"Challenging the Chip is essential reading for anyone who owns a cell phone or computer. As its vividly written chapters reveal, our digital possessions connect us not only to global information but also to global contamination and injustice. Happily, this book shows us that we can have technology and clean water, too: Electronics sustainability is organic agriculture for iPods."

Globalization at the Crossroads Report EHC's Globalization at the Crossroads documents the impacts of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in the San Diego/Tijuana border region. A case study of the TV manufacturing industry illustrates how corporate globalization represents economic instability, poverty, worker injustice and environmental injustice for workers and families. EHC calls for NAFTA-style trade agreements to be rejected in favor of fair trade agreements that protect labor rights and the environment, defend democracy and build equality.
