One Square Inch of Silence is the quietest place in the United States. Located in the Hoh Rain
Forest at Olympic National Park
One Square Inch of Silence was designated on Earth Day 2005 (April 22,
2005) to protect and manage the natural soundscape in Olympic Parks
backcountry wilderness. The logic is
simple; if a loud noise, such as the
passing of an aircraft, can impact
many square miles, then a natural
place, if maintained in a 100% noisefree condition, will also impact many
square miles around it. It is predicted
that protecting a single square inch of
land from noise pollution will benefit
large areas of the park.
Park Service will promote relationships with individuals and organizations qualified to perform research,
and encourage them to direct their research toward park management objectives and the broader contexts
within which park resources exist
(Chapter 5.1.2 Independent Research).
Visits are made periodically to One Square
Inch to monitor for possible noise intrusions.
If noise intrusions are observed then an attempt is made to identify and contact the responsible party and they are asked to voluntarily quiet down. These actions are posted in the
News section of this website.

Civics
It's time to begin an honest public education
campaign about the minimal risks presented
by marijuana. Let's allow science, not rhetoric, to dictate America's public policy regarding marijuana. As you will see, the facts
speak for themselves.
ALLEGATION #1 - "There is a serious
drug problem in this country."
ALLEGATION #2 - "Nationwide, no
drug matches the threat posed by marijuana."
ALLEGATION #3 - "60 percent of teenagers in treatment have a primary marijuana
diagnosis. This means that the addiction to
marijuana by our youth exceeds their addiction rates for alcohol, cocaine, heroin,
methamphetamine, ecstasy and all other
drugs combined."
ALLEGATION #4 - "We may never rid
this country of every crack pipe or marijuana plant. However, research proves that
we have made substantial success in reducing drug use in this country."
ALLEGATION #5 - "The truth is that
marijuana is not harmless."
ALLEGATION #6 - "As a factor in emergency room visits, marijuana has risen 176
percent since 1994, and now surpasses heroin."
ALLEGATION #7 - "Smoked marijuana
leads to changes in the brain similar to those
caused by the use of cocaine and heroin."
ALLEGATION #8 - "One recent study
involving a roadside check of reckless drivers (not impaired by alcohol) showed that
45 percent tested positive for marijuana."
ALLEGATION #9 - "The truth is that

The FDA recently repeated its previous statements that current BPA exposures are safe.
However, the National Institutes of Health's latest review voiced "some concern" about BPA's
effects.
If you want to reduce your exposure to BPA,
there are some steps you can take:
Eat less canned food, and more frozen or
fresh food. In addition to avoiding BPA, you'll
also get more nutrients and less sodium -- both
steps toward a healthier diet.
