New website focussing on the implications of nanotechnology for society and environment.


Nanotechnology is being heralded as the basis of the next industrial revolution, yet, amidst the hype there are serious questions about the health, environmental and social impacts of this powerful new technology. Friends of the Earth Australia's nano project aims to catalyse debate on what is set to be one of the defining issues of our time.

The FoE nanotechnology project website can be found at  http://nano.foe.org.au

Nanotech is already making promises about what it will deliver. And its already in movies, in order to accustom us and indoctrinate us in its 'benefits'.

Beware, Plastics, nuke technology, GM, pesicides etc ...all these whizz bang developments have created disasters.

Nuke technology in the form of DU has contaminated the middle east for thousands of years...what will nano do?
