Pollution...
Oh No -- Chemicals Are Everywhere!
Ecotourism At It's Finest
Singapore Opens Landfill to Tourists
Now What?
Food movement 'harms environment'
Hundreds of years of human progress so that foods grown in one place can move to a place that simply cannot grow them, thus improving nutrition around the world, causing such alarming effects as nearly doubling life expectancy, and now it's bad?! We really need some perspective.

For the record, the mere presence of a toxic material is insufficient to create toxic reactions. Toxicity is based on the presence of a toxic agent, the amount of it present, the pathway of exposure, and the duration of exposure. You would hate your life without toxic chemicals, virtually everything is toxic in some sense. (for example, water, taken through an inhalation pathway is HIGHLY toxic) It's not the "chemical," it's how you handle it.
Trivial and Not So Trivial
Trivial ... EU cracks whip over environment
Not So Trivial ...
RUSSIA is seeking approval to build the first international storage facility for nuclear waste.If you knew what a mess the Soviets have made of almost all things nuclear, you'd know why this is not trivial.
