Answers
to Common Questions about Beyond Pesticides' Daily News Blog:
What
Is A Blog?
"Blog"
is an abbreviated version of "weblog," which is a term used
to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information.
Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow
subject or a whole range of subjects.
What
is the Daily News Blog?
The Beyond Pesticides
Daily News Blog features a post each business day on the health
and environmental hazards of pesticides, pesticide regulation and policy,
pesticide alternatives and cutting-edge science. Daily News is
a service of Beyond Pesticides that is intended to keep activists, academicians,
policy makers, the health care community, and pest managers informed on
key issues and actions that are ongoing and important to the protection
of public health and the environment. Daily News is intended
to provide a tool for action as we seek to effect a shift in policies,
practices and products to safeguard the health of people and the environment.
Where
are the old Daily News stories?
Beyond

period 8/13/2000-1/12/2007, the archive is located at old
