I don’t know whether people have seen my map of trends for 2009+ but it has just occurred to me that I’ve missed a risk, namely bisphenol-A (basically the thought that certain plastics could be killing us). In 2004 6.4 billion tons of the stuff were made and production is growing at 10% per year. Puts the credit crunch into perspective.
How about a link to the map?
bisphenol-A has been voluntarily dropped from all baby products in Canada by the manufacturers themselves. That says a lot. There is a documentary done by CBC http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2008/disappearingmale/ that discusses some of the dangers of bisphenol-A and its class of hormone disruptors.
Quite right!
