Envirohealth in Blogs: The greenest gift you'll get all year

A little light reading for your mid-week enjoyment. But first:

Do you have a friend who has everything? If you're looking for a creative holiday gift that will show off your style and your ethos (and help reduce your friend's exposure to toxics), consider making a donation to EWG and getting the Pollution Solutions Gift Bag. It's stuffed with stuff to make the season bright, including yummy chocolate, a Klean Kanteen water bottle, and a three-pound, eight-inch Lodge pre-seasoned cast iron pan. I kid you not. And it all comes in an organic cotton Pesticide Guide shopping bag, so you'll never wonder whether to buy your apples organic again. All the details are right here!

And now, to the blogs.

Kathy at Non-Toxic Kids has a holiday primer for those of you celebrating Christmas. For starters, don't put breakable ornaments on the bottom third of the tree -- use cloth instead.

A new study says divorce is bad for the environment, and the Evangelical Ecologist points out one more reason why. I've gotta say, I'm surprised the researchers didn't think of this.

An FDA-sponsored report calls FDA to task. Yes, you read that right. Details at The Pump Handle.

Overfishing and pollution are wreaking havoc on Chesapeake Bay blue crab populations, says Mark at Blogfish.

The Neighborhood Toxicologist prepares to lead a high school course on the environmental impact of clothing by playing around on the Patagonia website. Man, I wish my high school teachers had been that cool.
