Yes, Detergent Pods Are Plastic. No, You Shouldn’t Worry About Them. If you think your detergent pods are contributing to microplastics pollution, think again.

Tracking Fracking | Watershed Sentinel In light of new research on health impacts, a working group is renewing calls to to add fracking chemicals to Canada's National Pollution Release Inventory.

Fracking pumps hidden chemicals into land, water, and air, yet in Canada, these toxics are still exempt from public reporting. Tracking Fracking asks: why are communities denied the right to know what’s in their environment?
