 The Gaia theory also "sees the earth as a responsive supra-organism that will tend to resist adverse environmental change and maintain 'homeostasis.' But if stressed beyond the limits of whatever happens to be the current regulatory apparatus, it will jump to a new stable environment where many of the current species will be eliminated." This illuminates the fact that the earth is a creator of its own existence and that environmental homeostasis or balance is necessary for life as we know it to be maintained.
Spirit is defined in Webster's dictionary as "the vital principle held to give life. |

 What's certain is that those nations attempting to mimic the culture of America will suffer the same fate as America -- a fate that will soon be obvious to even the most insistent deniers who claim that environmental pollution, endless debt spending and the mass contamination of food and medicines with deadly synthetic chemicals are somehow sustainable practices. The end result of all this is not in question by any serious thinker: Widespread bankruptcy, disease pandemics, environmental collapse and a bursting of the food production bubble. |

 Secondly, it creates an environmental hazard because we have all this old, used oil being disposed of all around the country, and a lot of it ends up in landfills, or even in just regular household garbage. Some of it ends up poured into streams or rivers. Some people just pour it down the drain. So we have a huge oil disposal problem in this country, which creates a negative environmental impact. That impact could be largely avoided by reusing the same oil we already have in our cars.
The environmental impact of throwing away a dirty filter is far less than throwing away five quarts of oil. |

 Second, the fact that colon cancer can be caused or exacerbated by environmental factors suggests that it might be prevented or inhibited by altering these environmental factors, specifically, by adding to the diet foods that contain cancer-preventing agents. Colon cancer rates in Asian countries are much lower than colon cancer rates in the United States and Europe. Since much of Asia drinks plenty of green tea, could this be one of the sources of the difference? |

 There is evidence that 20 per cent of admissions to hospital of people with asthma attacks were the result of environmental pollution.
And the environmental pollutants continue to increase asthma in our society. However, if you believe that pollution is the major contributing factor to your asthma there is much you can do to make your environment healthier. You can take control of your condition and reduce or eliminate your exposure to household and workplace pollutants. þ Keep everything that gives off unpleasant odours out of inhalation range until you need to use them. |

 If you have good nutrition and you avoid exposure to environmental chemicals, then you won't express a disease even if you have the so-called gene that has been linked to it. These aren't genetic disorders -- there isn't some mysterious physical problem that can be corrected with surgery. There certainly isn't a disease caused by lack of pharmaceuticals, so treating them with drugs is ridiculous. Most neurological disorders are caused by nutritional deficiencies combined with exposure to environmental toxins. |

 Although there is plenty of rigorous science taking place within the United States, much of the most important science produced today is based entirely on creating the illusion that something sold by a corporation is good, or that new regulations that require businesses to conduct themselves with environmental responsibility are not necessary. It's interesting that science always seems to reflect the interests of corporations here in the United States, and rarely the interests of the People, the planet or the future of human civilization. |

 Those pesticides are sold to countries with lower environmental and health standards which turn around and use them on crops that are exported right back to the USA. So U.S. consumers end up eating produce grown with the very same pesticides banned in the United States, and it's all perfectly legal and openly accepted by the Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Agriculture.
In the U.S., there's also the issue of so-called "illegal immigrants" (which I believe to be a strange term, since in my opinion there's no such thing as an "illegal" human being). On one hand, U.S. |

 Free-range, organic meats are even better, and eliminating meats from the diet is an ideal choice for many people who are wishing to maximize personal health while greatly reducing the environmental impact of the foods they consume. (Eating meat is worse for the environment than driving an SUV, and cows produce enormous amounts of methane that accelerates global warming.)

 Four consumer advocacy groups (and environmental groups) are now filing a petition with the EPA and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), calling for the agency to start testing air freshener products for this toxic chemical. The four groups include the Sierra Club, Alliance for Healthy Homes and the National Center for Healthy Housing.
All this brings to mind an important question: Why hasn't some government agency taken steps to test these toxic chemicals in air freshener products before? |

 Why doesn't the EPA regulate pharmaceuticals as environmental pollutants? The answer is obvious: Because the EPA mirrors the FDA in its kow-towing to the financial interests of powerful corporations, and it's far easier for the EPA to bury its head in medication-contaminated sand than to take meaningful action to protect the environment from Big Pharma.
Greenwashing is big business, and so is pushing more toxic products to consumers that they will spray on their lawns, shove down their throats, put in their cars or pee away into the sewer system. |

 The toxicity of lead exposure
Both the environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) agree that lead harms virtually every system in the body -- physiologically and psychologically. Lead exposure has been recognized as a health hazard for over 2,000 years and can be of particular danger to small children and fetuses, as even the smallest amount can cause irreversible harm. |
| Shooting ranges could be declared hazardous waste sites by the environmental Protection Agency when they are shut down, and it will cost millions of dollars to clean them up. DOE recognizes the contamination problem that exists at its own shooting ranges, which are used by security personnel. So, it plans to switch from lead bullets to ESPTM bullets for training and security."
According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (www.nssf.org), categories of ranges include handgun outdoors, rifle outdoors, skeet shooting, sporting clays, trap shooting, and cowboy action shooting. |
| In fact, according to the environmental Working Group (EWG), if the lead contained in a single bullet were totally dissolved in the water supply it could contaminate enough water to affect hundreds of thousands of people. Lead accumulates easily in the human body, since it is one of the few elements not eliminated by the kidneys, liver or skin. |
| Currently, very few cities are taking action to reduce the health threat and environmental burden of lead bullets.
Similar to mercury, lead is both a heavy metal and a potent neurotoxin that builds up over time in bones and soft tissue. Lead particles, dust and gases are especially present at shooting ranges because of the lead components contained in most bullets. Unless the ammunition is specifically manufactured to be lead-free, it is always made with lead. |

 It's great for personal health, family health and environmental health. There are no boxes to throw away (it comes in a nice cotton bag) and uses minimal packaging (just a thin plastic wrapper to keep the soap nuts dry). One bag handles more than 200 loads of laundry, making this equal in cost to chemical-based laundry detergents (about 15 cents a load).
We are right now shipping a package of five bags (that's 5 gifts!) for the sale price of $129, which is a $20.75 savings over the regular price of $149.75.
The last time we announced these soap nuts, we sold out in a matter of days. |

 Exposure to environmental toxins (pollution, food additives, radiation, pesticides, and cigarette smoke, for example) stimulates the production of free radicals. If the body is unable to neutralize free radicals, the end result may be damage to the body's cells, tissues, and organs. This damage has been associated with several complications of diabetes, including injury to the heart and blood vessels. In addition, free-radical damage is a well-known cause of the accelerated aging of tissues in the body. |

 And that requires maximizing revenues and creating new opportunities to sell more drugs to more people, regardless of the real cost in human suffering or environmental destruction.
Many of the cancer non-profits have become little more than front groups for the corporations that make money off of cancer. They act as commercial cheerleading squads, pumping up the crowd to go get screened and hopefully get diagnosed with cancer so they'll end up buying high-profit chemotherapy drugs. |

| Food and Drug Administration and the European Union currently regulate triclosan, and the environmental Protection Agency classifies this substance as a probable human carcinogen.
Toothpaste manufacturers claim that triclosan is used because it helps to reduce plaque and kill bacteria, but it actually aids in gum damage and can cause mouth ulcers, say some health experts. These companies like the chemical because it allows them to state the product is a "99.9% bacteria killer" and make claims about the product being a "medicated formula. |

| Let's start with the environment, because the censorship of environmental science has been blatant and extreme.
Under the Bush Administration, government-employed scientists are routinely told they cannot report results indicating the progression of global warming. The United States is the last among industrialized nations to claim that carbon dioxide emissions produced by human civilization have no impact whatsoever on the world climate. This is an utterly ridiculous position, and yet one that U.S. policymakers insist upon. |

 The environmental burden of chemical laundry detergents
I believe that people who wash their clothes in popular, brand-name laundry detergents are in fact washing their clothes in chemical poisons. Even worse, these poisons are washed down stream with every load of laundry, where they ultimately poison aquatic ecosystems and contribute to the toxicity of our rivers and oceans.
There are over 150 "dead zones" in the oceans of the world today where fish cannot live, and nearly all of them have formed where runoff from man-made chemicals meets ocean waters. |
