Extractions: Chestory / Tom Wisner The Department of the Planet Earth was organized in 1991 by citizens from the United States and Canada, concerned about the rapid decline of global environment, global pollution of ecosystems, health injuries from toxins, and lifestyles and economies like that of the United States and Canada featuring such waste that they challenge Earth's future. There has been a proposal to convert the US Environmental Protection Agency into a Cabinet office or Department of the Environment . This effort failed, as well as an effort to write pollution prevention into the charter of the new agency. And so, the concept of a Department of the Planet Earth is still unrealized.

Extractions: Climate Change Debate Heats Up The U.S. Senate is about to embark on a second historic vote on global warming. The Climate Stewardship Act, which was narrowly defeated in the Senate in October, 2003, is expected to be voted on for a second time this summer. The bill by Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (D-CT) is a bipartisan, moderate step that calls for the U.S. to level off global warming pollution to year 2000 levels by 2010. It would focus on pollution from only the most intensively polluting sectors of the economy while excluding individual households and the agriculture sector.

NRDC: Clean Air & Energy: Air Pollution works at every level of government and in the courts to hold power companies, manufacturersand state and local authorities to strict air pollution standards. http://www.nrdc.org/air/pollution/default.asp
Extractions: In the past three decades, environmental measures have cleared up much of the visible pollution that once hovered menacingly over urban areas, but smog, soot and haze persist in many cities and even cloud the views in wilderness areas. Further, we've learned that air pollution can be deadly even if we can't see it. It causes lung disease and cancer. It poisons rivers and lakes, damages trees, and kills wildlife. NRDC works at every level of government and in the courts to hold power companies, manufacturers and state and local authorities to pollution standards. In addition, we use market-based strategies to promote new, less-polluting technologies.

Demand new legislation on chemicals from the government, use your consumer power to shop wisely, and see how we are targetting toxic Disney products with a stickering campaign. We have tested a range of products to see which contain harmful chemicals. Shockingly, the results show children's brand Disney to be amongst the worst offenders.
Extractions: Earth is the "watery planet". Viewed from space it is predominantly blue, as 74 % of its surface is covered by water. Oceans contain 97 % of the earth's water while the remaining 3 % is classified as freshwater. Seventy-seven percent of this surface freshwater is stored as ice and 22% as groundwater and soil moisture. The remaining freshwater, making up less than 1 % of the world total, is contained in lakes, rivers and wetlands. You may be familiar with how water is always cycling around, through, and above the Earth, continually changing from liquid water to water vapor to ice. One way to envision the water cycle is to follow a drip of water around as it moves on its way. I could really begin this story anywhere along the cycle, but I think the ocean is the best place to start, since that is where most of Earth's water is.

The Hidden Dangers Of Water - Natural Health And Longevity Resource Center, The Article on the contamination of drinking water in the US. More than one third of all waterways are reported to be unsuitable for fishing or swimming because of pollution. Most contaminants are sewage and bacteria, fertilizer, toxic metals, oil and grease. http://www.all-natural.com/water.html
Extractions: An EPA report on the status of the nation's lakes, rivers, and estuaries says that while water quality is not getting worse in America, neither is any progress being made. More than one third of all waterways are reported to be unsuitable for fishing or swimming because of pollution. Most contaminants are sewage and bacteria, fertilizer, toxic metals, oil and grease. Typical sources of the pollution include runoff from farms, industrial waste, and city sewer discharge. Newsweek : "Several million Americans are drinking water that is potentially hazardous due to chemical or bacterial contamination." L.A. Times : "Communities with drinking water contamination by chemicals are being hit with strange patterns of illness." ABC Network News : "U.S. Industries...generate some 88,000,000 pounds of toxic wastes a year, 90 percent of which, the E.PA. estimates, are improperly disposed." The New York Times, June 2, 1995: "More than 1 in 5 Americans unknowingly drink tap water polluted with feces, radiation or other contaminants...Nearly 1,000 deaths each year and at least 400,000 cases of waterborne illness may be attributed to contaminated water. .

Fact Sheet: Air Pollution (for New Drivers) Environmental Health Center. Air pollution Fact Sheet (for New Drivers). WhatIs Air pollution? How Can I Reduce My Contribution to Air pollution? http://www.nsc.org/ehc/mobile/airpollu.htm
Extractions: Air pollution is the contamination of air by the discharge of harmful substances. Air pollution can cause health problems including burning eyes and nose, itchy irritated throat, and breathing problems. Some chemicals found in polluted air can cause cancer, birth defects, brain and nerve damage, and long-term injury to the lungs and breathing passages in certain circumstances. Above certain concentrations and durations, certain air pollutants are extremely dangerous and can cause severe injury or death. Air pollution can also damage the environment and property. Trees, lakes, and animals have been harmed by air pollution. Air pollution has thinned the protective ozone layer above the Earth. Air pollution can damage buildings, monuments, statues, and other structures. Air pollution also can result in haze, which reduces visibility in national parks and elsewhere, and can sometimes interfere with aviation. What Are the Major Air Pollutants?
