Success story: Manny Calonzo, EcoWaste Coalition
Artist: Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint
Lead-safety Message: Manny accepted the prize on behalf of stakeholders who promoted safeguards against lead paint for nearly 12 million young children. Together with the non-governmental organization, Ecological Waste Coalition of the Philippines, Inc. (EcoWaste Coalition), he engaged civil society, policy makers and paint manufacturers to build momentum in the Philippines for the adoption of a law banning lead paint production, use and sale. The support from key stakeholders, especially local paint manufacturers, laid the groundwork for the adoption of the national law with 85% success rate. Together we can keep children around the globe safe by eliminating lead paint. Keywords: Ban Lead paint, Keep Our Children & Workers Safe, Eradicate Lead Paint, Lead Paint Exposure Awareness.

Never mix soil samples from different places in a yard.

Lead-safety Message: Have each soil sample analysed for lead separately at
the lab because, if the result is just below the soil lead action level,
then you’ll never know which patch of soil is above the action lead level so
how can you take appropriate action to protect a child, pet or poultry from
the lead-contaminated soil?

Lead-safety Message: ACCESSIBLE Lead Dust is hazardous for children whether
it’s on the floor or a window sill so why do Lead Paint Management Standards
& Regulations typically say a home is lead-safe for a young child when
there’s around 5 times the dust wipe lead loading on a window sill than is
allowed on the floor?

Memorial Outlook : LOVE ONE ANOTHER “Short History Prehistoric evidence
indicates that Webb Memorial State park was a seasonal campsite for Native
Americans. After European contact, the site was likely used for farming and
grazing. In the 1860s the site became part of the Bradley Fertilizer
factory, and was used for dumping industrial waste. In the 1950s the
property was owned by the U.S. Government to house NIKE missiles in
underground silos, and was one of approximately ten sites in the Boston area
controlled from Hog Island (now Spinnaker). Military use ended in 1977 and
the site was transferred to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Since this
time, the site has been configured to serve as parkland. General Information
This island of Boston Harbor Islands national park area is managed by the
Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).

Lead-safety Message: Lead contamination can have a domino effect on the
environment and wildlife.
Artist: Erik Wibowo
Description of Work: This quiet scenery of a bush, a creek and a duck has a
hidden danger of environmental hazard. What lies beneath the ground behind
the bush on the left is soil with a high lead content. The buried lead can
be harmful for people who work on the soil or eat vegetables grown on the
soil. Furthermore, chemical leaching to the creek’s water may also impact
the wildlife in situ, or downstream.
