Proctor & Gamble Sued Over Ingredients List
Have you ever tried to find an ingredients list for a bottle of dish soap? It's nearly impossible. Sometimes mainstream corporations will publish ingredients on their website but more often than not, their formula is so secret that they won't tell you what you putting on your dishes. This very issue is what drove a lawsuit against the likes of Procter & Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive by environmentalists.Six different organizations including the Sierra Club and the American Lung Association have banded together to file suit against several detergent making companies. Representing the claimants is Earthjustice, a non-profit public interest law firm in New York.
The crux of the suit falls on the New York's Environmental Conservation Law passed in 1976 that requires companies to file ingredients lists semiannually with the State of New York. Not surprisingly, the only two companies who have been in compliance are Method and Seventh Generation. The rest were put on notice last September.
I would like to see more ingredients listed on detergents that line the shelves. Then again, I spend most of my time cleaning with vinegar.

I did a big grocery shopping run over the weekend. I hate to admit that something as simple as shopping for groceries has gotten out of hand for me. I now shop two stores. I choose Whole Foods for various specialty items in addition to dairy, organic produce and chocolate croissants (doesn't everyone?!). I save the big stores for everything else. That's where I found myself on Sunday.
Throughout history, society's mass fears have worked their way into the quaint psychoses of each generation. Whether it's the threat of nuclear annihilation, AIDS, going to school in your underwear, or just about anything else that you can have bad dreams about, seemingly unrelated cases of mental illness can be fixated on a single delusion.

As I was growing up in Vermont, it was pretty much understood that you take your shoes off at the door year round. You did this at your own home as well as those that you were visiting. It helped to keep the snow and mud tracked in down to a minimum. Once I moved to the South, I realized that this is not a common practice everywhere. It's unfortunate because tracking the outside in can be

As seed catalogs start pouring into your house (or your browser), you might be stuck with an array of choices beyond which tomato to choose. Words like heirloom and organic get thrown around a lot and I specifically wanted to know what made organic seeds different than conventional.
