May 7th, 2010 Posted by Enviro Show

Greetings Earthlings. Happy Air Quality Awareness Week! How’s that “Drill, Baby Drill!” working out for ‘ya? We’ll be looking into some of the slippery characters and their corporado friends responsible for the slippery critters in the unmitigated disaster in the Gulf of Mexico; that during The Enviro Show Echo Chamber. Research professor at the Department of Natural Resources Conservation, UMass Amherst, and leader of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Massachusetts Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Stephen DeStefano joins us to talk about those critters slipping through your yard. His recent book, “Coyote at the Kitchen Door” is making the rounds here in the studio. As usual, we’ll delve into some of the local news in our E-Valley-uation segment and do The Enviro Show Quote of the Week, but first it’s time for….

Revenge of the Critters! Sea Turtles aren’t simply victims of us four-leggeds ‘ya know. Tables turned on the little surfer girl!

What’s The Scents In This?

January 7th, 2010 Posted by Tony Shannon

What’s The Scents In This?
Remember,
Valley Free Radio is a
design-scent-free

You may think, Oh, I don’t wear cologne or perfume.
However allot of deodorants, hair products, aftershave, hand lotion, soap, etc, etc,
Things you wouldn’t normally think about, contain fragrance.
Sometimes they can linger for days.
Some folks at VFR have serious reactions to these products.
Asthma, sinus disorders repeated infections, and some learning disabilities, to mention a few, can be triggered by the chemicals used in an effort to smell “good”. We buy into the advertising, without consideration to potential health risks.
Those that oppose fragrance restrictions feel their rights are being violated, what about the violation of personal air space for the person who has sensitivities? Wearing fragrances is no different than smoking; it should remain a personal choice used in personal air space, but not at the cost of someone else’s health.
We all share the same air space at VFR.
Please keep this in mind when coming to the studio.
Alert any guests coming in as well.
