Experts estimate that at least 70 percent of all plastic is not recovered or recycled, and that more than eight million tons of it end up in our oceans each year. With over 150 million tons of plastic in the oceans right now, unless drastic steps are taken there will be more plastic than fish … Continue reading All our bodies are filled with plastic
Are bioplastics really as eco-friendly as they’re touted to be?
Approximately 165 million tons of petroleum-based plastic now pollute the ocean. Another nine million tons of plastic are added to the seas each year. Only nine percent of plastic is recycled. It takes at least 500 years for traditional plastic to decompose, as toxic chemicals break down and leach into the environment. In the rush … Continue reading Are bioplastics really as eco-friendly as they’re touted to be?
Amid IPCC climate alarmism report, scientists are now calling for CHEMTRAIL spraying to stop “global warming”
An international panel of climate scientists is reportedly calling on the nations of the world to take “unprecedented” new steps to address man-made global warming, including by blanketing the skies in chemical aerosols. Better known among truth-seekers as “chemtrails,” aerosol spraying purportedly has the potential to create a massive “heat shield” to protect the globe from the … Continue reading Amid IPCC climate alarmism report, scientists are now calling for CHEMTRAIL spraying to stop “global warming”
The link between glyphosate exposure and autism
The damning evidence against glyphosate continues to pile up, coming closer and closer to achieving a critical mass that might finally see the end of the toxic chemical. In an article on Green Med Info, exposure to the active ingredient of the Roundup herbicide was linked to gut dysbiosis in the digestive system of children with autism. … Continue reading The link between glyphosate exposure and autism
Is GMO corn the #1 cause of the Cancer Apocalypse?
The chronic sick-care system of America banks on at least 200 million people of all ages consuming pesticides daily in order to maintain peak capacity at doctor’s offices and hospitals. Have you ever been to the doctor or an emergency room and been the only person there, first to be seen and right away? Ever … Continue reading Is GMO corn the #1 cause of the Cancer Apocalypse?

Hummingbirds and bumble bees are being exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides at alarming rates
It’s quite simple: About 87 percent of all flowering plants are pollinated by animals, and this includes 70 percent of the planet’s most produced food crops. Bees alone are responsible for pollinating one in every three bites of food we eat. Without pollinators like bees, birds and bats, we would be faced with an overwhelming … Continue reading Hummingbirds and bumble bees are being exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides at alarming rates
Breakthrough: Researchers use nanoparticles to separate oil from water
The system of separating water and oil is one that can be laborious and expensive. Fortunately, engineering researchers from the University of Texas at Austin have come up with a simpler yet more efficient method of removing oil from water: magnetic nanoparticles. “It’s a simple idea,” stated Hugh Daigle, a petroleum and geosystems engineering professor. “We are … Continue reading Breakthrough: Researchers use nanoparticles to separate oil from water
How language shapes the way we think | Lera Boroditsky
There are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world -- and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures. But do they shape the way we think? Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky shares examples of language -- from an Aboriginal community in Australia that uses cardinal directions instead of left and right to the multiple words … Continue reading How language shapes the way we think | Lera Boroditsky
