One LED, not x-rays picture 2

Let me reiterate, there is no such thing as low penetration x-rays.  If you walk through the scanners, you are risking your life.  It is not worth it.  Please stop.

One LED, not x-rays picture 1

I just took action against the Tar Sands. I hope you will, too.

Hi,

I just took an important action for our environment, and I hope you will too. It’s time for US companies to clean dirty Tar Sands oil from their transportation footprint. Companies as different as Whole Foods and Walgreens have acted to remove Canada’s Tar Sands from their footprint. Who’s next?

Will you send a message to Walmart and Safeway today?

Oil from Canada’s Tar Sands is worse than conventional fossil fuels in almost every way. In addition to its heavier carbon footprint, the Tar Sands also involve more toxic water discharges–and more acid rain and smog causing chemicals–than conventional sources. That destruction is being financed by fuel and transportation services linked to Canada’s Tar Sands oil.

Please, take action against the Tar Sands: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/281/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2226

UCSF biochemistry prof says Obama administration’s claim that scanners are safe is based on “many misconceptions.” He and his colleagues are preparing a response.
