School Shootings

Welcome back!!!  Not exactly a fun nor easy topic but one I think must be discussed. On February 14 a 19 year old former student walked into Stoneman Douglas High School and killed 17 students and teachers. He also injured 14 people. Without any weapons training he was legally able to purchase a Ar-15 semi automatic rifle. A weapon capable of firing 20 shots in 9 seconds.  Here's some more facts:

Discuss both of the following in your post: 

1. What is your initial reaction when you hear about an event like this?  
2. What do you think should be done to help ensure things like this can be avoided? 

The Environment

There is a lot of talk about the environment in the news. Melting ice polar ice caps, too much carbon in the atmosphere, and so much more. It is easy to feel horrible about it and that there is very little impact one person can have. But knowledge is power and collective knowledge can have an enormous impact.

Check out this site:
https://www.ewg.org/

It is a highly respected site that rates the quality of the products we commonly use for healh and environmental safety.

For this post I want you to research THREE common products you use or find at home and report what you finding. Is the product good/bad and did it change your opinion of it. 

For example: Search here for common skin care or cosmetic products: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep#.WoGyc7ynGUk and report what you use and what you found out.

Or search here for common household cleaning products and report what you use and what you found out:

Or search the food you eat and report the findings: https://www.ewg.org/foodscores#.WoG1cLynHRY

Sample post: 

I like to use L'Oreal Paris Brow Stylist Designer Eyebrow Pencil, Brunette. After researching the product I found it contains some ingredients that cause me concern. For example: The product uses Castor Oil for enhanced skin absorption with can lead to developmental or reproductive toxicity.
