Dear Stewart Brand: If we can't trust your claims on DDT, why should we trust you on anything else?
The environmentalist is refusing to retract false claims that there was a
worldwide ban on pesticide DDT. Does his obstinacy mask a hidden,
pro-corporate agenda elsewhere

How to Raise Boys Who Read
By THOMAS SPENCE
When I was a young boy, America's elite schools and universities were almost entirely reserved for males. That seems incredible now, in an era when
headlines suggest that boys are largely unfit for the classroom. In
particular, they can't read.
According to a recent report from the Center on Education Policy, for example, substantially…

Why You Should Buy Organic Cotton
13 comments
The Environmental Justice Foundation lists several of the pesticides used in cotton growing: Aldicarb, Endosulfan, Monocrotophos, and Deltamethrin. These chemical products can cause harm to humans. Aldicarb is listed by the World Health Organziation as “extremely hazardous,” The Institute of Science in Society says that one drop can be fatal to an adult male. Endosulfan was reported to have caused 24 confirmed deaths of cotton workers in the African nation of Benin in… Continue

Food Sovereignty: Reconnecting Food, Nature and Community
By Raj on 09/16/2010 in Uncategorized
I’m dead excited to read a new anthology of pieces on food sovereignty, edited by my friends Annette Desmarais, Nettie Wiebe, and Hannah Wittman. I’ve got a piece in it (a version of which is here) but the reason to be excited lies not only in the cross-section of individual analyses, but also in the arc that Annette, Nettie and Hannah trace through the book. Food Sovereignty jacket-FINAL (lo-res). More details here.…

Could This Be a Crime? U.S. Climate Bill Is Dead While So Much Life on Our Earth Continues to Perish
Crossposted with ClimateStoryTellers
Imagine you live in New York City, and one fine morning you awake to the realization that 90 percent of all the buildings that were more than five stories tall have been destroyed. You will hardly have the words
to talk about this devastation, but I'm sure you will walk around the
rubble to make sense of it all.…
