There is a lot of good information from Rachel's in the list archives. Peter Montague who runs Rachel's (the Environmental Research Foundation) is excellent, and he seldom gets it wrong. Very good online library, along with currently 854 issues of Rachel's Weekly on file there. http://www.rachel.org/ Environmental Research Foundation Definitely a site to bookmark. Rachel's Weekly is usually written by Peter and or Tim Montague. Rachel's Precaution Reporter is more like a news service, material from other sources in Rachel's areas of interest (especially relating to the Precautionary Principle).
