"HOW TO" - EASY CHECKLISTS
The site Healthy Child Healthy World (at http://healthychild.org and formerly known as CHEC: Children's Health Environmental Coalition) has a collection of helpful checklists. Look under "Resources" in the green tabs at the top of the page and click on "Checklists". It is a wonderful organization that provides crucial information - do peruse the site.
