Healthy Legacy began as a joint project of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy and the Clean Water Action of Minnesota in the summer of 2006. With the addition of six steering committee organizations, the program has developed to represent a broad spectrum of interests including healthcare, citizens with disabilities, environmental justice, and environmental health. We look forward to expanding the coalition and continuing our work to leave a legacy for our children that leaves them safe, healthy and with prospects for reaching their full potential. Vision: We envision healthy people, safe communities, a clean environment and a thriving economy. Mission: Healthy Legacy promotes healthy lives by supporting the production and use of everyday products without toxic chemicals. We advocate for consumer education, business leadership, and protective policies to advance safe alternatives in Minnesota.
