It’s disconcerting and no surprise that chemical plants are terrorist targets, but the BIG question is why isn’t the fact that at least one of the “101 Most Dangerous Chemical Facilities in the U.S.” producing ”laundry and household cleaners, hair care products, toothpaste, deodorants, shave creams and gels, foot sprays, contraceptive foams, hand sanitizers and other products” worthy of front page news and primetime television?  According to this article, this facility alone has the potential to harm up to as many as 1 million people if it were the victim of an attack.  But let’s think for a moment about the 1 million people it has probably already harmed with the products they produce and the 1 million people they will harm in the future; not to mention that its undoubtedly a huge environmental polluter. 

If you’re not already a savvy label reader, now is the time to become a conscious consumer. Make a difference.  Vote with your dollars.
