EWG has long known the Toxic Substances Control Act (aka “TSCA”) needs to be overhauled. Most Enviroblog readers likely do, too - because we talk about it a lot.

But the notion that the nation’s federal chemicals policy is toothless and ineffective isn’t likely dinner table talk across America - yet.

Thanks to Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s discussion of the problem on CNN earlier this week, it might be soon. Watch this 4-minute segment to get the basics on why TSCA should be reformed - now:

If 4 minutes isn’t enough for you, be sure to catch Dr. Gupta’s hour-long special on the subject, Toxic Town USA. It debuts on CNN March 20th @ 8 PM eastern.

When going from San Francisco to Los Angeles, Which is more green Flying or Driving. A recent article in VIA magazine raised this question and found that for two people, driving resulted in few greenhouse gas emissions by about 6%.  Flying was cheaper, took less time, and had more than an order of magnitude less change of a fatal accident.  If you had 4 people in the car, driving would be a lot more green.

When you take in all the data points, on a short journey like this, flying or driving does not make a big difference in eco friendly green-ness.  Someday (2018?) the new high speed train will be available as a more green option.

If you are a teacher/educator and have always wanted to experience an incredible ecological expedition to Costa Rica but thinks it’s too expensive, this may be the trip for you.

EcoTeach, an eco-tour provider since 1994, is offering a special itinerary designed for budget-minded teachers on summer vacation. From beaches and turtles, to highlands and volcanoes and many adventures in-between, educators will get shoulder-to-shoulder with local community members dedicated to protecting their environment.

Since 1994, over 8,000 travelers have journeyed with EcoTeach to Costa Rica, Mexico and Peru working side by side with local communities to change perceptions and behavior regarding conservation and ecology.

Participants of the Costa Rican educators’ excursions will patrol Caribbean beaches in search of nesting and hatching turtles by night, and cruise the canals by day searching for a vast array of wildlife and fauna.

Visiting an organic farm and a rural school, they will have the…

Instilling green values in our children is more important now than ever before. We take the time to teach our children study habits, math, and reading, to prepare them for college.  We also teach them to manage their money, and spend their allowances wisely. We do these things because we care about their future. But [...]

How many of you sew?  It is a lost art but really rewarding.   I learned to sew in junior high and did not pick sewing back up until two years ago.  While sewing window seat cushions,  I found  that I could no longer see when I was sewing.  The little light on the machine and the overhead lights in the room were not enough light.  I just chocked it up to getting older and grabbed my fluorescent office lamp and parked it right on top of the machine.   Am I the only one who finds that little light on a sewing machine is made  for superman’s eyes.

Well, designer Patty Doyle of  Robo Whittler LLC decided to shed some light where needed.  She designed the See and Sew LED sewing light.  Well,  my old strained eyes just perked right up.  An LED sewing light?  Love LEDs.  They give a beautiful directional light which would make sewing more of a pleasure instead of a squinting nightmare.

When Patty and I spoke via email, I could not envision her LED light.  Was it…
