Amber Adams focused on the problem of toxins in our everyday lives, which adversely affect our health. Her project, “Hidden Dangers Uncovered”, helps raise awareness in both young and old of toxins in our everyday surroundings, and the health implications that go unrecognized.

With education and demonstrations, people can learn about such environmental toxins. It is Amber’s passion that people will become empowered to make healthier choices and thereby avoid toxic overload and many illnesses associated with toxins.

Through Amber’s initiative, a Girl Scout patch has been created called “Hidden Dangers Uncovered”. This patch encourages young girls to learn of the dangers of toxins in our environment. There is an ongoing project to teach people how to properly dispose of old batteries.

Congratulations, Amber, on leading us all in this environmental protection project!

For her creative ideas and leadership ability, the Dale Earnhardt Foundation granted Amber the 2011 Legend Leadership Award. She was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation, an engraved Trophy, and a college scholarship for $7,000.
