Breast cancer screening can no longer be justified, because the harm to many women from needless diagnosis and damaging treatment outweighs the small number of lives saved, according to a book that accuses many in the scientific establishment of misconduct in their efforts to bury the evidence of critics and keep mammography alive. Peter Gøtzsche, director of the independent Nordic Cochrane Collaboration, has spent more than 10 years investigating and analysing data from the trials of breast screening that were run, mostly in Sweden, before countries such as the UK introduced their national programs.

Plastic – a resource that is grossly
Undervalued
Life is Easy
In this video you will watch a man from Japan who has invented a machine that can convert plastic into oil. “The other day I saw an empty drink bottle standing on the beach. At high tide it would be embarking on a long sea journey, and probably end up breaking up and being mistaken for food by some sea creature. The person who left it standing there is actually supporting species extinction! Plastic waste can either be deadly or useful. We need to value it with an attractive price per kilo and reuse it. As with bottles and aluminium cans, as soon as we choose to see it as valuable, the environment will be free of much of it.” Text contributed by Veda Turner
"Life is easy" says Jon Jandai. "Why do we have to make it so difficult?" After pursuing "success" in Bangkok for several years, Jo dropped out of university to return to village life. There, he went back to the life he knew as a child, working 2 months of the year to grow rice (with an additional 15 minutes a day to grow vegetables), dug a couple of fish ponds, built his own homes using earthen bricks, and gave up buying clothes (he has so many clothes from friends and visitors that he has to give them away). Jo contends that to be happy, we cannot just rely on money; we have to reconnect with each other.
