him -- which means doing that for EVERY child on this planet!
Imagine the pride I felt to see him and my daughter, Jessica, and son-in-law Dan featured on the front page of the Palm Beach Post. I'd like to share that moment with you...
From Palm Beach Post

"Grant Miller was born in September, and bisphenol A has never touched his lips.
His parents, Daniel and Jessica Perkins Miller of Palm Beach Gardens, spurn plastic baby bottles that contain the chemical compound. (Click on the photo to see larger image from my personal photos.)
"We did a lot of research and decided not to use plastic bottles to feed him," said Jessica, 26, membership and development director at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach. "We didn't want to use them because of the chemicals they're made of. We don't want our son to have the chemicals inside his body."
Bisphenol A, or BPA, is a hormone-mimicking chemical widely used in the manufacture of polycarbonate bottles, food containers, compact discs and some baby bottles. A preliminary report in April from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' National Toxicology Program said there was "some concern" about BPA's effects on fetuses, infants and children, particularly on the neural system, behavior and the prostate and mammary glands.
