How organic agriculture and localised food (and energy) systems can potentially compensate for all greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities and free us from fossil fuels. This DVD is of the launch at the house of commons on 22nd April 2008. Approx duration: 2hrs 30minsmore

Have you ever wondered what being alive is like? What actually happens inside when we go about our business of living? What happens in our tissues, cells and molecules? When we dance, do our tissues, cells and molecules dance too? Do they dance when we sit still? We can show you what happens inside small organisms under a microscope, a special microscope that enables us to see right through to their tissues and cells, and especially their molecules as they are busy being alive.more

Dr. Vyvyan Howard is Head of the Developmental Toxico-Pathology Research Group and a senior lecturer at the University of Liverpool, England. Within the last fifty years the incidence of cancer has grown to almost epidemic proportions. Nearly one in two American males contract some form of cancer. Professor Howard looks at the probable reasons behind this, pointing in particular to the rapid rise in chemical pollution. The use of chemicals by industry has grown exponentially since the Second World War (see clip 3, "Chemical Hygiene"). As a result we are led to absorb into our bodies many thousands of chemicals each year. Some of these are endocrine disrupters which interfere with hormonal activity – especially in foetuses.more

Why Genomics Won't Deliver the Health of Nations. Special ISIS Lecture.

The UK government launched a DNA BioBank in 2002 to collect DNA samples from 500 000 volunteers aged 45-69 to "capitalise on the knowledge from the Human Genome Project, which made available the genetic book of life". The hope is that by combining genetic, medical and lifestyle information, the study will unravel the origins of important diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's, and lead to improved diagnosis, treatment and prevention.more

Michael Meacher supported the ISP in their call for an extended enquiry into GM safety, transparency and independance in scientific research, and an end to the victimisation of scientists whose research findings are 'inconvienient' for industry. All of the speakers feature on the Audio CD's.more
