Corporate environmentalism makes good "cents." (more profits resulting from environmental protection measures by corporations) (Column)
Article Abstract:
The adoption of environmentally-sound policies by corporations has resulted in increased savings and profits for them. Among the corporations with environmentally responsible practices are McDonald's Corp and Walt Disney Co. McDonald's environmental waste-reduction measures include making its paper napkins smaller and using corrugated boxes made of 35% recycled materials. Walt Disney, on the other hand, uses fuels for its vehicles which give off clean exhausts and also has facilities for the treatment of waste-water which is used in turn for irrigation purposes.

Environmental forecast looks bright
Article Abstract:
Environmental issues are apparently at the forefront of the new administration's list of priorities. Pres Bill Clinton's pronouncement that the US should be a leader, not a footdragger, in the struggle to save the global environment bodes well for the environment. This is further buttressed by the designation of Carol M. Browner, a prominent environmentalist, as head of the EPA and the strong environmental positions of Vice Pres Al Gore. Fifteen environmental issues are expected to be tackled under the new administration in 1993.

Environmental health: do cellular phones call up EMFs?
Article Abstract:
The possibility that the electromagnetic fields from cellular phones could cause cancer is greatly concerning those who use them, although research has shown that human cells exposed to such fields showed no abnormalities. Many believe that radio frequencies are inconclusive and it is a fact that cases of brain cancer have risen over 20% during the past 20 years. More research is being called for by the AAAS and the EPA.
