Poisoned Profits

Why are so many American children – one out of three – sick with autism, ADHD, asthma, birth defects, cancer and other chronic illnesses? Why is infertility on the rise, and the ratio of male babies dwindling? With poignant stories of community and families, Poisoned Profits: The Toxic Assault on Our Children offers the evidence connecting the exponential increase toxic chemicals in our everyday lives to this epidemic among the children of baby boomers, the first to be raised in a truly ‘toxified’ world. It reveals why, even as individual parents and pediatricians struggle to fight illness, one child at a time, the public remains in the dark about the enormity of this national crisis and the toxic assault continues. Published by Random House in August 2008, the book also offers guidance to parents (including pregnant women and pregnancy planning couples) about protecting their children and to all readers as citizens about how to bring about change. It describes where to go for more advice including websites, books, organizations and scientists ready to answer parents’ specific questions.

We are moving!

We are sad to leave our wonderful home at Umass Dartmouth, although Umass Dartmouth will remain a Partner of Bioneers by the Bay and a great friend and ally in the community.

Our new home will be the City of New Bedford, in particular the Zeiterion Theatre and the Historic Downtown. We are very excited to embark on this new adventure, with the City of New Bedford as a Partner of Bioneers by the Bay. Bioneers by the Bay will support the work of the many amazing citizens, organizations and businesses in the city, all working to create deep and positive change in the community. If you have any suggestions please contact us or blog right here.

Hard to believe that it is nearly June already.

Hard to believe that it is nearly June alread but the sun is out, everything is green, and the working bees of the Marion Institute are hard at work breathing life into the 4th Annual Bioneers by the Bay: Connecting for Change gathering. There are many exciting things happening – we are making a new home in downtown New Bedford, we have some of the world’s most influential speakers lined up, a dynamic Youth Planning Committee, and endless possibilities for creating a space where we can come together to find innovative solutions.

This blog is a space for you to share your ideas.

This blog is a space for you to share your ideas, seek advice, learn new things, connect with one another, find rides and places to stay, and keep up with other Bioneers by the Bay happenings. Although the conference itself may only last 3 days, our intention is that the spirit of Bioneers be much bigger – in our eyes, it has already started and will never end. Please help us build this community and contribute to our efforts to cross pollinate and think outside the box by adding your thoughts, questions and dreams to this blog.
