No PFAS limits in food

Posted on by

We should be able to depend our government for the protection of our health and safety.  Sadly, many scientists who evaluate the health of foods in the Food & Drug Administration have either left or their findings have been set aside.  The responsibility, more than ever, is on us.  Suggestions afterwards.

Earth as Uninhabitable

Posted on by

I’ve waited half a year to share this research on one of my blogs. The key to news getting published in media is: ”If it bleeds, it leads.”  I’ve been wanting to share this report, but D insisted on keeping blogs focused on positive news that readers could act on. This is as negative a piece of information as I’ve seen.  Yet, it seems the result of considerable research.  How to react to this level of dissonance? Ignore it?  Discredit the source?… Keep reading

With all the turbulence going on in our world today – fast-changing technologies, disastrous climate events, terrorism, pandemics and a variety of wars – how can we enjoy a more positive quality-of-life experience?  Well, Gaia has actually provided a low-cost remedy … taking a walk in the woods.

EVs reducing air pollution

Posted on by

Moving from global climate change issues, we have some excellent reports about the positive effects EVs are having on air pollution in our cities. Asthma and other allergies from which people suffer are due to air pollution – right down to air quality in immediate neighborhoods – the impact isn’t “off in the future” and “somewhere in the world.” It’s here and now.

In Norway, 93% of all new car 2025 sales were EVs. Don’t we deserve healthier air as well?… Keep reading
