Bees, a species in danger

I find subject matter that I hope will make a difference in someone's life or lifestyle. I also love to post things that are for the "greater good" of the world or people. Today I choose to highlight the Earthday.Org website.  https://www.earthday.org/

I learned so much from this website and I thought that this was something I had to pass on. You can become a "Global Citizen". You can become involved by learning, passing on the knowledge, or by taking individual action to make changes yourself.

You can join the world's largest environmental movement. This organization works year-round to solve climate change, end plastic pollution, and to protect the world's endangered species.  The website is user-friendly and will help to educate while broadening your knowledge, and this goes across the globe!

                **THE WEBSITE IS CONVERTIBLE TO 10 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES**

The organization is serving the USA, UK, Canada, India, Australia, Ireland, South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, Brazil, New Zealand, and 180+ more countries worldwide. 

When I heard about all the plastics floating in the world's waterways, I was appalled and I knew that I wanted to help in some way. I didn't know what I could do myself and I did some research and came up with this website.

I was broken-hearted hearing about how the Amazon forest was burning up and that groups and organizations were taking down trees, I felt saddened, knowing how much the Amazon helps our world and how terrible the world will be without it!

I wanted to learn more. What could I do? I'm just one person is it possible to help polar bears as their ice is currently melting? These problems seem so hard to fix what if anything can I do? That's where this organization comes into play.

You can find out what cities are doing to become "green" by 2020, you can find out about the food you eat, where it comes from and its connection to the health of our planet. You can actually become involved, you DO NOT have to give money (unless you wanted to), you CAN use your physical strength to become involved, get informed, with the information and even cast a vote.

The information is there on the website regarding where you can even sign up to help clean a roadway or waterway near you. Be a part of the good changes by becoming a citizen aware.

You can even learn about the history of Earth Day and its beginnings in 1970. Did you know there are artists, inventors, and filmmakers that are currently making a difference by helping to harness the power of the Earth? 

Get the facts on plastic pollution and how to take part in changing what's floating in our oceans. Learn about reforestation. Learn and gain knowledge and then pass it on to others.

Our world is fragile and so are the species in it.

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (s...

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large ...
