Perturbateurs endocriniens : les ONG identifient 22 perturbateurs hormonaux à réglementer d'urgence Les perturbateurs endocriniens (PE), des produits chimiques qui interfèrent avec le système hormonal, sont de plus en plus associés à tout un ensemble d’impacts sanitaires dont certains cancers, le diabète, les troubles comportementaux ou du déficit de l’attention, ainsi que les atteintes à la fertilité. Les 27 Etats-membres de l’UE se sont accordés dans le cadre de la procédure d’autorisation de Reach [1] à limiter strictement les usages des substances extrêmement préoccupantes (ou SVHC) [4]. Néanmoins, ce processus est lent et, à ce jour, seulement 46 substances ont été identifiées comme SVHC et versées à la "liste candidate" de Reach, et aucune d’entre elles sur la base des seules propriétés de perturbation endocrinienne. L’intérêt de la liste SIN. Sur la liste SIN (Substitution Immédiate Nécessaire), figurent des substances chimiques toutes identifiées comme SVHC selon les critères de Reach. Et en France ?

Slow Movement The Slow Movement advocates a cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace. It began with Carlo Petrini's protest against the opening of a McDonald's restaurant in Piazza di Spagna, Rome in 1986 that sparked the creation of the Slow Food organization. Over time, this developed into a subculture in other areas, such as Cittaslow (Slow Cities), Slow living, Slow Travel, and Slow Design. Geir Berthelsen and his creation of The World Institute of Slowness[1] presented a vision in 1999 for an entire "Slow Planet" and a need to teach the world the way of Slow. "It is a cultural revolution against the notion that faster is always better. Professor Guttorm Fløistad summarizes the philosophy, stating: "The only thing for certain is that everything changes. The Slow Movement is not organized and controlled by a single organization. Cittaslow[edit] The goal of the Cittaslow movement is to resist the homogenization and globalization of towns and cities.

Financial Data to see financial transparency info. About: The Zeitgeist Movement Defined is the official, representative text of the global, non-profit sustainability advocacy organization known as The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM). This tediously sourced and highly detailed work argues for a large-scale change in human culture, specifically in the context of economic practice. However, in the early 21st century, these problems have risen prominently, taking the consequential form of increasing social destabilization and ongoing environmental collapse. While largely misunderstood as being "utopian" or fantasy, this text walks through, step by step, the train of thought and technical industrial reordering needed to update our global society (and its values) to enable these profound new possibilities.

TZM Frequently Asked Questions (1) What is The Zeitgeist Movement? The Zeitgeist Movement is an explicitly non-violent, global sustainability advocacy group currently working in over 1000 Regional Chapters across 70 countries. The basic structure of The Movement consists of Chapters, Teams, Projects & Events. Overall, the Chapters are essentially what define the Movement and each Chapter works to not only spread awareness about the roots of our social problems today but also to express the logical, scientific solutions and methods we have at our disposal to update and correct the current social system and create a truly responsible, sustainable, peaceful, global society. It is the assumption of The Movement that the educational/activist pressure generated, coupled with what is currently a failing social system, will inhibit and override the established political, commercial and nationalist institutions outright, exposing and resolving the flaws inherent.
