Fun artsy extras!
And the best lollipop ever!
Sign up for our subscription service to make sure you don't miss a great box, or try out one of our previous boxes in our SHOP!
Your freight is shipped around the 24th of each month, after all the cool stuff we've curated for that month has had time to arrive and we've packed the boxes!
Open your box and make landfall in another world! Don't forget to tag us on Instagram and Twitter! @landfallfreight
It's an ingenious idea for reading enthusiasts/story lovers and especially for female readers. Can't wait to discover more graphic novels comics! P.S.- the cute other little gifts are perfect
A lot of nerdy boxes I found included fandoms that I'm not interested in., so it was nice finding a nerdy box of things I knew I'd love...
My first @landfallfreight arrived this week and I have to tell you guys I am impressed.
Don't miss this month's freight- fresh female reads and artsy goodies!
(Need to know more? Keep scrolling down for FAQs!)
Landfall Freight ships once per month, usually around the 28th. Sometimes we ship a little earlier, sometimes a little later if we're waiting for a really great comic to be released! You can always cancel your subscription before the 1st day of the next month- just sign into your account to make changes.
Shipping to the U.S. is $7.99usd. Shipping to Canada is $10.99usd unless you live in Vancouver, where we offer $5usd drop-off (contact us for the coupon code). Yes we ship to most countries! However shipping 2-3 pounds of books overseas is not inexpensive- it costs $35.00 usd. This buys you a tracking number and a 2 week delivery time. However please note that we cannot control each country's customs process and customs processing has been known to cause delays- thank you for your understanding.
Each month we select a feature graphic novel that sets the theme for the extra goodies. You may also get single issue comics, zines, or another graphic novel! We try to mix it up, and you can expect indie comics, small press as well as some of the most anticipated titles from publishers such as Image Comics and Boom! Studios. We love to help you explore the comic arts world so we include a wide range of genres from magical girls to memoirs. We only include titles with female leads and we support female creators whenever we can; many of our boxes feature 100% female created content, though we aren't exclusive.

Analysis with Altitude: News from the Colorado Health Institute
Analysis with Altitude / Jeff Bontrager
From Our CEO
2.13.2013 | by: Michele Lueck
Honoring CHI Analyst Jeff Bontrager
Our very own Jeff Bontrager was nominated this week for the Denver Business Journal's 2013 "40 Under 40," the best and brightest of our young thinkers and leaders.
Yesterday, the CHI team hovered around the paper to see Jeff's name in print. Needless to say, we are so very proud.
Jeff has been at CHI for nearly eight years. He is known as a "rock star" data analyst around our offices, in Colorado and beyond the state's boundaries. When I traveled with him to Academy Health's National Health Services Research conference last year, other researchers would stop to ask me if I knew where Jeff was. He has a national network that admires his work as much as we do.
Why is Jeff such an outstanding contributor to our health policy dialogue? Much of the answer to that question has to do with his underlying motivation. Jeff works to serve his fellow Coloradoans, and his own personal mission of service is in evidence in all of his work. From his contributions to safety net providers to leading discussions and providing "lessons learned" on Medicaid's Accountable Care Collaborative, his work is infused by a true sense, a true commitment, of doing right by others. This commitment is palpable – day in and day out.
So, a very big Colorado Health Institute hip-hip-hooray to Jeff. His nomination is well deserved. And regardless of next week's announced winners, he is "First Under 40" in our book.

Are you bored with your neutral, winter makeup? Tired of dark, smokey eyes? Then Make Up Forever has something new that will bring some colour into your makeup looks!
Make Up Forever's Technicolor Palette($50 CAN) was inspired by the 1930s cinematic transition from black-and-white motion picture to colour movies, and it will sure give your boring winter makeup some much needed pops of colour!
The Make Up Forever Technicolor Palette isn't huge, it's about 5 inches long. Cute and petite, but sure packs some colour!
Included are 8 eyeshadows and 2 makeup brushes.
The shades in the Make Up Forever Technicolor palette are #04 (matte black), Jaune (yellow), #91 (apple green), #72 (matte bright turquoise), #116 (lilac), #00 (matte white), #17 (matte brown), and #126 shimmery peachy beige). The only shadow that's not part of the permanent collection is Jaune, the bright yellow.
You also get two little detailing brushes, a flat brush 10P and a tapered bush 16P. I really like these little brushes! They are cute, but actually work!
Swatchy time!
|MUFE #72, #91, Jaune, #04
The turquoise and the green stained my arm! Yikes! Promising, right?
|#126, #17, #00, #116
Swatching these shadows was a little disappointing to tell you the truth. As you can see they are a little chalky and dry, not the usual MUFE high pigment quality of the singles. It took a couple of swipes to get them to show up this well on my arm.
A palette with such bright colours can be intimidating I know! But fear not for Makeup Forever is there to help you out. On the back of the package are instructions to create two unique colorful eyes:
So, for the first test I decided to try out these two suggested looks:
I applied the shadows as directed over top the MUFE eye primer, which I love and reviewed here.
I have good and bad news about the Make Up Forever Technicolor palette. First, the bad news:
The shadows were a little hard to work with. Some shades worked better than others like the bright turquoise, but others like Jaune took a bit of packing on to get the colour to show up. The lilac was horrible to work with. As you can see it hardly showed up in that first look. They were also a little hard to blend.
Now for the good news!
So, I decided to test them differently. I took it all off and this time I used my NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk which is a creamy white as a base. What a difference it made!
Using the white creamy base really helped to bring out the vibrancy in these shades. I had no problem in getting these colours to show up this time and no trouble blending them out either. The lilac on my eye has a crease, but that's my own fault for applying too much white on that eye and not blending it enough before putting shadow over top of it. Ooops! But still, the eyeshadows lasted 8 hours before they started to fade which is pretty decent for matte eyeshadows.
The Make Up Forever Technicolor Palette isn't without its faults, but it IS possible to get it to work and get some really bright, fun and colourful looks with it. You just gotta use the right base to start off your look and then have some fun with colour!
You can find the Make Up Forever Technicolor Palette at Sephora.
Disclamer: I was sent this product to review by PR/Company. Love it or leave it, but my review and opinions are my own thoughts and words, thank you very much

R.I.P. Robert Persig
Robert Persig, 88. Author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, one of my favorite books.
"Zen" is the account of a 1968 motorcycle trip that Pirsig, his 11-year-old son Chris and two friends made from Minneapolis through the West. A fifth traveler was sensed but unseen: Phaedrus, Pirsig's alter ego, brilliant, uncompromising and obsessed with the search for truth. Like the real-life Pirsig, the ghost-like Phaedrus had an IQ of 170, entered a university at 15 and, as a young man, was committed to mental hospitals where he underwent electroconvulsive therapy.
"He was dead," Pirsig's narrator writes in "Zen." "Destroyed by order of the court, enforced by the transmission of high-voltage alternating current through the lobes of his brain."
On the trip, though, the "dead" Phaedrus was all too active, a real but intangible force vying for the soul of the emotionally unstable Chris. Chris is spared in the novel, but Pirsig's actual son Chris struggled with drug addiction and, at 22, was stabbed to death during a 1979 mugging in San Francisco. It was at a bus stop near the Zen Buddhism center where he lived.
While the book has a more or less happy ending, "Zen" is filled with unanswered and, perhaps, unanswerable questions. Pirsig, who weathered schizophrenia but was devastated by its treatment, doubts everything: reality, sanity — and himself.
"What I am," he writes, "is a heretic who's recanted and thereby in everyone's eyes saved his soul. Everyone's eyes but one, who knows deep down inside that all he has saved is his skin."

Heckuva job there, Johnny
Via Huffington Post. If only you hadn't shut down the experienced group within your agency that dealt with these people:
John Kelly, the man in charge of protecting the nation's homeland security, admitted Sunday that he has absolutely no idea how to prevent homegrown terrorist attacks.
"There are so many aspects to this terrorist thing," Kelly, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
"Obviously, you got the homegrown terrorists. I don't know how to stop that. I don't know how to detect that. You got other terrorist threats that come across the border."
Kelly's admission to CBS host John Dickerson was surprising, in part because of its candor. For all of President Donald Trump's focus on the border and banning people from Muslim-majority countries from the United States, the administration apparently doesn't know how to deal with what Kelly said are the most common types of attacks.
Give us the wall, or your healthcare gets it
Via Raw Story. Dear God, Mulvaney is a shameless prick:
After years of Republican obstructionism under Democratic President Barack Obama, Trump Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said on Sunday that it was the Democrats who are guilty of "stunning" obstructionism because they will not negotiate on a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
During an interview one Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace noted that the President Donald Trump had offered Democrats a deal: If you fund the border wall, payments to Obamacare will not be cut.
"You are holding hostage health insurance for millions of lower-income Americans," Wallace pointed out.
"Actually, what I would say is they're holding hostage national security," Mulvaney replied. "Again, something they supported in the recent past when President Obama was in the Senate."
Don't people get tired of this?
Being lied to about these disasters? I realize the people who live there are dependent on the fishing industry, but Gulf seafood is most likely unsafe to eat:
Scientists have already reported finding what they called a 1,235-square-mile "bathtub ring" of oil on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico left over from the huge 2010 BP oil spill.
Now it appears this ring is part of a washroom set: A different team of scientists has found that up 10 million gallons of oil have created what can be called only a "bath mat" beneath the sediment of the gulf's floor.
First the ring. David Valentine and colleagues from the University of California at Santa Barbara wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in October that about 10 million gallons of the spilled oil settled on the gulf's floor. Its size: about the size of the state of Rhode Island.
But what about the rest? As much as 200 million gallons of oil were spilled after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, owned by BP and Anadarko Petroleum Corp., exploded off the coast of New Orleans, killing 11 workers on the rig, injuring 17 more, and allowing oil to gush into the gulf for nearly three months.
All that oil has been hard to find. But a team of scientists led by Jeff Chanton found between 6 million and 10 million gallons buried in the sediment at the bottom of the gulf about 60 miles southeast of the Mississippi Delta. Chanton is a professor of oceanography at Florida State University.
Chuck Todd: It's becoming hard to ignore Trump's conflict of interests anymore

Gas at $1.50 per gallon?
By swhitehorn on
Vehicle2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
ReviewThere is a learning curve on how to drive a hybrid and Ford gives you several coaching tools to help you maximize your mpg.
There are a few things you can do up front.
One is to make sure there is 35 lbs of pressure in each tire (check tire pressure when tires are cold or haven't be driven on in 8 hrs or more.)
Wax your car, slow down and ease on the accelerator and brakes.
Use the cruise control in the eco mode whenever possible.
Remember, by driving conservatively you also create less wear and tear on your vehicle and for the most part drive safer.
As compared to my 08 Accord EXL V6 the combined epa increases from 22 to 47 mpg, hence the $1.50 per gallon of gas.
Best FeaturesLove all the padded surfaces near the driver. The exterior design is a huge improvement over the old Fusion. All windows are a one touch operation, both up and down with the rear windows rolling all the way down, extremely rare in this class and price range. By installing the battery in the trunk, jump starts are actually much easier and the battery life is increased because there is no engine heat to affect it. Good idea, Ford. The ride/handling compromise is the best in class, outstanding because we are talking a hybrid here.
Worst FeaturesFord has actually improved on Toyota's Hybrid concept by engineering an electric water pump, power steering, fuel pump, and ac compressor. As a result, the Atkinson cycle gas engine is not affected by these components. The body style, ride/handling compromise, and overall engineering is superior to all other hybrids, regardless of price, in my opinion.

Last year I started a tradition of 'Wednesdays Unplugged'. Here is what I said on January 4, 2007...
Time seems to be such a rare commodity in today's hectic world. We're so technologically connected we tend to be on call 24/7, but our personal connections seem to suffer...as does our time to nurture ourselves and just 'be'.
My response for 2007 is 'Wednesdays Unplugged'...a day when I am unplugged from my computer, my cell phone, my appointments (my assistant is capably in charge for the day!) and simply 'Take Time'...time during the day for me and time in the evening for our children and their families to gather with us around our table to connect and share a meal during the middle of a busy work week.
Yesterday was my first 'Wednesday Unplugged'. It was interesting how strong the urge was to go down to my computer as I always do first thing in the morning. As the day went on, it became ever more apparent how great a gift these days will be...and how much it will challenge me to be truly 'unplugged' for the day. It made me think that this is what was meant by the admonition to 'remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy', counseling us on how important it is to take a day of rest from whatever our normal daily pursuits may be to refresh and nurture our souls.
Years ago my mother gave me a little hand-typed note which I still have on my bulletin board right next to my desk...I've copied it below. This is how I plan to focus my 'Wednesdays Unplugged'...never mind if it spills over to the rest of the week!
Take time to think - it is the source of power
Take time to read - it is the foundation of wisdom
Take time to play - it is the secret of staying young
Take time to be quiet - it is the moment to seek God
Take time to be aware - it is the opportunity to help others
Take time to love and be loved - it is God's greatest gift
Take time to laugh - it is the music of the soul
Take time to be friendly - it is the road to happiness
Take time to dream - it is what the future is made of
Take time to pray - it is the greatest power on earth
Little did I know when I started this tradition what an impact it would have on our lives. Now, nearly a year and a half later, Wednesday is a highlight of the week not only for me but for our whole family. It's a night when nobody but me has to worry about 'what's for dinner' but they know they'll get a good home-cooked meal...it's a time when I can enjoy cooking, which I don't usually have time to do...it's a time to just relax and connect.
This is Wednesday, so I'm not really here...thanks to the magic of technology I'm really listening to jazz and cooking a great meal.
From now on I'll be sharing bits of the magic of 'Wednesdays Unplugged' along with a recipe and quote each week. Until next week...

Sherman Hemsley Was A Gay! Deal With It!
Nobody sputtered more comically than Sherman Hemsley, the enjoyably oafish and scheming George Jefferson from the classic sitcom The Jeffersons.
I was sad to hear that he died last week.
I was also horrified to hear him referred to over and over as "a lifelong bachelor."

This summer, do not have to strain your body with another fake diet that promises amazing results.
The secret of weight loss is to take fewer calories than you spend, and this is very easy in the summer, when loaded, our heavy dishes seem more and more unbearable. The best food choices for this season are light and cool.
Fruits and vegetables era beyond their calorie is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. Leave oranges and apples for their time, and enjoy blueberries, cantaloupe, tomatoes, cucumbers and any other nutritious vegetable that grows in the summer garden. Even better, a diet with lots of fruits and vegetables does not require such intensive control of the size of our portions.
These are the options of dietitians, to eat healthily (dietary) this summer.
cold soups
A cold soup with plenty of vegetables is the best way to start a meal. It has been shown that a low-calorie soup fills us, so we eat less when it's time for the main course.
And who does not loves eating a slice of watermelon? Since watermelon is composed mostly of water, it is a wonderful – and no thickening – how to satisfy our thirst and to eat something sweet.
Vegetables on the grill
Step One: Bake peppers, zucchini, carrots and eggplants. Leave in the fridge, and you can use them in a pile dishes such as salads, risotto or pasta.
A salad can be a full meal, without the need for time and recipes. Simply well wash your vegetables, cut them as you like, combine them with what you like tasty – without fear of their combination with fruit – and a light vinaigrette dressing, and complete your meal with a slice of wholemeal bread. Alternatively, a salad with bulgur wheat (tabbouleh) will fill you with nutrients without causing your bloating. A good idea to give extra flavor to the salad without the need for dressing, is to take into herbs. And if your salad contain meat or fish, remember that is accompanying your vegetables.
Drinks low (or zero) calories
Delicious milkshake, tea and soft drinks, all made even more enjoyable in the heat of summer, but it is very easy to fill us with unnecessary calories. A soda with a little lemon squeezed through will cool our noon. If you can find sparkling water with flavor, combine it with a little white wine, and you get a delicious and light evening drink.
Desserts with fruits
Our need for something sweet is able to spoil our diet, unless you prefer natural desserts that will satisfy us, without empty and unnecessary calories. For example:
- Wonderful sundaes and banana ice cream 0%
- Grilled pineapple with pecans
- Frozen blueberries or grapes.

Meth Lab and Other Clandestine Drug Lab Cleanup Services
When an illegal meth lab is discovered by law enforcement officials, the bulk of lab-related materials, including chemicals and containers, are usually removed. However, small amounts of contaminants can be left behind on floors, walls, counters, carpets, furniture, sinks, drains and ventilation systems. Meth lab contaminants pose health threats to persons exposed to them. Companies specializing in environmental cleanup are called in to aid in the removal of these contaminants.
Every pound of meth produced generates five or more pounds of hazardous waste. Much of this waste is dumped down drains and toilets or on the ground, creating many additional contaminated sites. Such dumping has created septic tanks full of dangerous waste and chemically-contaminated drain fields, soils and surface waters.
Between 2004 and 2012, the DEA reports nearly 120,000 incidents across the United States including labs, "dumpsites" or "chemical and glassware" seizures.

SWS conducts final clearance testing to ensure cleanup activities were conducted properly.
SWS routinely conducts meth lab clean up and illegal drug lab decontamination, meth lab assessment, and meth lab testing in compliance with state regulations and clandestine drug lab cleanup guidelines. We use advanced technologies and maintain strict protocol in meth lab remediation and biohazard cleanup. We have a proven track record in conducting meth lab cleaning in the most professional, highest quality, and discreet manner. We are industry leaders in getting it done correctly the first time.
Our meth lab cleanup crews are highly specialized and trained certified professionals who must meet several criteria for the state in which the meth lab cleaning is being conducted. We are fully insured and meet all the requirements; We have an 29 CFR 1910.120 (OSHA) otherwise known as HAZWOPER (40 hour) for site personnel; We are a licensed hazardous waste transporter; And we have regulated HM126 F training to allow signature for manifest documents on the customer's behalf - DOT regulation.
Whether you're a public or private entity, contact us today with questions or concerns regarding meth lab clean up or biohazard waste removal needs.
Methamphetamine, also known as "ice", "speed" or "crank," is a potent central nervous system stimulant. The drug is illegally produced in makeshift labs commonly referred to as "meth labs." All of the processes that produce methamphetamine use a variety of chemicals including explosives, solvents, metals, salts, and corrosives.
During the drug manufacturing process additional compounds and by-products are produced. Exposure to these chemicals can have various health effects on producers and others that are unintentionally exposed. Typically, after a lab is discovered by law enforcement officials, the bulk of lab-related materials including chemicals and containers are removed. Exposure to even small amounts of some of these chemicals can pose serious health risks.
When it comes to meth labs, residual meth and associated hazardous waste are released during the manufacturing process. Airborne contaminants are absorbed into rugs, furniture, drapes, walls and other absorbing surfaces. Airborne contaminants also enter and contaminate the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
Spills are common and affect floors, walls, appliances, and other surfaces. Hazardous waste is frequently dumped into sinks, toilets, and bathtub contaminating the waste water system.
Large amounts of methamphetamine are also released into the air and deposited on most items and on horizontal and vertical surfaces throughout the building. "Cooking" can release as much as 5,500 micrograms of methamphetamine per cubic meter into the air, and deposit as much as 16,000 micrograms per 100 square centimeters onto surfaces. Concentrations of iodine gas (a common byproduct of methamphetamine production) of less than one part per million can cause severe respiratory distress.
Law enforcement and health agencies have found that levels of iodine, phosphine, and hydrochloric acid are likely to exceed current occupational standards during a "cook" using the red phosphorous method. Hydrochloric acid levels are especially high during the final "acidification stage," often exceeding the NIOSH "Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health" (IDLH) level.

There was a sense of what might have been in the north London air at Highbury last night. The 1-0 defeat of Tottenham was the Gunners' seventh win in nine unbeaten matches - championship form in most seasons.
There was a sense of what might have been in the north London air at Highbury last night. The 1-0 defeat of Tottenham was the Gunners' seventh win in nine unbeaten matches - championship form in most seasons.
Pre-Roman Abramovich Arsène Wenger would be contemplating his third Double in eight seasons. Instead, Arsenal are playing only for pride, and the low-grade consolation prize of the extra week's holiday which second place, and automatic entry in the Champions League, secures.
As Manchester United's current form underlines, when you have spent a decade chasing titles this is not much of an incentive.
A north London derby is, however, always worth raising a gallop for and Arsenal, as at Stamford Bridge last week, were determined to demonstrate their continuing quality. That they could, also, a year to the day since they won the championship with a draw at White Hart Lane, delay Chelsea's coronation was an added bonus.
In doing so they emphasised that, while this season will be remembered as a lost opportunity, the future carries promise, even when Chelsea's roubles are factored into the unequal equation.
This was evident inside the opening minute as the ball was moved swiftly between Philippe Senderos, Kolo Touré, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie to release Jose Antonio Reyes. The Spaniard went round Paul Robinson, but hit the side netting. The average age of that quintet: 20 years.
It was Fabregas who set up the [opening] goal, showing bravery as well as vision as he drifted past two tackles and accepted the bite of a third as he waited for the right moment to send Reyes through the defensive cover.
Reyes, having struggled to settle in England, may not be here next season but the others should be around for years. Touré has come through a difficult period in terms of his form, which in the long term will benefit him.
As one magnificently timed tackle on Freddie Kanouté illustrated, Senderos is developing so quickly Sol Campbell has been allowed the luxury of a slow rehabilitation. The maturity of Fabregas defies belief. Van Persie looks to be learning the right lessons from his foolish loss of control at Southampton.
With Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires returned to form, Thierry Henry still peerless and Campbell awaiting a recall there is a solid platform to graft on to this potential. And in the wings wait another clutch of young bloods including Gael Clichy, Arturo Lupoli and Mathieu Flamini.
There is also the prospect of greater financial muscle. As the sight of crans on the western skyline reminded us before the light went, Ashburton Grove is on the way and with it increased revenue streams. They may be small change to Abramovich but Wenger has proved in the past he can work to a budget, finding raw diamonds he can polish.
Last night's demonstration of the brilliance of youth was timely for the day had begun unpromisingly for Arsenal with the Evening Standard front page trumpeting "Arsenal star in punch-up"."Star" proved to be something of an exaggeration as Quincy Owusu-Abeyie is a reserve with only a handful of first team outings behind him.
Those few appearances have, though, been so explosive it is clear the young Dutchman has the talent to become a star. He also, however, has a enough of a temperament problem for Ajax to release him. There was thus concern at Arsenal when he was reportedly arrested after being involved in a brawl following the PFA Player of the Year dinner.
The spectre of the failure to discipline Jermaine Pennant looms large at Highbury but Van Persie's growing maturity offers hope that Owusu-Abeyie will also have his energies channelled in the right direction.
He has much to gain for Arsenal, on the evidence of this spring, will be challenging Chelsea for a while yet.
This season may have eluded their grasp but the 11-10 odds being offered by some bookmakers on Chelsea winning next year's title were looking decidedly ungenerous last night.Reuse content

Tunnicliffe will talk to the president of the French Federation, Jean- Paul Ferre, about whether they would be able to host games in the World Cup, the draw for which has yet to be re-arranged following the abandonment of the World Nines in Johannesburg next month.
The League would also like to repeat the Treize Tournoi, in which British clubs from outside Super League competed with the French at the end of last season. "As our closest rugby league neighbours, we want to involve them in the process of developing the game in the northern hemisphere," said Tunnicliffe.
The game in France is in bullish mood, with the pressure group, XIII Actif, succeeding in having a government inquiry set up into the confiscation of the game's funds by the Vichy regime during the War.
The scrapping of the Nines in South Africa has led to suggestions a nine- a-side tournament between club sides should be held before the start of the season, in aid of the family of Roy Powell, the Great Britain forward who died at the age of 33 at Christmas.
The proposal, sent by a reader to Open Rugby magazine, is that Yorkshire clubs, four of which Powell played for during his career, should compete, with all the proceeds going to his widow and two young children.
The first event at Sydney's Olympic Stadium - involving four teams from Australia's National Rugby League competition - has been brought forward to 6 March.Reuse content

UT, Austin, and High Tech Toxics
The dark side of economic development
By Theresa Case
December 1990; pages 4-5, 13; Volume 2, No 3
When Austin successfully brought two high tech "plums" to town, the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Center (MCC) and Sematech, the media declared Austin a "megatrend" city. The Economist declared that "Austin Discards its Dungarees," while the The New York Times headlined: "Is Austin the Next Silicon Valley?" Indeed, the state of Texas, the city of Austin, and the University of Texas have spent a considerable amount of energy and taxpayers' money attempting to transform Austin into a center for high technology and manufacturing.
Sematech and MCC, both consortia of high-tech companies pooling their research, provide critical momentum for this effort. Austin and the state of Texas promised at least $56.3 million in public funds to Sematech. About $12.3 million of this amount came from the University of Texas, which purchased the old Data General site for the consortium and charges Sematech $1 per year rent. UT also pitched in more than $34 million to the effort to lure MCC to Austin. MCC pays UT $1 per year in rent for its $14 million site at the Balcones Research Center. More recently, the City of Austin enticed Applied Materials, a high tech company based in Santa Clara, California, with $7.8 million in incentives. The incentive package includes a waiver of all building and development fees and a seven year 80 percent tax abatement on property improvement.
Politicians, university administrators and the legislature justify these expenditures by citing benefits of job creation, diversification of the economy, the production of industry-trained graduate students, and enhanced prestige as a center of knowledge and excellence. However, missing from this discussion is any concern for the consequences of the "clean industry" on Austin's environment. To answer this concern, we should examine the history of high tech's birthplace, Silicon Valley in California, and the environmental impact of the high tech firms already located in Austin.
A History Lesson: High-tech toxics in Silicon Valley
Santa Clara Valley was once an agricultural paradise called Valley of the Heart's Delight that has been transformed over the last twenty-five years into the center of computer design and manufacturing with the highest density of electronic manufacturing firms in the country. For most of its history, the electronics industry enjoyed a "clean" reputation - its smokestack-free facilities resembled modern college libraries. Inside, white-clad workers assembled parts in a "sterile" environment. But in 1981, the discovery of contamination sites at the facilities of both IBM and Fairchild Semiconductor put the lie the industry's "clean" image.
At the Fairchild site, 58,000 gallons of solvents leaked from an underground fiberglass storage tank, contaminating an aquifer that supplied drinking water to thousands of people. A subsequent study determined that the birth-defect rate in the area was three times the national average. Since then, more than 100 other toxic chemical spills have further polluted the Valley's environment.
The high-tech industry depends on semiconductor devices. Semiconductors are integrated circuits based on materials that only partially conduct electricity. Silicon that's "doped" with other metals is the basic building block for the semiconductor industry. The process of turning silicon into integrated circuits requires the use of various chemicals, most of them toxic, including solvents, acids, bases, metal solutions, and toxic dopant gases. Printed circuit board manufacture and disk drive manufacture and assembly also use toxic chemicals, particularly ozone-depleting CFCs. Many of these toxic materials can affect an exposed person's reproductive abilities, while many others are carcinogenic or acutely toxic.
|Environmental Destination: Source: 1989 reports that companies file with the EPA under the national community right-to-know law. The source for 1988 total toxic releases is a report by the Citizens Fund, Poisons in Our Neighborhoods: Toxic Pollution in Texas. TR - toxic releases; offsite - toxics transferred to off site locations; sewage - toxics emitted into the public sewage system; air - toxics emitted into the air.
The growth of the high-tech industry and the use of toxic chemicals severely damaged the environment in the Santa Clara Valley. It has, for example, resulted in extensive groundwater pollution: over 150 underground chemical leaks containing over one hundred chemicals have contaminated over two hundred public and private drinking water wells. Silicon Valley has 29 Superfund sites, the highest concentration in the country, 23 of these are related to high-tech industry. Superfund sites are sites so polluted that the federal government must coordinate cleanup. In fact, Stanford's high tech industrial park, which played a critical role in the early growth of the industry, has been named a Superfund site because of leaks from an underground storage tank.
Applied Materials, the company which Austin recently lured to town with a multi-million dollar incentive package, also has a Superfund site in Santa Clara caused by storage tanks leaking carcinogenic toxics into groundwater. In 1988, a three year study conducted by the Department of Health Services in California found that pregnant women who drank tap water in the Silicon Valley area had twice as many miscarriages and four times as many birth defects in their offspring than did expectant mothers who drank filtered or no tap water during pregnancy.
The hazards of toxic gas storage and the emission levels of toxic gases into the air pose serious health risks to the community and environment. Companies near San Francisco emit almost nine tons of smog-forming gases daily. In addition, the discharge of ozone-destroying CFCs in Silicon Valley is higher than anywhere else in the country.
The purpose of the "clean room," where microchips are made, is to keep the area "clean" for products, not for workers or for the surrounding community. The air inside the "clean room" has been filtered of most particulates to protect the microelectronic components, but it can be contaminated by toxic vapors used as solvents. High-tech workers come into contact with toxic substances that damage the invisible world of chromosomes and body tissues and which can negatively affect their lungs, livers, kidneys, central nervous systems, and reproductive capacities.
Manufacturing chip components involves the use of many highly toxic materials: workers face the danger of spills, accidents, and chronic exposure. The reproductive hazards of the industry were documented by a 1986 University of Massachusetts study of employees at the Digital Equipment Corporation facility in Hudson, Massachusetts. The study found that certain women employees suffered twice the normal rate of miscarriage, and all production workers experienced headaches, nausea, and skin rashes. The rate of occupational illness among workers in the electronics industry is three times that of other industries.
|Toxicity: Since some chemicals fall into more than one category of toxicity, the categories shown on the chart are not cumulative. at - acute toxicity (short term exposure by inhalation, oral, or dermal route can cause death); ct - chronic toxicity; e - environmental toxicity; bd - developmental toxicity (birth defects); r - reproductive toxicity; c - carcinogenicity; n - neurotoxicity; p - persistence in the environment; h - heritable and genetic and chromosomal mutations
Three-quarters of production workers in the electronics industry in Silicon Valley are women, and 35 to 45 percent are people of color. A report by the state of California's Employment Development Department on the 1985 slump in the semiconductor market found that assembly and production workers were disproportionately effected by layoffs and job loss. Younger and older workers, those with low seniority, and African-American workers were more likely to be laid off. Blacks in particular were almost twice as likely to be displaced as to be reemployed. The report found that when the industry sales recovered, 13 percent of semiconductor jobs did not return.
All major firms used three strategies to restructure the Valley's workforce; Some work was transferred to new and less costly locations in the United States, some work was relocated overseas, and work also became more automated. Indeed, research in California has shown that the average life expectancy of a high tech facility is six years compared to thirteen for all other manufacturing in the state.
High tech in Austin: The chip and the damage done
The case of Silicon Valley has clear implications for communities such as Austin that look to high tech as a cornucopia of jobs and economic beneficence. In California, which Austin boosters hold up as a model, high tech has adversely affected workers' health and it has disproportionately hurt marginalized populations during periods of economic contraction, calling into question the rhetoric surrounding high tech as a solution for economically disadvantaged Austinites.
Unfortunately, the news about high tech's environmental and safety record in Silicon Valley has not reached Austin. After successfully luring MCC to Texas, then-Governor Mark White told reporters: "I don't think you'll find that there will be any pollution [from the electronics industry] unless the Japanese cars they drive to and from work do it." However, one doesn't have to look to Silicon Valley to get some picture of the environmental effects of high tech. High tech, although on a much smaller scale, is already here, and it's already polluting Austin's environment.
According to EPA's Toxic Release Inventory, last year Austin's high tech industry legally emitted over 365 tons of toxics into the environment, more than a ton of toxics per day. High-tech firms emitted 287 tons of toxic gas into Austin's air, nearly half a million pounds of this were ozone-depleting chemicals. Almost 216,000 pounds of waste were disposed of by underground injection, a process that pumps hazardous waste deep into the ground and which can result in extensive and unexpected contamination of groundwater. Nearly 900,000 pounds of waste were disposed of by incineration, a system that produces both air emissions and a toxic ash that must be buried.
While these figures are dwarfed by the figures of emissions by the petrochemical industry in the Houston area and along the Texas coastline (Beaumont, Port Lavaca), they represent a destructive impact upon Austin's environment and contribute to already high toxic pollution levels in Texas. In 1988, Texas manufacturers released a total of 724.5 million pounds of toxics into the state's environment, ranking Texas second in the country in toxic releases. That same year, Texas ranked first in the country in the release of toxic chemicals into the air: 169.9 million pounds. Significantly, most of these releases were legal and permitted by the government.
The large amount of toxic chemicals that are used during everyday production and the thousands of pounds of hazardous materials that are routinely trucked along the highways translates into a clear potential for accidents and spills. Austin's high-tech industry uses in largest quantities these chemicals: sulfuric acid, 111-trichloroethane, freon-113, methyl ethyl ketone, ammonia, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid. Some of the dangers for some of the chemicals include:
111-trichloroethane - Chronic exposure can cause mutations and damage the liver, kidneys, and skin. Acute exposure can irritate the eyes and skin, cause dizziness, unconsciousness, and death.
Ammonia - Chronic exposure damages the lungs and acute exposure irritates the skin and eyes, possibly causing permanent or temporary blindness. This is a corrosive chemical which can cause deep burns.
Hydrochloric acid - Breathing the vapor can irritate the lungs and higher exposure can cause buildup of fluid in the lungs, which can cause death.
Hydrogen flouride - A severe respiratory irritant, exposure can cause deep burns of the skin or eyes. Chronic exposure can cause weakening of the bones.
Nitric acid - This can cause lung irritation and pulminary edema, which can be fatal. Acute exposure can irritate the lung nose, throat, and skin.
Xylene (mixed isomers) - Xylenes can affect you when breathed in and by passing through your skin. Xylenes may damage the developing fetus and cause problems with memory and concentration. Repeated exposure may damage bone marrow causing low blood cell count.
Two extremely dangerous gases in use by the high tech industry in Silicon Valley are arsine gas and phosphine. Exposure to even minute amounts of arsine gas causes rapid death. It is toxic to every organ studied. Arsine gas destroys red blood cells when inhaled, so that the only lifesaving procedure is a complete blood transfusion. There is no life saving treatment for acute exposure to phosphine gas, only supportive measures. Phosphine is often transported and used in 100 percent concentrations. Although Austin's high tech firms do not use these gases (at least according to EPA's limited reporting requirements), these gases might be used here if the industry grows as much as high-tech boosters propose.
Developer John Watson, who helped spearhead the effort to bring MCC to Austin, foresees a "Texas Triangle" where "different areas of the triangle will serve different needs - Austin with basic research, Dallas perhaps with applied research, San Antonio and Houston with assembly." However, Texas is already the home of 29 federal Superfund sites and an additional 29 sites are on the state registry of sites that warrant supervision and clean-up. The Houston area of Harris County alone hosts 11 of those Superfund sites.
Most groundwater contamination sites have been caused by leaking underground storage tanks. A new "model ordinance" in the Valley provides an incredibly simple approach to this problem by requiring that storage tanks be "double-walled" so that leaks are stopped by a second wall from polluting sensitive groundwater. One has to ask why multiple leaks had to occur before the industry implemented this obvious precaution. The answer is that the highly competitive nature of semiconductor manufacturing drives companies to maximize production at the cost of worker and environmental safety. The priority of the industry is to make everything faster, smaller and cheaper than domestic and international competition. The resistance to long term investment in toxics reduction stems from the fear that a competitor will get the edge in developing a faster, smaller product.
Recently, activists have focused on Sematech, a non-profit consortium of semiconductor manufacturing firms here in Austin. Sematech's primary goal is to challenge the growing success of Japanese-owned competitors by developing ways to squeeze more and more circuit elements onto each flake of silicon. Such advancement, however, could make the industry even more reliant upon toxic chemicals since more solvents are needed to wash away ever smaller particles that could damage a circuit. Representatives from environmental organizations, labor officials, and other concerned citizens from across the U.S. formed a group called Campaign for Responsible Technology (CRT). CRT believes that Sematech, as a federally funded research project with significant influence in the semiconductor industry, is in a unique position to develop chip-making techniques that use less toxic materials.
By bringing producers together under one roof, Sematech could allow companies to share the risk of developing ways to reduce toxics use by the industry. Further, because Sematech receives half of its budget from the federal government, CRT activists argue that a good part of its resources should be directed toward serving the "broader interests of the American people," rather than focusing on the industry's efforts to "beat the Japanese." CRT also sees the opportunity for coordinating information and the training of employees in toxic use reduction. But CRT needs our help locally in pressuring Sematech to commit to toxics reduction.
The high tech industry has attempted to clean up its image and under public pressure, to reduce its use of some toxics. In 1987, the Semiconductor Industry Association began funding a $3.5 million study of the hazards of the semiconductor industry on its workers, although no representation of workers exists on the oversight committee. IBM and other large high tech companies have pledged to reduce their emissions in the next few years, particularly the use of ozone depleting chemicals. In Silicon Valley, public outrage has produced two strong laws on storage of toxic materials and gases. Yet, zero toxic emissions, the ultimate goal by which all progress should be measured, has not been addressed.
High tech has a history of being a toxic polluter and a hazardous neighbor. If the future of Austin lies with high technology, citizens of Austin and their elected officials must ensure that the history of Silicon Valley does not repeat itself here. Austin's environmentally-conscience reputation might lead us to have faith that our elected officials will uphold that reputation. But high tech is already polluting Austin. And as we have learned from the struggle against the Barton Creek PUD, for example, Austin's environmental future is only as good as the courage and scrutiny of its citizens.
