It’s Time For Moms To Roar
Who can resist Julianne Moore? Actress, Mom, Author and Advocate - is there anything she can't do?! Today she lends her voice to a new video supporting the Moms Clean Air Force.
Moms Clean Air Force is a new cause founded by well known editor, Dominique Browning (you probably recognize her name from the masthead of House & Garden). We sat down with Dominique a few weeks ago and were ever so impressed by her energy, leadership and ability to create a cause from the ground up.

The Clean Air Act defines the EPA's responsibilities for protecting and improving the nation's air quality and the stratospheric ozone layer.

Air pollution isn't just dirty, it's toxic.
