"The greatest enemy of the truth is persistent, persuasive, unrealistic myth." John F. Kennedy. This book debunks much of the accepted truths about the environment using scientific facts, that are verifiable through current scientific literature -- such as 'the air quality in L.A. is better today than it was 30 yrs ago, in most cases bottled water is no better than tap water and many other commonly held beliefs. Originally a collection of columns written for Plating & Surface Finishing Magazine, the writing is often irreverent, but based solely on scientific research from across the globe. This book spreads the 'good news' about the environment because "whatever the reason - bad news always travel faster - and seems more credible than good news." Foreword by Jay Lehr, internationally known environmentalist
