“You are not exposed to one chemical at a time, but a complex mixture of chemicals that changes day by day, hour by hour, depending on where you are and the environment you are in... In the United States alone it is estimated that over 72,000 different chemicals are used regularly. Two thousand five hundred new chemicals are introduced annually-and of these, only 15 are partially tested for their safety. Not one of the chemicals in use today has been adequately tested for these intergenerational effects that are initiated in the womb.” Has BeensTwoDifferentStatesUseTodayUsedHoursUnitedUnited StatesEnvironmentFiveEffectsThousandHundredSafetyComplexesEnvironmentalWhere You AreChemicalsExposedPollutionTestedWombMixtures Author:Theo Colborn

“All the green in the planted world consists of these whole, rounded chloroplasts wending their ways in water. If you analyze a molecule of chlorophyll itself, what you get is one hundred thirty-six atoms of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen arranged in an exact and complex relationship around a central ring. At the ring's center is a single atom of magnesium. Now: If you remove the atom of magnesium and in its exact place put an atom of iron, you get a molecule of hemoglobin. The iron atom combines with all the other atoms to make red blood, the streaming red dots in the goldfish's tail.” IfsWorldWayWholeWaterBloodSixHundredRedGreenComplexesRingsThirtyRemoveIronAtomsTailsCarbonOxygenMoleculesDotsHydrogenStreamingGoldfishNitrogenMagnesiumComplex Relationships Book:PILGRIM AT TINKER CREEK Source: PILGRIM AT TINKER CREEK

“We are accustomed to live in hopes of good weather, a good harvest, a nice love-affair, hopes of becoming rich or getting the office of chief of police, but I've never noticed anyone hoping to get wiser. We say to ourselves: it'll be better under a new tsar, and in two hundred years it'll still be better, and nobody tries to make this good time come tomorrow. On the whole, life gets more and more complex every day and moves on its own sweet will, and people get more and more stupid, and get isolated from life in ever-increasing numbers.” PeopleTryingYearsStillsTwoWholeMovingNumbersRichNiceStupidSweetBecomingTomorrowOfficeHundredPoliceComplexesAffairWhole LifeWeatherChiefsGood TimesIsolatedWiserHarvestAccustomedLove AffairGood Weather Author:Anton Chekhov
