In order to determine whether or not Slow Death by Rubber Duck is a book with valid science I am going to read a lot of the reactions given on amazon, as well as try to find a credible source of review with a science background.
The general consensus based on reader reviews states that Slow Death by Rubber Duck is thought provoking and raises awareness over the dangers of the chemicals in our daily lives. Readers are impressed and appalled by the fact that so many household items which they had considered "safe" were actually the causing long term health issues. They also say that the book makes clear that the chemical companies have a large amount of misinformation. http://www.blueplanetgreenliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Slow-Death-by-Rubber-Duck_500_.jpg
It has been hard not to notice the issues in the environment while growing up. From a very young age the concept of recycling and not wasting has been drilled constantly. The fact that the environment was discussed so much along with our upbringing this generation is very capable of understanding our place in the environment and how we impact it. The media we've been exposed to has also had a large impact on our understanding, movies like Bio Dome, and The Day After Tomorrow really showcase the importance of taking care of the environment. Even though I personally don't understand all the factors for each issue it has been plain to see that polution and littering have negative impacts. Even though many of us haven't experience first hand the effects of polution, it is possible to imagine what it would be like to be on a secluded beach and then minutes later a giant ball of trash washes ashore.
