All the EWG environmental health issues you care about - on Facebook.
I'm convinced that having a Facebook group is now like having a web site: if you don't have one, where are you, really? Does your group really exist? If you can't be found online, who's going to find you these days...at all?
And even though I'm a Johnny-come-lately (my excuse: age), EWG isn't. Nope, we've been on Facebook awhile now, maybe since way back in 2007. Check it out. We promise not to over message you (no way).
Instead, it's a great way to hear about our new reports (like the Green Lighting one we issued earlier this month), or the report on bottled water we did in fall 2008.
We also share action items, like our e-letter to the Energy Star program directors requesting lower mercury limits in compact fluorescent light bulbs - because we know the technology's out there and think the regulations ought to keep pace. Among other important (and always scintillating) updates from the hard-working EWG staff.
So please, join us. And if hanging out with us on Facebook isn't enough (how could it be?), by all means, follow on us Twitter. Naturally we tweet, too. We're @enviroblog.
I would like to inform everyone living in our area (Mt. Pocono, PA 18344 - "the center of THE poconos" that we may soon disappear as a "tourist attraction" if more and more pollution will be in our area. I would like to keep our environment nice and clean but it's going to be only as clean as we allow it. Long story short: Paula Funeral Home, located on Rt, 196 in center of Mount Pocono, PA has applied for a Conditional Use Application for a Proposed Crematory to be installed, and to be located in back of the Funeral Home in a detached garage. The crematory will be located in a middle of residential properties and right next to day care center. I did a little study and the more I read about that the more scared I'm for myself and my children.
I moved to this area for better air quality and quality of life for our families, especially my children and now my children are going to watch human bodies being burned from their day care center windows? I don't think this is right. I'm sorry, I'm sending the letter to you, but I really don't know where to go to ask for help.
If there is anyway that you could help me, please do so. If you have any ideas, that I could use, please contact let me know.
Sincerely,
Donna Casole
