All of us Angelenos know the hard way (or can see examples of the hard way) that the constant sun is an amazing lifestyle choice, but that a good sunscreen is all that separates us from our best-worn leather jacket or worse. For those of us who also care about the impact of that sunscreen on us and the world around us: we've eagerly waited for the EWG's sunscreen ranking for 2011. There are some surprising good guys (Walgreens) and some surprising bad guys (Aveeno!), and about 1698 others in between. (Lizz Wasserman) [EWG]
