Ask the FDA to Reveal Which Stores Sold Contaminated Foods During Recalls!
Right now, when there is a recall on foods sold in the grocery stores, there is no law requiring the FDA to tell consumers which stores sold the contaminated foods. In order for our food growers, suppliers, and sellers to be held accountable, we need transparency within our food system. Also, when the FDA announces a recall, it would be nice to know if you bought any of the recalled products from the same store, so you can dispose of it and avoid illness. However, the FDA doesn’t currently reveal the store locations that sold recalled food products out of respect for “company secrets”.
Finally, the agency is taking consumer comments on how they can best collect, compile, and publicize retail information. We need to use our voices as consumers to make sure our food is safe for all!
Stop the Williams Fracked Gas Pipeline from being built in New York City Waters!
The Williams Natural Gas Company has recently proposed an extension of the current natural fracked gas pipeline system which would be a 23.4 mile, 26-inch diameter pipeline in New York. The proposed pipeline will originate in Lancaster, PA travel across NJ, under the Raritan Bay from Old Bridge, NJ to the land in the Rockaway Peninsula in NYC. The pipeline will be going straight through the opening of New York Harbor and will span across many of the water ways that feed into our beaches, and estuaries. It will disrupt our environment and the natural marine ecosystem of New York City Waterways. The other problem is that this project would potentially lock NYC into a fossil fuel infrastructure for decades and increase the negative effects from climate change. In the case of a pipeline leak, thousands of pounds of greenhouse gases could be released, similar to what happened in California. Let’s not take steps backwards in the fight for a cleaner energy and better environmental regulations!
