One More Reason To Read The Label On Your Milk.

by Steve Hoffman on Oct 6, 2010

Used to artificially increase milk production in cows, GE bovine growth hormones are a short-term profiteer’s dream in that they increase immediate milk production by 10%. Yet, it often comes at a cost to the cow’s long-term health. Not only is the use of growth hormones in industrial agriculture a significant animal welfare concern, but many questions remain as to its safety regarding human health.

Garbage Patch Kids?

by Karthik Sonty on Sep 23, 2010

It is estimated that over 500 billion plastic bags are used globally every year, of which less than 1% end up being recycled. Moreover, people in the United States alone consume nearly 50 billion bottles of water annually with less than 20% ending up in a recycling plant. So what becomes of the waste in this unidirectional, unsustainable system? Well, naturally, it collects.
