BBC Request for help -----Original Message----- From: Karen Brown-GW [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 24 August 2007 17:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: BBC Request for help I am developing a six part landmark BBC televsion series looking at the long term and recent effects of artificial chemicals (all things toxic!) on a global scale to our environment, animals and humans. It will be the ultimate global health check and an update on where we stand now - in the 45 years since Rachel Carson wrote her influential and controversial book Silent Spring. Using similar headings as Carson for her book - we will be following the subject headings below in the series. Planet Oceans (and Rivers) Humans Insects, Soils and Funghi Animals, Birds & Fish Our Green Mantle (trees, plants etc) I would be very grateful for any information and/or expert contacts I can speak with concerning the fall out of artificial chemicals globally within your field of espertise. I am keen to get a clear and informed idea of how we have progressed in the past four decades and what present day international examples there might be which we could illustrate in a TV programme in the future. It would be good to hear from a key organisation like yourself on how we are fairing - for better or worse. Also are there new and positive examples/projects where previously known situations (where chemicals/toxins have been a problem to the environment, animals and/or us) which is being or has since been remedied by positive action or new and advanced methods? The bigger and more global the projects - the better! I have looked through quite a few of the WWF sites including the toxic campaign - which have been a great help - but it would be good to talk to individuals . I look forward to hearing from you.
