Unacceptable Levels: Environmental Documentary Needs Our Help

Unacceptable Levels: Environmental Documentary Needs Our Help

By Becky Striepe on September 28, 2012

From the things you eat and drink to cleaning supplies and cosmetics, we come into contact with hundreds of synthetic chemicals on a daily basis, and thanks to laws about proprietary ingredients, companies don’t always have to tell us what it is we’re exposing ourselves to on a daily basis. Unacceptable Levels, a new documentary, wants to change that by educating folks about the chemicals we interact with every day.

Why You Should Watch The Cove

Why You Should Watch The Cove

By Levi Novey on June 10, 2010

In some cases it is undoubtedly true that “ignorance is bliss.” We all must pick our battles in life if only to maintain our sanity. In other cases though, there are simple, easy things we can do that will profoundly better our world– and this is why you should watch The Cove, an exciting, emotional documentary that suggests that we really have to do very little to keep over 20,000 dolphins from being pointlessly slaughtered each year in Japan.

Monsanto's Food, Inc. "Facts"

Monsanto’s Food, Inc. “Facts”

By LiveOAK Staff on June 12, 2009

Monsanto should patent their modification of the word “Fact” While I was working on my review of the movie Food, Inc. I happened upon Monsanto’s “Fact Site” about the movie and thought I’d address some of their “Facts.”  I highly recommend you watch the movie and judge for yourself, but until then here is Monsanto’s [...]

Food, Inc: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter & Poorer

Food, Inc: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter & Poorer

By LiveOAK Staff on May 12, 2009

“How much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families?” For most, the answer is very little. Of all the social and environmental issues we face today, “what we eat” is probably the most important and the most urgent.
