The Next Generation Choices Foundation, also known as Less Cancer, is an American nonprofit organization (501(c)(3)) founded by Bill Couzens in 2004 to educate the public about cancer prevention through digital media and community-supported programming. Less Cancer’s mission is to make risk reduction and prevention vital parts of cancer cures. The organization reaches more than 100,000 regular followers in over 30 countries. They seek to broaden public knowledge regarding cancer prevention, including sharing information about environment- and food-based causes of cancer; risk-reduction strategies; changing community or corporate practices and products; building alliances with business and industry; and creating options for healthy choices. == Approach/Emphasis == LessCancer.org addresses social and health issues regarding prevention, including food and nutritional access, specific contaminants, pollution sources, and healthy lifestyle choices, such as diet, exercise, and nutrition. The organization sees its approach as particularly relevant to at-risk populations, such as children, low-income communities, and workers. Less Cancer’s ultimate goal is to raise awareness of prevention and reduce incidences of diagnosed cancer in all people; they also support reduced use of chemicals in food production as a means to reduce cancer. In addition to online media, Less Cancer communicates its cancer prevention message through live events, fundraisers, blogs, letters to the editor, outreach to lawmakers, round tables, and panel discussions with health-related constituencies, as well as through self-sponsored speaker series and congressional testimony. The organization encourages supporter education and activism regarding exposures to lawn and garden pesticides, and spraying at schools and other communities where children and others are at risk.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lesscancer.org/who-we-are/ )〕
