Much of the activists' everyday work revolves around describing how the so called \"cancer industry\" downplays possible environmental links to protect their political and economic interests and they demand that the public play a role in scientific, policy, and public health decision-making to build a new framework of breast cancer prevention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom Pink to Green\u003c\/i\u003e successfully explores the intersection between breast cancer activism and the environmental health sciences, incorporating public and scientific debates as well as policy implications to public health and environmental agendas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara L.
