How Safe Is Your Community?

If you are interested in learning about environmental conditions, such as chemicals, radiation, and hazardous waste, that affect the community in which you live check out one of these two sites:

1) Envirofacts
2) Scorecard

The sites integrate environmental information from hundreds of databases and allow you to enter your zip code and see how safe your own community is. The Scorecard site allows you to compare the safety of your community with others in the US and on Envirofacts, you can see which companies in the community around you are dumping the most hazardous waste into the environment where you live. Hmmm....might be more info than you really want to know....or, who knows, maybe it will inspire you to switch to a competitor who is more environmentally sensitive.
