Rachel's Environment & Health News
Rachel Carson, the famous scientist and writer, published Silent Spring in 1962, warning that toxic industrial chemicals and pesticides would cause irreparable harm to the environment and to human health. In 1986, we began publishing Rachel's Environment & Health News, which we named in honor of Rachel Carson. Rachel's provides timely information on toxic substances and other environmental hazards. The newsletter covers many technical issues, such as the toxicity of dioxin, incinerator emissions, rising cancer rates, and the intricacies of risk assessment, but it is written in plain language that anyone can understand. Much of the information covered in Rachel's never appears in the mainstream media and can only be found in medical and scientific journals that most people never see. Furthermore, Rachel's tries to put environmental problems into a political context of money and power, so that people can see how all our problems - and all our local fights -- are connected. To address these "big picture" concerns, we discuss issues such as the influx of money into our elections, the enormous influence of multinational corporations, and other distortions of our democracy.

Renewable Energy Action Program
The REAP coalition was formed to create a diverse, yet unified voice of support for renewable energy development.
