Farmers in India have discovered that common colas, like Coke and Pepsi, can be sprayed on crops and function as an effective and affordable pesticide. Although the Coca-Cola corporation says this is impossible, literally hundreds of farmers now claim the soft drinks kill the bugs on their cotton plants as well as any other pesticide.

A class action lawsuit is being filed in New York and New Jersey against producers of the popular synthetic sweetener aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful, etc.). More than 70% of U.S. adults and 40% of children are now regular consumers of products containing the ingredient, which the FDA reports is tied to everything from headaches to neurological problems to brain tumors. http://www.organicconsumers.org/toxic/aspartame.cfm

Green*light Magazine / February 2, 2005
Green*light magazine is a new endeavor by a group of west coast publishing industry vets who really care about bringing earth-friendly alternatives to the mainstream. And they’ve done their homework: Tapping into the fact that a third of all Americans believe that their everyday actions can make a difference to the planet, the glossy aims to help its readers find products, companies, and answers that keep the health of our environment on the front burner. Armed with stats including the fact that Americans spend $227 billion annually on earth-friendly goods and services and that they invested $2.13 trillion in socially responsible investments in 2003, it appears that for Green*light all systems are go. Subscribe now and you can get your first four issues free. ::Green*light [by MO]
