Just from a web guy's perspective, really good interaction design and IA. Haven't really sussed out the quality of the content yet, but a promising site.

Switchboard, from NRDC :: Jennifer Sasss Blog :: NRDC and coalition protest removal of prominent public health expert from EPA expert panel reviewing PBDEs

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:16:58 -0700

From the page: "The public depends on EPA peer review panels to help ensure the products they use every day are safe,"� Dingell said in the media release. "The EPA seems to have a backwards way of composing these panels. EPA is disallowing scientists who have valid public health concerns about products, while encouraging participation by so-called experts who are paid by the chemical industry."

I'm a dad, but what parent with two small children wouldn't find this useful?

I appreciate resources like these that just tell me simple things I can do at the grocery store and at home for our kids' -- and our planet's -- health.

Shameless horn-tootin': An OnEarth post about finding some unexpected similarities between the 1970s "back-to-the-land" environmentalism of my parents and today's less ideologically driven green movement. Kind of pleased with how it turned out.

EPAs move to regulate mercury emissions rejected - Los Angeles Times

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 18:19:01 -0800

I'm not sure how many people realize how -- on a huge numbers of fronts, against an all-out blitz from the Bush administration -- the nation's environmental lawyers has for eight years fought the administration to a standstill on most of its major initiatives to roll back environmental protections. Time and again, they've been right on the law, and have in many ways warded off a disaster. This mercury story is just a small piece of it. Heroes, I salute you!
