We're just warming up...

There will be content coming soon. Meanwhile...

I have a LOT to say about environmental toxins. In fact, we ALL should have A LOT to say about them. They are in our water, our air, our food, our soil and in our bodies. And you know what stinks most? WE put them there. Well, some of us did.

Toxic chemical impact our health - and the health of plants, animals, fungi, and wee beasties in ecosystems. The (mainly) US chemical industry has consistently worked to find way to turn their waste into products, and, of course, to externalize the cost of their toxins. We’re going to be publishing articles about the good, the bad & the ugly, and go into greater detail than most outlets. We’re also going to promote organizations and individuals that we think are being effective at educating the public on these problems, and that are having - or have a good chance at having a positive impact on environmental policies. But first, some big news (to some):

CLIMATE CHANGE STEALS THE SPOTLIGHT FROM MORE IMMEDIATE AND PRESSING PROBLEMS.

If you’re an environmentalist, it’s easy to wear a button or throw a bumper sticker on your car about CO2 footprints. Look, I’m not going there. It gets enough airtime as it is. It seems 99% of all media coverage of the environment focuses on climate change/global warming/arctic ice/sea levels. But which species in your state have been listed as rare & endangered in the last five years? Which toxic chemicals are now found in drinking water at levels that EWG find to be unacceptably high? How can wine from California be labeled “Organic” and still contain unacceptable levels of glyphosate? And what about the health effects of toxic cleaners, you know, the QUATs and QUACs sprayed on nearly every restaurant table, dozens of times each day?

I’m teaching Environmental Toxicology: Ecosystem and Human Health again this fall @ IPAK-EDU. The course is open to the public. Each lecture closes w/an action item. I’ll be participating in live Q&A before, and after, each lecture.

I will be writing articles related to the topics covered in each lecture, and I will be publishing them here. I may publish the collection of articles as a book to give the students a handy reading resource to accompany the lectures. My primary concern is that we’re wrecking the brains of the future peoples of this planet. Bruce Lanphear’s Little Things Matter is absolutely haunting. Where will future Einsteins come from? And what does it mean to have a net drop in IQ of 30 points over the next 10-15 years? How will future generations solve increasingly complex societal problems? Will they merely subjugate themselves to people who claim authority?

Little Things Matter – Unleashing the Power of Prevention

If you’re a parent, or grandparent, and you care about about their future, making their lives as clean from corporate toxins as possible should be a daily priority. Their fates are in your hands.

So, I’m glad you signed up, watch for new content weekly starting in September, and please take action on a daily basis to look after your own, and your loved ones’, brain health.
