POPSDepleted Uranium has Destroyed the Genetic Future of Iraq Cold-blooded Americans could care less. Yet, this nation of hypocrites say they went there to Iraq because they actually gave a shit about the Iraqi people "suffering" under Saddam. Combine all the crimes for which Saddam Hussein has been accused and it would not even come close to the crimes committed against the Iraqi people by the USA.

POPSBaby Girl Born With Two Faces It seems that many unusual birth defects are common in India and the result is that the child is worshipped. Is it that most of these defects are only reported on because it is from India? Or is there some environmental reason

POPSPlant based plastic - No more Wars for Oil. More: Plant based plastics provide an alternative to conventional plastics, especially for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), that relies heavily on extremely toxic feedstocks and additives that have devastating impacts on our health and environment through their production, use and disposal. Many of the chemicals used in PVC production are linked to cancer, birth defects, reproductive harm, and a host of other health problems. In contrast, biobased plastics are generated using renewable materials by converting plants such as corn into plastic. The production of bioplastics can help contribute to rural economic development, providing a steady income for farmers. It also uses fewer fossil fuels compared to petrochemical plastics, even after accounting for the fuel needed to plant and harvest the corn or other feedstocks.

POPSMarines base TOXIC!!! New studies worrying! 1 million exposed! Government health officials have estimated that as many as 1 million people may have been exposed during three decades of water contamination going back to 1957, a situation examined in a recent Associated Press investigation. The numbers include Marines in barracks and military families living on the sprawling Atlantic training and deployment base, and civilians who worked there. Base officials hand-carried letters Wednesday to 900 homes in the base's Tarawa Terrace neighborhood, disclosing the testing. A small portion of those homes may be affected, Fahy said. Ventilation systems could be installed if danger is found, he said. Dole's notification requirement was in an amendment she offered Wednesday to a broad military money bill before the legislation was pulled from the floor in a showdown over Iraq. The larger bill may be back as soon as September.
