Chapter 8:
1-The vast list of chemicals, bacteria, and toxins found in this sludge, or "biosolid,"is staggering. What I really love is the hard sell that the WEF is trying to make to the American people. Selling it as a "nutrient-rich, organic by-product," well that's just priceless. No wonder there has been so many food recalls.
2-It is disturbing too me that the motive behind the spreading of this waste by-product on farmland was just came down to it being a cheaper option. Really? Is human health that low on the list of priorities?
3-Now the most upsetting thing for me is to know that these "biosolids" are already being spread all across America. California fruit orchards are fertilized with this stuff,but didn't the WEF say not to place this junk near food sources?
4-I can't believe that the ICPABUMWSLRBP is an acronym that exists.
5-The vendor in Islip, NY who died within a year of coming in contact with this sludge. So sad.
My question is: How can the EPA legally be in support of this sludge disposal?
Chapter 9:
1-In the introduction by Mark Dowie, he says that 40% of all news comes to us unedited from a PR firm. Between this statement and that from "The Corporation" which basically showed the corrupting of the first amendment by news outlets I am done with journalists.
2-The E. Bruce Harrison Company refers to the issue of the environment as being just some minor complexity to be worked through.
3-PR person Kathleen (scumbag) Marquardt has chosen the Sierra Club, Nature Conservancy, and Humane Society as her enemies. She goes on to call the Humane Society a "radical animal rights cult." This woman is making tons of money lying to people for corporations. Shame.
4-It is chilling to discover that many of the large environmental organizations have been corrupted by greed. They have been bought out by some of these bad guy corporations, and their non-profit status is paying employees large sums of money.
5-Monsanto's SWAT PR stunt. Spraying inner city neighborhoods with Round-Up is just another sign of environmental injustice.
My question is: Why has our government not stepped into monitor these corporate PR blitzes?

Crazy, crazy, crazy. Makes me just crazy. But it's not journalists, it's the journalists that have cashed in to swith sides to PR. And, fyi, there are PR types that have crossed back, so there is hope, beleive it or not. We'll watch the film version of Toxic Sludge and look for more sanity... The answer, though? Citizen action (even in the face of powerful, rich, giant, unethical corporations and governments.)
