This Book Helped Save the Planet—but Created a Very Harmful Myth

It radically shifted the way the world looked at the environment, but created a wave of misinformation we’re still dealing with today.

Hey #KatieMacBride. Are you aware of this?!!

What Were We Thinking? The Top 10 Most Dangerous Ads

A look back at 10 colossally painful advertisements.

"Let them eat lead."
"DDT is good for me."
"Douche with Lysol."
"Drink Radium Water."

I could go on and on. And yes, I briefly worked in advertising, so I know how #propaganda works!

What a bunch of hooey! Yes, Uranium is natural and should be kept in the ground!!! smh Hey, remember the ads that used to tout, "DDT is good for me!" Yeah, about that. Should we fear ALL chemicals? Of course not. More like, should we fear being LIED to by #BigChemical, who have told us stuff was safe when in fact it wasn't. It seems the author doesn't want to acknowledge the harm done by greedy capitalists, and maybe she should start drinking Roundup to see how "safe" it is. smh.

"Uranium is natural."
