@PositiveMagazine - I don't understand. You did not ask the Head of the EPA about the deadly Corexit that is being used? What about the toxic ratings of the VOC's spewing out of the Gulf Volcano? This is pathetic. We need press doing just that, PRESSING. Get back out there and ask some real questions that can SAVE lives!

@KineticTruth It was an honor to interview Lisa Jackson as she wasn't scheduled to speak to press and I was the only member of the press she allowed to interview her. I can forward your questions to her assistant and post a follow up. It help when you're more constructive in your comments rather than being critical.

Ditto on Corexit. What is taking so long for the testing to be completed? One test has been completed by the EPA. The UK banned it. BP used it underwater; this is only supposed to be applied airborne. Chairman of the Subcommittee for Energy and Environment Edward J. Markey requested EPA responses in a letter dated May 17 to Lisa Jackson. Where are the answers? No wonder so many people are getting sick in the SE states, including me!
