- How To Contribute To Environmental Conservation
By: Art Gib | - Now more than ever, it is very important for each of us to take an interest in the health of our planet. While the issue of global warming is a very politically-charged one, the science does in fact show that an increase in greenhouse gasses (which occur naturally anyway) due to human activities is capturing more and more of the sun's heat.
Perhaps even more immediately threatening is the accumulation and fall of acid rain. This gradually deadens or deforms lakes, ponds, and othe ...

- Environmental Science Education
By: jacobson | - The world is changing faster now than at any time since the last ice-age 10,000 years ago and the major cause of that change is man. To allow the changes to continue unchecked is reckless at the least. Monitoring those changes and being able to convince others that we have to do or not do activities that affect the environment will take well qualified people with the relevant environmental science degree. Never before, as a society, have we paid real attention to the environment and many would a ...

- Is Vitamin E Lethal?
By: Wysong | - Recently the news carried the story that a researcher had discovered that taking vitamin E at a level of 400IU or more increases the risk of death. (Jan 2005, Annals of Internal Medicine http://www.annals.org/content/vol142/issue1/) I was immediately suspicious because I have studied the scientific literature on vitamin E for over two decades and have come to the exact opposite conclusion. Hundreds of studies have shown the beneficial effects of vitamin E on numerous modern diseases including ca ...
