I didn't know there was a such a panel and I am thrilled to finally hear this from the government. This is really a step in the right direction! Wow!

It's going to be challenging for our country to make the shift, but it's clearly necessary. Good friends of ours are raising their kids green as can be, but in a simple way. Not buying special products, etc., but keeping things simple - homemade baby food, glass containers, food grown themselves, etc. - for environmental and economic reasons. Thanks for writing about this. What steps are you taking personally? This is so scary, but it’s about time it came out to the public.

Wow, thanks. I totally believe there's a link between toxic chemicals in the environment and cancer. I was shocked to read in the NYT that the American Cancer Society has downplayed this report. Good grief! Have they accepted money from lobbyists, too? This is downright scary. Here on Cape Cod, we are trying to stop the utility company from spraying up to five herbicides under the power lines. I went and researched history of our town and discovered in the annual report real concern about pesticides and information on how chemicals cause 75% of all cancer or some such figure. The Chemical industry has been incredibly successful at making us forget such details. I think it is up to bloggers to spread the word. The EPA is trying to regulate toxic chemicals that have never received review. We need to support their effort. You cannot count on the media. I discovered that fact regarding our utility company. Anyway, please write about this again. It is so important for us all, and especially for the children. Thanks! How glad am I to see you writing on this subject! Wow, thanks.
