Eco-News Roundup: Friday, July 3

Before you head for the beach, some science, environment, and health posts from our other blogs to kick off your holiday weekend:

Geeks’ Green Dreams: Silicon Valley techies can’t bankroll green energy on their own (much as they might like to). That’s why we need creative incentives, and not just tax credits.

Healthcare Humdinger: If you’re confused by the Congressional Budget Office’s latest healthcare cost estimates, you’re not alone.

Lies Your Sunscreen Tells You: SPF 100? All-day protection? Sweat-proof? Uh, not quite. Plus: Want to get enough vitamin D? Here’s how, no tanning salon required.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
