Why the Read the Labels Campaign?
“*read the labels of what U eat, smell, taste, drink, wear, & use in
“any other way”
—Irucka Ajani Embry, from “Untitled: Prosaically delineating fortuitous gifts of virtue in a familial tonality” out of Balancing the Rift: ReCONNECTualizing the Pasenture. Page 215. ISBN# 978-0-9914994-0-3 {Questioning the Universe Publishing (QUP), 2014]; License: Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license (CC BY-ND 4.0)
The Read the Labels Campaign is rooted in the aforementioned quote from my book and from my background in ecological toxicology and risk assessment, which includes Environmental & Human Health, as an environmental engineer. I began my journey into health and “dis-ease” (much of our imbalances arise from ecological toxicology) when I was young due to my parents’ interest in natural health and foods.
The purpose of the Campaign is to create a healthier You and a healthier Mother Earth/Father Sky. It is an effort to get people to understand the true significance of the products that they purchase and use {it’s goal is to extend beyond Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) at their current stage}. I created, but never presented, 2 presentations concerning this campaign that provide additional useful information:
Read the Labels Campaign 2009 presentation and Read the Labels Campaign 2011 presentation (revisions in 2023) By Irucka Embry, EIT — [Requires PDF Software]
There are additional hidden labels that I did not include in either presentation. Those are “PharmaCrops” & “PharmaAnimals” (“Edible” Transgenic Vaccines); RNAi-Technology; Genetic Pollution/Gene Flow; and Gene Editing Using Gene Drives. Various resources concerning all of the hidden labels can be found at EcoC²S [Irucka Embry): EcoC²S Online Resources.
The campaign is focused on the levels of health from the “individual” Self to the Earth. The levels are graphically shown in the following image that I created for use in my article entitled: Towards a New Model of Medicine.
In addition to the resources on this Web page, I have other useful information available at EcoC²S Online Resources And Resources for a Healthier You (Resources to help us take responsibility back to heal ourselves and each other)

- Substance Registry Services (SRS) is the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) central system for information about substances that are tracked or regulated by EPA or other sources. It is the authoritative resource for basic information about chemicals, biological organisms, and other substances of interest to EPA and its state and tribal partners. The SRS makes it possible to identify which EPA data systems, environmental statutes, or other sources have information about a substance and which synonym is used by that system or statute. It becomes possible therefore to map.
