the size of your air conditioning
unit.

- These
reductions alone can save you thousands of dollars
in building costs!

Speak
with someone who knows...
Contact
your local electric company. Ask for the person who runs
their Energy Efficient Housing Program. Just say the
following to them and you will be surprised at all the
information you will get... "I am building a
new home. Should I use fiberglass batting or should I
use Better Insulation?" Then, when they tell
you about how they recommend Cellulose or Foam or any of
the alternatives available, and why, come back here and
contact a Better Insulation Contractor on this site!
(Being public servants, they can't recommend a
particular company, but they do recommend Better
Insulation and will tell you how much money you can
save!)

Department of Health & Human Services adds
Fiberglass to the list of probable carcinogens...
5/15/2000 - United States Department of Health
and Human Services, National Toxicology Program has just
released Ninth Annual Report on Carcinogens.
Conclusion: Fiberglass is still "reasonably
anticipated to cause cancer in humans." This
report is now on-line. Or, just
read the part about fiberglass. (PDF) Fiberglass was
first listed in 1994 after a huge battle, in which the
fiberglass industry pulled every trick in the book to
prevent this listing. And the battle goes on for
our safety and environment. |

Victims
of Fiberglass - Five Years Later...
Five years after the
Victims of Fiberglass group helped place fiberglass on a
list of substances for priority action by the United
States Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA),
fiberglass lobbyists cut a deal with the federal
government. The agreement precludes formal regulations
in exchange for industry's acceptance of a weak exposure
standard and more or less voluntary compliance.
Exposure monitoring is the responsibility of producers
and end users. We provide a verbatim
copy of the press release. Like trusting the wolf to
watch the sheep is how we read it. |
