Going "green" is nothing new. Long before the recent trends people have been trying to use healthier alternatives to toxin latent products for decades. In fact I have been using "green" products for most of my life. My question is very simple. Is going Green just a fad or is it really the right thing to do? Whether or not you have concerns of Global Warming or Green House Gases I believe that using environmentally friendly products (not just house hold cleaners) is the right thing to do, always. Below are just of the few statistics I have rounded up. Some are very shocking. The amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough to heat 50 million homes for 20 years. About 110 million Americans live in areas with levels of air pollutants the federal government considers to be harmful. Americans dump 16 tons of sewage into their waters--every minute of every day. Although water covers two-thirds of the surface of the Earth, all the fresh water in lakes, stream

Products on market today that claim to be recycled or have recycled content in them may not be true. Because there are not any regulations in place about recycled content, it's often confusing and misleading to consumers. By distinguishing the difference between what Post Consumer Waste and Post Industrial Waste, Consumers can make more educated decisions on the products that they purchase. Post-Consumer Waste can be defined as paper that has already been used and returned through a recycling program, and keeping it out of the landfill. This process usually involves removing the inks from these materials and then processed to make new paper or board. Office paper waste makes up the majority of post-consumer waste content that is used to make recycled copy and printing papers. Pre-Consumer or Post Industrial Waste can be materials that have not met their intended end-use by a consumer and include allowable waste left over from manufacturing, converting, and printing processes. Examp

In order to preserve the environment for future generations and to ensure good health for all, recycling has become the need of the day. The act of processing used or abandoned materials and creating new goods out of it is called recycling. Many everyday goods can be recycled, including automotive equipment, batteries, construction equipment, electronics, glass, metal, paper, organics, plastic, and paint products. There are recycling centers all across the country where citizens can deposit their unwanted waste. In order to encourage citizens to recycle, many communities have curbside recycling services. People have to separate their waste and the local authorities will, on specified days, pick goods from the curbside. There are even some recycling centers that pay you for dropping off recyclable goods. People need to be told which kind of material can be recycled and where it can be dropped off. Batteries, for example, leak toxic material into the soil. It’s cheaper in

Recycling is integral to living a ‘greener’ life, but many people don’t really understand the environmental benefits of separating their rubbish for this purpose. Whilst it is perhaps clear that the less we recycle the more landfill space we use, the other environmental plus points of recycling are less widely appreciated. And there are many plus points, all of which add up to recycling being a crucial activity in combating climate change. The reduction of landfill is certainly important, with space running out and landfill gases contributing themselves to global warming. But in addition to this are a number of other very good reasons for not simply discarding everything we use. In terms of raw materials, recycling reduces the consumption of these, which can have a very positive environmental impact. Use of materials such as wood is causing serious environmental issues, so recycling paper products is an easy way to reduce this requirement. In addition, the energy expended

Relentless,

For generations men have been giving women chocolate to show their affection for them. Chocolate makers love to see Birthdays, Christmas and Valentines Day come around. They know that it's money in their pockets. It's as common a gift as flowers and diamonds when a man wants to apologize or make up for something. But what is it about chocolate that's made it the symbol of love? Is it more than just a modern marketing ploy ? One chemical in chocolate is phenethylamine. It acts like a antidepressant and makes us feel good. Another chemical in chocolate is anadamine. It also contributes to feelings of well being and euphoria. These chemicals encourage the brain to produce serotonin which encourages feelings of well being. These chemicals combine to give women many of the same feelings as being in love. So you can see why men are so keen to give it as a present! Research shows that the chocolate melting in your mouth causes an increase in your brain activity and in your heart

There has been a lot of talk lately about the health benefits found in chocolate. New research is coming out talking about its positive effects regarding lowering blood pressure, regulating insulin levels in diabetics, helping pregnant women, dental health, cardiovascular, sleeplessness. The list goes on. Before you go on a chocolate binge at your local grocery store, keep this in mind. All Chocolate is Not Created Equal! Most candy bars and chocolate foods commonly found in grocery stores are not what you're looking for. These are typically high in refined (white) sugar, milk fats, and hydrogenated oils-ingredients that replace the truly healthful nutrients found in cocoa. It is basically Junk Food, and should be eaten in moderation. Healthy Chocolate is totally different than store bought chocolate. The true healthy chocolate products combine the antioxidant benefits of the finest, all-natural European cocoa powder and the Acai berry (Ah-Sigh-EE) from the Amazon Rain Forest. Heal

Humanity has advanced so much in terms of technology, society, and culture. It is necessary; we need to advance as we live in a world that has become more complex by the day. Unfortunately, we are abusing nature for this advancement. Our factories have emitted greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The need for timber and dwelling places resulted in the denudation of our forests. Our marine travel polluted seas. Our landfills contaminated groundwater. That is why we now have stronger hurricanes, more massive landslides, warmer climates, and escalated extinction; these are the consequences of damaging our world and the fragile ecosystems. Astronomer Carl Sagan said in as commencement exercise in 1996 regarding a photograph titled The Pale Blue Dot (referring to the earth as seen by Voyager 1 6.4 billion miles away), we have “to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.” How true. And one of the easiest ways to save our world is through recycling. Recycling i

Though many people have heard the warnings about drinking water from the tap, many people are still actually unaware of what is in our drinking water. Even more people have no concerns what so ever about drinking water that comes from their faucet because they believe it must be safe and they have no actual idea of what is in our drinking water that can be harmful to us. The environment is inundated with chemicals everyday that will eventually find their way into the water that we drink if it is not filtered with a quality drinking water system that filters these harmful chemicals out. When we consider what is in our drinking water and come to the realization that the drinking water system in the United States contains over 2,100 chemicals that are toxic and can cause cancer, we quickly see how important a quality filtration system is. Most consumers believe that the water they have coming from their faucets is properly filtered by the water company. They are completely unaware of what

Plasma TV or LCD TV? What's REALLY the difference? It's no doubt that there's still a lot of confusion and misinformation when it comes to the differences between Plasma TV and LCD TV. So how do you know which technology is right for you? Well, it's not a simple matter of Plasma TV is better, or LCD TV is better. It really depends on your circumstances and preferences. Let's talk about the differences and the pros and cons for each, as well as some of the misconceptions regarding these TVs, and hopefully that will help you in your decision making process. Many people confuse Plasma TVs and LCD TVs because at a quick glance they look the same...they're both flat screen TVs, with a thin profile, which can be mounted on a wall. They're definitely both very cool technologies. They share other similarities, of course, such as screen resolution, input types, and a few others, but Plasma TVs and LCD TVs are totally different technologies, and there are differenc

Now is the time to build a greenhouse -- a quality homemade greenhouse. Start growing vegetables year round and free yourself from the ever rising cost of produce. That's exactly what I have done. A quality homemade greenhouse isn't difficult or expensive to build -- I've constructed three different designs with no previous experience. All are well built metal and wood structures that will last a lifetime. If you are serious about growing vegetables and you want to save money, then you should seriously consider building a quality homemade greenhouse. Here is how I built my second homemade greenhouse. It started as a large patch of weed infested ground, and now it's a nice strong hot house that serves me year round. The idea was to create two 3 foot wide by 36 foot long raised beds with a sunken walkway in between. A metal and wood frame greenhouse would then be built on top. I dug it. The first steps of the process involved creating the sunken walkway that would run bet

One of the things that most of my coaching clients have in common is that they want to live a fulfilled life. After all, who really wants to live an unfulfilled life? So the question that you may have is How do I live a fulfilled life? Here are 3 keys to help you live the life that you want. 1. Know what you want out of life. Imagine that you were hungry and really wanted to eat. You go to a restaurant and when the waiter asked you what you want you said ‘I just want to be full so just bring me some food.’ A few minutes later they bring you out the most disgusting food you have ever seen. This is what it can be like in life as well. Just because you want to live a full life doesn’t mean you will. Only when you know exactly what you want out of life can you start to live a fulfilled life. 2. Actively pursue it. This may seem very obvious but just think about the things in your own life that you want but aren’t actively pursuing them. You may have all kinds of reasons, excuses, doubts, a

Shannon Baldwin There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy. There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three--body, mind, or soul--can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul. We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body and denying both mind and soul; and we see that real life means the complete expres- sion of all that people can give forth through body, mind, and soul. Whatever you can say, no one can be really happy or satisfied unless their body is living fully in every function, and unless the s

A subscriber recently wrote to me and asked me to consider this common phrase – Once in a lifetime. “Isn’t every moment of our lives, once in a lifetime?” he asked. Touché! Indeed, he is correct. Every moment of our lives is the last chance we get to live that moment. What happens though is that we figure we will be able to live another moment in the same way we are passing on right now. Time becomes a commodity that we trade… and the riskiest commodity of all – futures! We pass on this moment for the option to live it in the future. The problem is that there is no guarantee of the future… Take some time this week to think about the Once in a Lifetime opportunities you are passing up each day: The opportunity to play with your children or grandchildren. The opportunity to love your spouse. The opportunity to take that business risk. The opportunity to take that dream trip you have thought of for years. Live for today my friends. Make today the best day that you can. Be aware of every m

Nargis formed into a tropical cyclone on April 27, 2008, in the central Bay of Bengal about 360 miles off of the southeast coast of India. Cyclone Nargis was, when it made landfall around the mouth of the Ayeyawaddy (Irrawaddy) river, about 220 kilometres south-west of Rangoon, a Category four storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane strength, with sustained winds of 132 mph. Nargis is the deadliest cyclone to hit Asia since 1991, when 143,000 people perished in Bangladesh from a land-falling cyclone that year. The formation of Tropical Cyclone Nargis in the Bay of Bengal coincides with the start of cyclone season in the North Indian Ocean, which typically runs from April through December. Burma, devastated by Nargis, is undergoing a natural and human disaster. As Tropical Cyclone Nargis swept over the Irrawaddy River Delta, pummelling the area with high winds, storm surge, and heavy rains, many tens of thousands of people have lost their lives. The Associated Press noted that a

Walaupun lebih lima minggu kejadian taufan Nargis melanda Dataran Irrawaddy, Myanmar, mayat-mayat mangsa terkorban masih boleh dilihat bergelimpangan di kiri dan kanan jalan. Malah lebih teruk, mayat-mayat itu dicampak ke dalam terusan atau kubur besar yang digali tanpa sebarang tanda. Pemerhati misi bantuan Kijang Care ke Myanmar, Syed Azidi Syed Aziz berkata, keadaan tempat yang dilanda taufan Nargis amat dahsyat dan sukar digambarkan kerana persekitarannya yang rosak teruk dan mayat mangsa korban masih dibiarkan begitu sahaja. “Berbanding Tsunami yang melanda Acheh pada 2004 lalu, memang segala-galanya musnah tetapi mangsa korban masih mendapat perhatian tetapi tidak di sini (Myanmar) usaha membersih kawasan yang dipenuhi mayat masih tidak dilaksana sepenuhnya lagi,” katanya yang baru pulang dari misi bantuan tersebut. Misi bantuan Kijang Care menjalankan operasi kemanusiaan di Myanmar bermula 2 hingga 6 Jun lalu yang disertai lima petugas membawa bekalan makanan, ubatan dan pakaian

How much do you reckon they paid her to show up??

Adultery is only a joke for those who are not devastated by it. The assumption for thousands of years has been that men are more prone towards adultery due to their genes and their need to spread their seed for continued survival. This may have been true at the beginning of time, but in our over-populated world, have we not evolved enough for our minds to control our behavior? Men may also be more prone to adultery because many men find it easier to separate sex from love than women do. In addition, men may have more power and money so women may put up with adultery because they feel responsible to take care of the children and thus, feel trapped. Main shifts in the power balance in marriage have altered adultery. The incredible shrinking double standard in matters of sex has created a shift of heroic proportions in the nature of sexual infidelity. According to recent findings with a sample pool of 37,000 persons, 15% of wives have reportedly cheated on

JOHOR BAHRU 7 Jun – Segelintir pengusaha bas ekspres di Terminal Bas Larkin di sini didakwa menaikkan tambang mereka melebihi 40 peratus dengan alasan kenaikan harga minyak. Tindakan tersebut membebankan pengguna yang terpaksa membeli tiket yang mahal itu kerana tidak mempunyai pilihan lain. Seorang pelajar, Farah Ishak, 16, berkata, dia membeli tiket bas untuk perjalanan dari Johor Bahru ke Shah Alam pada harga RM55 untuk perjalanan sehala berbanding harga RM30 sebelum ini. “Terkejut juga saya sebab selalunya kalau tambang naik pun setakat RM5 sahaja tetapi kali ini ia naik sampai RM15 berbanding tambang asal,” katanya ketika ditemui di terminal itu hari ini. Mingguan Malaysia juga difahamkan terdapat penumpang yang membeli tiket untuk perjalanan sehala dari Johor Bahru ke Kuala Lumpur dikenakan harga RM60 berbanding kadar biasa RM25. Seorang lagi penumpang bas, Siti Norizan Sulaiman, 25, berkata, perbuatan menaikkan tambang secara sewenang-wenang itu dilakukan oleh pengusaha bas

Every major gossip rag and website in the US has been desperately clawing away to reveal the truth behind the relationship of “just good friends” Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan. But last night one of the girls gave away a startling clue about the whole affair, which might just crack the case wide open… Earlier last week reports emerged that Lindsay Lohan had turned down a $1 million offer from OK! magazine to come out about her rumoured relationship with gal pal Samantha Ronson. Apparently the magazine tried to persuade Lohan to do a cover story where she "comes out" about her relationship with Ronson. One source revealed that Lindsay really wanted to do the deal because she desperately needed the money. But Lohan's spokesperson strenuously denied this accusation, stat

These researchers thought to question how things have always been done. If you’ve ever had to chug barium before a CT scan of your tummy, this story will sound too good to be true. For years, countless people have had to force down about 1,200 cc of a barium contrast drink before having CT scans of their abdomen and pelvis to diagnose bowel disorders and abnormalities. The barium coats the insides of the esophagus, stomach and intestine, appearing dark while the intestinal wall appears brighter. The contrast from the barium allows radiologists to better visualize the bowel wall and more clearly delineate the bowel cavity and soft tissue. Barium drinks, however, can come with unpleasant side effects like constipation, diarrhea, nausea and cramping. The acidy-burning taste of the chalky, milky liquid can make getting it down one of the most unpleasant parts of the diagnostic test. Children especially balk at drinking the barium–based drinks. Researchers at St Luke’s-Roosevel

Yesterday Angelina Jolie celebrated her 33rd birthday and while many men would be envious of Brad Pitt's relationship with the intensely beautiful lady we're sure they wouldn't envy the task of finding her a special gift. What do you buy the woman that has everything? Well with that question ringing is his ears 44-year old Pitt headed to a contemporary design art furniture fair in Switzerland and surprised dealers when he splashed some enormous amounts of cash. First he blew £150,000 on a hollow (yes, hollow!) white marble table and if you think that sounds extravagant you aint heard nothing yet as the film star then went on to order a rug made of aluminum, a couple of fancy chairs and a gold lacquer-coated Fiberglas sofa totaling £200,000. Do you think they saw him coming? But what we really want to know is what did he buy for Ange? Well apparently he spent a meager £50k on some art for her, doesn't sound all that impressive now does it.

SYARIKAT enjin pencari Internet terkemuka di dunia, Google Inc kini dalam usaha melaksanakan kajian mengenai pasaran negara ini termasuk faktor bahasa, budaya dan gaya hidup serta tabiat pelayaran di kalangan pengguna Internet tempatan. Naib Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai Internetnya, Vinton G Cerf berkata, syarikat itu masih meninjau peluang dan masa yang terbaik untuk meluaskan pasarannya ke negara ini. “Pasaran Malaysia semakin penting kerana rakyat negara ini adalah pengguna terbesar kemudahannya di Asia Tenggara,” katanya yang turut dikenali 'bapa Internet'. Katanya, tabiat pelayaran Internet pengguna berbeza dari satu negara ke negara lain kerana ia berkaitan dengan budaya, bahasa dan kepercayaan masing-masing. “Kajian yang dilaksanakan penting kerana ia memberi kefahaman terhadap keperluan dan kemahuan pengguna Internet dan tabiat pelayaran mereka di negara ini yang menjadi penentu kejayaan Google,” katanya.
