Environmental info

I may have shared this link with you before but I honestly can't remember!  It is the link to the Environmental Working Group (EWG).  Here is how they describe themselves on their web site:

The mission of the Environmental Working Group (EWG) is to use the power of public information to protect public health and the environment.

They offer information about environmental issues many of which I have never heard of before.  It is amazing the things that are out there that people are concerned about that the general public has no clue about.  Did that sentence make sense?!  You may read some of their stuff and call it 'bs' or you may read it and scare the crap out of yourself!  They cover many aspects of environmental health including cosmetics and personal care items (they just released their list on sunscreens), energy resources, farming practices, toxic substances.......  Lots of info.  Check it out if you are so inclined.

So, in that vein of thinking, here are ideas for enjoying a green Halloween.
