WILSON WRITES — Uplink Archive

Wilson highlights resources for accessing toxics information, including the Right-to-Know Network and Environmental Working Group's report on toxics-to-fertilizer practices, while noting the Fertilizer Institute's denial of the problem.

WILSON WRITES:

THE RIGHT-TO-KNOW NETWORK (HTTP://WWW.RTK.NET) DOES A GREAT JOB OF MAKING THE TOXICS RELEASE INVENTORY ACCESSIBLE.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP (HTTP://WWW.EWG.ORG) PUBLISHED A HUGE REPORT ON THE TOXICS-TO-FERTILIZER PHENOMENON.

THE FERTILIZER INSTITUTE (HTTP://WWW.TFI.ORG) IS TRYING TO DENY IT IS A PROBLEM.

I FOUND A CANDID HAZARDOUS WASTE RECYCLER AT HTTP://MEMBERS.AOL.COM FOURN6/INDEX.HTML.
