Product Information
Mark Schapiro_s Sex and Plastic does to huge swaths of the consumer landscape what Eric Schlosser_s Fast Food Nation did to the assembly line version of a burger and fries. The results of his work are unsettling. Sex and Plastic should be required reading for anyone concerned about their health. It is one of the most important books on consumer safety you will ever read. Mark Schapiro_s revelations will spark a sea change in the way American consumers think about everyday products, as well as the future of environmentalism and the roles we can all play in protecting ourselves from a variety of hidden dangers. Exploring the way changes in the European Union_where stricter consumer safety standards have forced multinationals into manufacturing safer products_Schapiro_s exposé shows that, short of strong government intervention, America will lose whatever claim it had to commercial supremacy. Increasingly, its products are equated with serious health hazards, the same hazards that the European Parliament is legislating out of existence in its powerful trading block. Exploring the way chnges in the European Union - where stricter consumer safety standards have forced multinationals into manufacturing safer products - Schapiro's expose shows that, short of strong government intervention, America will lose whatever claim it had to commercial supremacy. Increasingly, its products are equated with serious health hazards, the same hazards that the European Parliament is legislating out of existence in its powerful trading block. Increasingly, the world looks to Europe for solutions to the most pressing issues of our time, from new energy development, to the environment, to basic human rights like universal health care and a decent standard of living. The United States is in decline. Even China, the world_s largest consumer market, now argues that the only way to avoid an environmental meltdown is to follow the path forged by the Europeans. In Sex and Plastic Schapiro takes the reader inside this power shift, which has gone almost wholly unreported in the United States. He shines a light on Europe_s evolving search for higher standards that has allowed Brussels, and not Washington, to emerge as the center for global markets innovation in the 21st century. Schapiro_s revelations will anger some readers, and inspire still others to action.

Americans' confidence in their government-sanctioned environmental and consumer protections receives another blow in investigative reporter Schapiro's exposé, which explores such discomforting information as the 2005 U.S. Centers for Disease Control tests that found 148 toxic chemicals "in the bodies of 'Americans of all ages.'"…Schapiro (co-author, with David Weir, ofCircle of Poison: Pesticides and People in a Hungry World) discovers toxins in personal care products, toys, electronics and foods which are, in some cases, manufactured solely for U.S. consumption, and traces them to the people and events responsible. —Publishers Weekly, 8/07, "Listen up, American business, and save yourselves while you still can. Time and again in his career, journalist Mark Schapiro has been years ahead of the pack in unveiling stories that reveal the emerging global future. This time, Schapiro shows that Europe, by taking the environmental high road, is cleaning America's economic clock (not to mention exposing its people to much less pollution). The markets of the future are green. America will lose them if it doesn't get smart, soon." - Mark Hertsgaard, author of Earth Odyssey and The Eagle's Shadow, Listen up, American business, and save yourselves while you still can.
