EnviroHealth in Blogs: Plastic inspiration from under the sea

By EWG

A little light reading for your mid-week enjoyment.

On a need-to-know basis.Food and Water Watch reports on USDA's new proposed recall rule -- they may tell you what they know about recalled meat. Then again, they may not.

Quite the party trick. Usually we talk about plastic endangering sea life, but Mark has a story about sea life inspiring plastic. I had no idea sea cucumbers were so talented!

Replacing one dictator with another. Corn is not the answer -- Red, Green and Blue analyzes why.

You call that clean? Heidi at the Greenwash Brigade attended a greener-cleaner party, and she's all riled up about the nasty stuff that's in conventional cleaning products.

Maybe they'll start a trend. A Maine town has become the second locale in the country to legally ban the growth of genetically modified crops. Kudos, Montville.

j/k lol! Eco April Fools from around the web: Smart Planet has a good round-up, as does Siel at Emerald City.
