Recently someone on LinkedIn posted something praising Rachel Carson and Silent Spring, which should be listed in the Science Fiction Section of the library, or better yet, thrown out. As I read the comments I thought it's been 25 years since the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) released Big Fears, Little Risk narrated by Walter Cronkite. This is a short documentary lasting about a half hour helping society to come to grips with reality involving chemicals, synthetic and naturally occurring. We need to understand that if something is “chemical free”, it doesn’t exist.
I can no longer find it on ACSH’s web site, but it comes in three parts on You Tube. It only runs for about a half hour, please take the time to enjoy:
Big Fears, Little Risk Part 1
Big Fears, Little Risks Part 2
Big Fears, Little Risks Part 3
