I have written about this topic before in an early post, Toxic flame retardants: In our homes, our dust, our lives, but this HBO special covers this topic in much greater detail and packages it in video ;-) I believe it is very important for everyone to understand the level of chemical experimentation that is happening […]
The title says it all, and will hopefully convince you to find an alternative method of getting your daily caffeine fix. There will be more posts on this issue shortly, with some alternatives.
This is an interesting article because it points out that Monsanto, whom everyone hates (for all the right reasons I might add), seems to be shying away from GMO’s. Maybe shying away isn’t the correct statement here, but they do seem to be putting some r&d into alternatives. Read the article here on GRIST by Jesse […]
An very inspiring (TED-Talks award winning) speech on the state of our health with relation to how and what we eat. Jamie Oliver wants people to educate kids about what they eat, and give them the knowledge of what exactly they are eating and what is in their school lunches. As he says so brilliantly […]
Originally posted on UpWorthy.com by Megan Kelly If you know anyone who’s having trouble wrapping their head around climate change as a human-driven crisis, this video could really come in handy.

I have written about the hidden dangers of air ‘fresheners’ before; and basically they are loaded with chemical hormone disruptor’s that are terrible for you and your family.

I have been very busy so it has been a while since my last post (although I have lots still to talk about), but this needs to be mentioned. We have surpassed the 400ppm (part per million) threshold of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, which is a very scary place to be. This is the highest concentration […]
The largest ever study into the state of the world’s health has revealed that, for the first time, the number of years of healthy living lost as a result of people eating too much outweigh the number lost by people eating too little. The Global Burden of Disease report – a massive research effort involving […]
This is a great website and a great service designed to keep things that still work and still have some value out of our landfills (and into the hands of people who can use them). It is a simple and TOTALLY FREE service and like Kijiji or Craigslist it is broken up geographically so it is easy to find […]
