Gateway to Greener Pastures
Posted on March 08, 2008In history, they always talk about the pendulum swinging. First we go one way, then we swing back the other. Right now, we're still on the upswing. For years--forever maybe except for a little rebellious blip during the sixties--we have been a consumer society...
What is Green?
Posted on March 01, 2008Smell the freshly cut grass. It's the scent of green. Hear each leaf whisper in the wind. It's the sound of green. Feel the brush of the willow, the velvet of verdant moss under your bare feet. It's the touch of green. I don't think it's an accident that green is the symbol and the name of the Green movement...
Pros and Cons
Posted on February 14, 2008A lawfirm advertises a medical brochure about Mesothelioma. On Television. A news broadcast announces that many Lipitor patients experience memory loss. (Why would this be surprising? Statins reduce cholesterol and the brain relies on cholesterol to function...
Freedom of Torte
Posted on February 09, 2008We live in a country that proudly announces we have freedom of speech and free enterprise. Certainly at it's zenith, these freedoms can produce the most sublime art. At the other end of the spectrum we find night-time television flooded with infomercials, and daytime television flooded with commercials that tweak the imagination and regularly imply more utopian product satisfaction than any materialistic thing could realistically deliver...
A Figment or Not a Figment: Morgellons Reality Bites
Posted on February 05, 2008There are Unidentified Flying Objects. There are Unidentified Submarine Objects. Now there are Unidentified Cutaneous Objects. (For those of us without an MD, and even for those WITH an MD, cutaneous means relating to or existing on or affecting the skin...
A Little Poison With Your Fish?
Posted on January 29, 2008There's been a public advisory about eating toxic fish. Those of you who have been eating fish because it's healthier, but you've been walking around achy and fatigued, listen up. " Consumption of smallmouth bass caught in Chartiers Creek from the PA Route 980 Bridge in Canonsburg to the mouth in Washington and Allegheny Counties, and in Little Chartiers Creek from Canonsburg Lake Dam to the mouth in Washington County, should be limited to six meals per year, due to polychlorinated biphenyl, or PCB, contamination...
Licensing the Right to a Healthy Environment
Posted on January 22, 2008Licensing the Right to a Healthy Environment in New York City: What Will Happen Next? Raise your hand if you've seen the 1984 movie Ghostbusters. It's a cult hit that has Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson ghost hunting with the use of imaginary technology that attracts the attention of overbearing EPA agent Walter Peck (William Atherton...
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
Posted on January 11, 2008I'm in the same boat as Mark Twain. "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Well, not precisely the same boat since Mark Twain actually IS quite dead now; and I wasn't quite accused of being dead. However, it just so happens that someone emailed me a note about a blog that talked about something Erin Brockovich would have been interested in...
Met Life
Posted on January 09, 2008Think of how it would be if life came with a crystal ball. There would never be any surprises. We wouldn't have accidents, because we'd know they were going to happen. In fact, we'd have to get rid of the word accident, because we'd know ahead of time that mishap was coming...
2008: New Year's Resolution
Posted on January 01, 2008The last day of the year, there's usually a cartoon of an old man on the newspaper's front page, news and tv shows fill up the day with pre-recorded retrospectives. It is a day of lists. Top ten actresses, top ten actors, top ten movies. If there's more space or time to fill, then the lists get longer: top fifty or top hundred sports figures, bloopers, rescues, crimes, lawsuits...
How Green Is Your Christmas?
Posted on December 22, 2007This is purely a philosophical question and it is not one that I can really answer for myself, much less anyone else. I was just thinking about Christmas trees. There's something about having a real tree that is just Christmasy. There's just no other way to put it...
Bad News in Oinofyta
Posted on December 11, 2007The saying "No news is good news" is not always true. Recently I started poring the headlines looking for fresh news from OINOFYTA, Greece. Factories have been dumping waste in the Asopos River for decades, resulting in such severe pollution in Oinofyta that the residents have been held hostage by the damage...
All That Glistens Isn't Gold, and All That Spills Isn't Milk
Posted on December 07, 2007Revisiting the Spill Remember Exxon Valdez? Who? Exxon Valdez, now called Sea River Mediterranean, oil tanker built by National Steel and Shipbuilding of San Diego, runs aground. What? 11 million gallons of crude oil escapes into the Gulf of Alaska Where? Prince William Sound, fouling 790 miles of shoreline within Prince William Sound oiled, 200 miles of which is classified as heavily oiled and in the Kenai Peninsula-Kodiak region, more than 2,400 miles of shoreline are found to be oiled...
Bandaids aren't Enough
Posted on November 27, 2007Sometimes I feel like I'm the little dutch boy, sticking my finger in a hole in the dike. Except that the dike is like a piece of cheese, and the more fingers I use, the more leaks the dike sprouts. I was recently in Greece talking about the Asopos River...
Safety First?
Posted on November 18, 2007My daughter used to bring home artwork made of little beads from school . Such innocent little pellets. Who knew that if ingested, they would degrade in the digestive system into gamma hydroxy butyrate, otherwise known as the date rape drug? Over the years, how many children have ingested those little tablets? Not that it was ever marketed to young children--but there are an awful lot of households with older and younger children...
One More Drug, One Less Choice
Posted on November 04, 2007I've seen the One Less commercial. The one for Gardasil. I guess you know it too, If you're in the US and have a television, you can't help having seen it. The one that talks about being one One LessOne less what? I wondered, until I finally sat down and made myself pay attention...
Healing Environmental Wounds
Posted on October 19, 2007I'm about to visit the Asopos River. You may have heard of it; it is that river in Greece that has been in the news lately. I've talked about it before. It provides toxic tap water to tens of thousands of people, who have been getting sick and dying...
Going Commando: To Lead or Not To Lead, That is the Question
Posted on October 14, 2007The AP had a story today talking about the FDA looking into lead levels in lipstick. Lead is a known carcinogen that is absorbed through the skin, and accumulates in the bones, causes neurological damage, behavior abnormalities, leg cramps, muscle weakness, numbness and depression...
Cause for Alarm
Posted on October 11, 2007You know the old test for mine safety--sending a canary down into the tunnels. If the canary died, the air wasn't safe. The canary is just one indicator that people have observed to check the habitability of the environment. So in the old days, we watched the canaries...
A Peek at my Mailbox
Posted on October 06, 2007This isn't really a blog today, just some comments I'd like to make in reply to some of the many people who email me or comment on my blogs in various places- To all of you who are trying to sell me medicines online, and dirty movies. Thank you very much, but no matter how much I wanted or needed either of these items, I would not get them online from strangers, especially those who can't spell...
