Antibiotics are given to farm animals not to keep them healthy, but to fatten them for market. This overuse of antibiotics contributes to bacterial resistance to antibiotics, meaning that antibiotics may be ineffective when used to treat disease. A federal court has just ordered the FDA to reconsider its refusal to ban such use, stating that the agency "failed to address the substantial scientific evidence...[that use of these drugs] poses risks to human health," according to a press release by the National Resources Defense Council.

Currently, once a person earns $110,100, they no longer have to pay Social Security taxes. Many of us don't come close to earning this much. However, in 2011, the CEO of KKR & Co. paid off his Social Security taxes for the year before Jan. 10, 2011, six working days into the new year. If the income cap were removed, social security would be safe--probably forever.

On June 2, the Hanalei Farmers Market was ended suddenly with no advance notice to the 56 vendors who depend on it to make a living. The leaders of Hale Halawai, the non-profit organization that runs the market, say the closure is due to "unresolved parking and permit issues." They also said they were threatened with a lawsuit by unnamed individuals in the community. The closure of this marketplace would be debilitating for the people who share their locally-made treasures there: farmers, artisans, food vendors, and experts on Hawaiian culture. Consequently, these locals would have less income to put back into the community, creating ripple effects for everyone. To preserve the Hanalei Farmers Market and its invaluable contribution to the island of Kauai, the county would need to take the following steps: 1) Expedite the amendment of the current Special Use Permit and any other permits needed to enable the market to resume operations immediately. 2) Allow market guests to park in a designated area at nearby Waioli Park. 3) Keep the market open until these matters are resolved. The Hanalei Farmers Market is a blessing to our island. It must be saved. Mahalo!

According to a Chicago Tribune investigative series, “A deceptive campaign by the chemical industry brought toxic flame retardants into our homes and into our bodies. And the chemicals don't even work as promised.” Since 2008, the CPSC has been working on a draft furniture flammability standard that would stop fires from starting in furniture fabric. This new standard will prevent the use of untested and toxic chemicals in the foam inside furniture. We need the CPSC to enact this standard so we can buy furniture and baby products that are both fire resistant and toxics free.
