Green Acres??

I found the following video on a site I like to visit. The site is Environmental Working Group. Here is a link to their homepage. It's information that affects us all, and they have gathered it all in one place. There are databases of cosmetics, bottled water, what items are safe for children, and a very readable, up-to-date record of the footsie-playing that takes place between big business and our elected officials on issues that affect the quality of our lives. For instance, did you know that there are toddlers that have a contaminant in their systems that is the residue of rocket fuel?? I had no idea, and I haven't seen it mentioned on any mainstream news sites, even those with "health" sections. There are hours and hours of the most unsettling reading here. It is not presented as doom and gloom though. There is a lot of information on what we can do to avoid a lot of these hidden dangers, and how we can help change things. They even deliver info in blog format, with The Mulch Blog and Enviro Blog. Next time you are looking for something informative and entertaining to peruse, check them out. They also maintain a database on recipients of farm subsidies, and that is what the video I have embedded here is about. Mulch Blog provided the code to embed it, otherwise I don't think I could have figgered it out. Thanks, Mulch Blog.
