Rachel’s Environment & Health News
Rachel's Environment & Health News is an electronic newsletter that 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 News never appears in the mainstream media and can only be found in medical and scientific journals that most people never see. Furthermore, Rachel's News 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. Rachel's News has several newsletters on the Precautionary Principle including one entitled, "Fourteen Reasons for Precaution," as well as a listing of a number of related articles and resources.
