Veggie Power Food Revolution Day is May 17
Food Revolution Day, a col- laborative effort between the Jamie Oliver Food Founda- tion in the United States, the Better Food Foundation in the UK and The Good Foun- dation in Australia, aims to get people around the world talking about real food and
food education. Last year, the global day of action encompassed more than 1,000 events and dinner parties among families and friends, school associates, work colleagues and community neigh- bors in 664 cities in 62 countries.

Pill Chill Birth Control Meds
Foul Global Waters
After ethinylestradiol (EE2), the active ingredi- ent in most birth control pills, has done its duty in preventing pregnancy,
it can begin a second life as a pollutant that harms wildlife, creating “intersex” fish and amphibians, and is difficult and costly to remove from wastewater streams that carry it into natural waterways. EE2 is only one of many synthetic hormones that humans excrete into wastewater. The European Union wants to up-
grade 1,360 wastewater treatment plants to utilize necessary charcoal-filtering technology to tackle EE2 contamination across England and Wales. Meeting pro- posed limits will require expenditures of $41 billion to $47 billion, according to Richard Owen, a professor at the Uni- versity of Exeter, in the UK. In the journal Nature, Owen and
Susan Jobling, Ph.D., an ecotoxicologist at London’s Brunel University, write that more public debate on EE2 regulation is needed. “Animals are exquisitely sensi- tive to it,” observes Jobling. Owen queries: “Are we willing to
pay this cost as a society or would we prefer to live with the environmental impact?”
