BTW, isn’t it ironic that they are meeting in NOLA, the poster child for the harm that can be done by an unstable climate and by peak oil causing the remaining oil to be more difficult to get (i.e. in deepwater wells that we don’t know how to safely drill without catastrophes happening).

Man, you oughta really pester him. See which bills he’s introduced and see if they match any of the ALEC bills. Sometimes you have to compare the actual bill language but you can find ALEC bill language word for word inserted into state bills when you do.

There’s an awful lot that can be done with increased efficiency, or changing from one energy source (oil) to another (solar). Plus better public trans, etc. And there are an awful lot of things in our lives that are environmental toxins and bad for us and don’t even provide a benefit. Example (although this isn’t [...]

Well, as they are in NOLA, they can have some of that oil contaminated seafood to give it a taste and see how it is.

My pleasure. It’s amazing what you find when you dig around the ALEC site a bit. In this case, it helped that I regularly listen to an Industrial Ag radio show to see what they are all up to. It was really sudden when the anti-EPA campaign started last December. One minute, no one had [...]

As the U.S. suffers through catastrophic tornadoes, heat waves, and other climate extremes – no doubt just a small taste of what the climate crisis will bring in the future – polluting industries and the politicians that serve them want to convince you that excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is actually a good thing. Last [...] -
Jill Richardson wrote a new diary post: Why Is The Monterey Bay Aquarium Greenwashing Sewage Sludge?
Today, the nation’s major sustainable food writers and bloggers will converge on Monterey, CA for an incredible invite-only sustainable food conference. The event, Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Cooking for Solutions , which those who attend say is spectacular, has a new sponsor this year: Kellogg Garden Products . Yes, that Kellogg Garden Products. The very same company that has contaminated “organic” [...] -

![Thumbnail](http://www.sourcewatch.org/images/5/5a/Kellogg_Amend_Bag_at_EMA_Organic_Garden.png")
For a non-actress surrounded by movie stars, Debbie Levin , President of the Environmental Media Association (EMA) – an organization founded by Norman Lear – is putting on quite a performance of her own. Too bad it’s more likely to win her a fraud charge than an Oscar, based on her May 6, 2011 letter to her Board provided [...] -

Look for the words OMRI-Listed on soil/compost products. If it’s OMRI-listed it can be used in organics. And check the OMRI website to see if there are any restrictions within that.
Best thing to do, however, is to make your own compost if you can.

A story has been developing over the past month involving lies, toxic sludge, Hollywood celebrities, and poor, inner city school children. It centers around the Environmental Media Association (EMA), a group of environmentally conscious Hollywood celebs, and the “organic” school gardens they’ve been volunteering at for the past past couple years. Stars like Rosario Dawson, Amy [...]

Jill Richardson wrote a new diary post: Food Sunday: I Dare You, Put Sewage Sludge In Your Mouth
A new Washington Post piece by Darryl Fears claims sewage sludge is safe enough to put in your mouth . Specifically, the statement was made about ” Class A Biosolids ,” the treated sewage sludge (renamed “biosolids” to make it sound less unpleasant) that has regulated amounts of 10 heavy metals, salmonella, and fecal coliform. What else might you find [...] -

Jill Richardson commented on the diary post Food Sunday: Indigenous Agriculture in the Andes by Jill Richardson.
Thanks. I definitely agree, but I have to say – what drew me to begin studying other countries is that our country is actively trying to influence the agriculture of developing nations. So learning from them is necessary and wonderful, but also learning about our impact around the world and trying to make sure that [...]

Jill Richardson wrote a new diary post: Food Sunday: Indigenous Agriculture in the Andes
This week, I arrived home from an exhilarating yet challenging trip to Bolivia, where I learned about their food and agriculture. I ended up getting a lot more than I bargained for out of the trip, including learning why the rainforest is being destroyed, how eco-tourism might save it, how Bolivia fits into the drug [...]
