HERSHEY CHOCOLATE TO STOP USING CHILD LABOR TO MAKE THEIR CHOCOLATE!!! AWESOME!!!!
Dear Lenetta,
Thank you for all your actions and support for a greener economy in 2012. We got Hershey to commit to stopping abusive child labor in their cocoa supply chain, introduced Clean Energy Victory Bonds in Congress, launched our biggest campaign ever for sustainable food, and helped thousands of local, green businesses emerge and thrive. Together, we are a powerful force!
We're looking forward to working with you in 2013 to accelerate the green economy and a more just, sustainable world. We'll be taking action on the top priorities of the green economy -- taking back our energy, food, and financing systems; making supply chains more fair; and advancing green businesess.
In the days ahead, we'll be sharing our plans (and requesting your feedback!) for advancing each of these big green-economy priorities in 2013. I look forward to taking action with you throughout the year.
What do you do with those 1 or 2 glasses that can't go in the dishwasher. Do you wash them by hand then dry them and put them up, or wash them and put them on the edge of the sink to dry. Either way, thanks to my daughter, Kisha, I now have a wonderful solution.
Cups that change colors to warn you of date rape drugs
Typically date rape drugs are so hard to detect because they're odorless, colorless, and tasteless that many unsuspecting revelers aren't aware they're being victimized until it's too late.
Now a start-up called DrinkSavvy is hoping to fight sexual assault by warning people about what may be in their cup. DrinkSavvy, which is currently looking for funds on Indiegogo, has developed a line of cups, straws and drink stirrers that can detect “date rape” drugs, instantly.
DrinkSavvy founder Mike Abramson worked with chemistry professor John MacDonald at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts to develop a special material that changes color when it comes in contact with three common 'date rape' drugs: GHB, ketamine, and rohypnol. Abramson is offering the products online for free at select rape crisis centers, and hopes to expand their use at bars, colleges, and clubs.
He says he got the idea for the cups after he was a victim of the drugs himself. “Within the past three years, three of my very close friends — and myself — have been the unwitting victims of being drugged. … And I want to prevent it from happening to anyone else,” he said.
This isn't the first attempt to introduce drug-detecting drinking devices. In August, a professor at Tel Aviv University developed an anti-date rape straw which could detect ketamine and GHB.
What an awesome idea. I hope to see these everywhere soon. I have a daughter
in college and I worry about every time she goes out.
“A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100
Wow- very interesting....Everyone should read :) ONIONS! I had never heard this!!! PLEASE READ TO THE END: IMPORTANT In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu... Many of the farmers and their families had contracted it and many died.
The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the

These are getting 5 stars. They are super easy, super tasty, and easy to change ingredients to make them taste different. Don loved these and ask for me to make lots of them to have on hand.

a few days later I had grey back. I called them and they told me to redo it and leave it on for an extra 5 minutes. They sent it to me again at no charge. Sweet!!
So, I redid it yestereday. Will keep track of how long it takes for the grey to come back this time. I want this to work so bad. It's only 19.99 a month.
