EnviroHealth in Blogs: Calling all candidates!
A little light reading. . .
Now that's my kind of gift guide. We've seen a lot of gift guides for children around these parts lately, and while that's certainly important, I haven't seen any great guides for like-minded adults -- until now. Ethicurean's got the goods. (Although, it should be noted, it's not all "goods" in the traditional consumer sense. Adopt a tree, anyone?)
Calling all candidates. The folks at The Pump Handle have joined the cry for a presidential science debate, and we're right there with 'em.
In short, scientific federal agencies are not able to use science as they should to protect our air, water, drugs, and food and to address large-scale health and environmental problems. It is imperative that the next president reverse these damaging trends and restore scientific integrity to federal policy.
You can read a list of questions the Pump Handlers have for the candidates, or click here to join the call for a science debate.
Mmm, organic latkes. . . Culinate has a helpful guide to what to buy organic in the winter -- it's like a seasonal version of Food News!
Nature is more than skin deep.One of the blogs I follow is Pretty by Nature, so you can imagine I was happy to see a post about the Skin Deep cosmetics database the other day. Noel recommends that you do your research, and I second that.
No right to know? Effect Measure summarizes the latest goings-on with the Toxic Release Inventory Program (definitely worth a read, especially if you're not sure what that is), and ends with this clever quip:
I expect to hear any minute, though, that we can't let terrorists know what toxic materials are being intentionally released into our communities just in case they might get the idea of intentionally releasing those materials into our communities.
