The Hanford Plaintiffs: Voices from the Fight for Atomic JusticeFor more than four decades beginning in 1944, the Hanford nuclear weapons facility in southeastern Washington State secretly blanketed much of the Pacific Northwest with low dose ionizing radiation, the byproduct of plutonium production. For those who lived in the vicinity, many of them families of Hanford workers, the consequences soon became apparent as rates of illness and death steadily climbed despite repeated assurances from the Atomic Energy

For more than four decades beginning in 1944, the Hanford nuclear weapons facility in southeastern Washington State secretly blanketed much of the Pacific Northwest with low-dose ionizing radiation, the byproduct of plutonium production. For those who lived in the vicinity, many of them families of Hanford workers, the consequences soon became apparent as rates of illness and death steadily climbed--despite repeated assurances from the Atomic Energy Commission that the facility posed no threat. Trisha T. Pritikin, who has battled a lifetime of debilitating illness to become a lawyer and advocate for her fellow "downwinders," tells the devastating story of those who were harmed in Hanford's wake and, seeking answers and justice, were subjected to yet more suffering.

At the center of The Hanford Plaintiffs are the oral histories of twenty-four people who joined In re Hanford Nuclear Reservation Litigation, the class-action suit that sought recognition of, and recompense for, the grievous injury knowingly caused by Hanford. Radioactive contamination of American communities was not uncommon during the wartime Manhattan Project, nor during the Cold War nuclear buildup that followed. Pritikin interweaves the stories of people poisoned by Hanford with a parallel account of civilians downwind of the Nevada atomic test site, who suffer from identical radiogenic diseases. Against the heartrending details of personal illness and loss and, ultimately, persistence in the face of a legal system that protects the government on all fronts and at all costs, The Hanford Plaintiffs draws a damning picture of the failure of the US Congress and the Judiciary to defend the American public and to adequately redress a catastrophic wrong. Documenting the legal, medical, and human cost of one community's struggle for justice, this book conveys in clear and urgent terms the damage done to ordinary Americans in the name of business, progress, and patriotism.

Great! Unscented
Flavor Name: Unscented, Size: 1 count (Pack of 5)
Good natural ingredients, you can tell by the scent and texture and the ingredients list is spot on, no lies. This is perfect for sensitive skin. It has a pleasant olive oil scent and I have never gotten a rancid smell from it. The natural preservatives keep it nice. I have re-ordered over and over. Good product

Love this All Natural, Made in America, Refreshing Mint Lip Balm!
Flavor Name: Fresh Mint, Size: 1 count (Pack of 5)
This is my fourth order of Mint Tallow Honey Lip Balm from Terra Lotus. My entire family of 6 (including 2 picky teens) loves this lip balm and reaches for it over the popular yellow brand of lip balm we still have laying around (even though I don't buy it anymore). I love that Terra Lotus is an American company and their grassfed tallow and honey products are Made In America. I also love that I can pronounce every one of their ingredients, each of which could be edible. Please continue making this lip balm forever...especially in Mint!

Works For Me!
Flavor Name: Unscented, Size: 1 count (Pack of 5)
Bought these approx 2 weeks ago. We cook with tallow which is why I bought it. It stays on my lips much longer than the chap stuff and don’t have to reapply every 20 min. Don’t know if there is a solution to dry lips so I’ll stick with the tallow. I have Sjogrens which causes itchy dry patches. I did buy the tallow soap and that feels great after a shower. I’m now looking at the face/skin cream. (Gotta do what you gotta do!)
