A GREENIE TELLS THE TRUTH!

"We don't have an answer. We have concern". Find something common and then generating "concern" about it is a pretty good description of the Greenie method

The report, along with other recent studies, suggests that people are exposed daily to such chemicals in the office and at home. Right now, though, scientists can't predict what, if any, harm these chemicals -- known as PBDEs -- have on humans.
