Plastic waste has been accumulating in the oceans since as far back as the 1920s; just a few years after Leo Baekeland accidentally invented the first type of plastic called bakelite, back in 1907. The use of plastic exploded in the 1950s, and scientists began documenting the problem of plastic pollution in the oceans as […]

When considering where our food comes from, what do you picture? Humble farmers cultivating crops in lush fields? Large tractors pulling in big harvests? Perhaps a few pesticide workers trying to deter pests and weeds? No matter how you envision the farming process, chances are the regular application of toxic sewage in the form of […]

Would you eat food grown in soil that had been fertilized with human feces? There’s a good chance that you already have, and you probably didn’t even know it. Under the EPA’s controversial 503 rule, human waste has been approved for so-called land application, provided it has undergone treatment that supposedly transforms sewage sludge into […]

The environmental disaster that was caused by the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant accident continues to persist, even today. While the mainstream media continues to push the belief that everything is just fine and dandy — this simply isn’t the whole truth. Migratory fish, specifically bluefin tuna and albacore tuna, have tested positive for two radioactive […]

The “unimaginable” levels of radiation at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant have been widely reported on; in early February 2017,  Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) reported that the radiation levels inside reactor 2 had reached a devastating 530 sieverts per hour. Just a mere five sieverts is enough to be lethal in a matter of months, […]

It is embedded into the nature of man to choose to believe a lie rather than face the uncomfortable truth. But over time, as liars become louder, prouder and demand obeisance, the truth bubbles up to reveal the bevy of systematic lies hiding behind the CO2 curtain. Such is the case with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as pointed out by Realclimatescience.com. […]

As the theory of man-made climate change continues to crumble, especially with the incoming Trump administration, one of the biggest names perpetuating its merits is taking a new approach to dealing with detractors: lawsuits. Michael Mann, a professor from Penn State who reached fame status for his “hockey stick” portrayal of global warming trends — an […]

General Electric, commonly referred to as “GE,” doesn’t have the best reputation; the company’s history is rife with criminal, civil, ethical and political offenses. But perhaps one of the most morally questionable aspects of GE centers on an event that happened across the globe: the Fukushima nuclear accident. The corporate giant designed five of the […]

Cellphones are one of the most popular devices around today; almost everyone seems to have them. But these seemingly innocent electronics are hiding a dark secret: countless innocent gorillas have been slaughtered by militia groups and miners seeking an ore known as “coltan” that’s used to make cellphones. Coltan is mined and exported to China […]

Have you ever wondered how “Big Pharma” attained the power it now has over our system of medicine? Or why our food, water and air – our most precious resources – are all now polluted by deadly chemicals that are completely unnecessary for our existence and that never should have been approved for use in […]

A just-released book is a must-read for everyone who has even suspected that the federal government has engaged in political chicanery for the sake of pushing a narrow agenda. As reported by The Daily Caller, the new book, “Scare Pollution,” documents how the Environmental Protection Agency has been basing its job-and-opportunity-killing air pollution regulations on […]

When you’re coming up with a resolution for 2017, why not take a look outside of yourself? While everyone else is vowing to take more walks or finally lose those last 10 pounds – all admirable goals, of course – you could be seizing the opportunity to make the world a better place for everyone. […]

In a frightening leap towards tyranny, North Dakota Republicans have introduced a series of bills that observers say are directly aimed at impinging upon the First Amendment rights of protestors, including those that have been congregating for months at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation where the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) is set to be […]

At the end of November, it was announced that the Environmental Protection Agency’s Inspector General would finally be examining the agency’s lack of regulation and failure to oversee large livestock operations. Several environmental groups are also planning on filing suit. For the last decade, factory farming endeavors have basically been given a pass when it […]

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which was founded in 1970, is now considered a rogue agency which has outlived its purpose. A federal judge has denounced the EPA, which should be dismantled and replaced. EPA administrator Gina McCarthy was sued in 2014 by Murray Energy Corporation and its affiliates, alleging that the agency was […]
