Quotation of the Day for April 28, 2011"Almost 50 years after Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring," and the tide of synthetic chemicals is only rising. We are faced, every day, with an overwhelming number of choices as consumers: Do I choose this detergent or that one? This mattress or that one? The chemical lawn-care company or the "green" one? This shouldn't be so hard. We're talking about washing our children's hair. Or cleaning the sink. Or tending a garden. Why has this become so complicated? And on what information do we make our decisions?" - McKay Jenkins, author of the 2011 book What's Gotten into Us?, on the dangers of chemicals in our environment.
