Hi

I watched it ( strange choice of presenter i thought ) but i think it was ok like most programmes it was bringing attention to things that you dont really have to know. I found the figures at the end a bit strange as they could not explain why one had increased and not decreased and then mentioned it could be food. They could have made it on about 5 mins i thought just telling us that man made chemicals are all around you and can be harmful in large quantities.

i will probable watch next week though

There was also a recent article which suggested eco-cover tests its products on animals - algae (otherwise known as daphnia). Eco-cover argued that algae are not exactly 'animals' but I guess it's a matter of opinion.

Ecover agreed to remove the Vegan Society labelling from it's products as the vegan society discovered they tested their products using daphnia. It is not Ecovers opinion that they are not animals, but they are not listed by the EU as animals and therefore not strictly animal testing according to EU standards. However the Vegan society take it as being all life forms, so that's why that happened. The reason they test on those 'creatures' is so that they can say that their products are safe for the environment and do not effect our waterways. It's an odd one, because if the products are safe for the waterways and are not harming these creatures then does it really matter that they are being used in the tests?
