Whitewash: Exposing the Health and Environmental Dangers of Women's Sanitary Products and Disposable Diapers |
Whitewash: Exposing the Health and Environmental Dangers of Women's Sanitary Products and Disposable Diaper - What You Can Do About It
by Liz Armstrong and Adrienne Scott
-- Liz Armstrong and Adrienne Scott have written a remarkably coherent and depressing attack on chlorine and consumerism in Whitewash: Exposing the Health and Environmental Dangers of Women's Sanitary Products and Disposable Diapers. Their arguments against the use of chlorine-bleached products are so convincing that one is astonished that the manufacturers keep putting them on the market, that governments continue to permit it, and that anyone in their right mind would now use such products. What is depressing about this book is that such chlorine-bleached products are still bought and sold, and nobody seems terribly excited about the issue. Review by Brian Fawcett (Books in Canada)
