Hi Everyone!

Today is Earth Day and I thought in case you were not aware of Lynn Henning's passionate work for the environment in Michigan I'd post a link. Lynn Henning won the Goldman Prize in 2010 for exposing how CAFOs in Michigan were contaminating the environment around them. The power of 1 person initially can make a HUGE difference!

Your Brain on Pollution


Hi Everyone!

Well there are a number of studies coming in suggesting pollution can cause damage to the brain despite the blood-brain barrier. Researchers at Ohio State University found those who are exposed ot air pollution have learning and memory problems and depression. They actually see physical changes in the brain. Researchers at Ohio State's Department of Neuroscience also found air pollution can cause inflamattion in the body and believe this can influence high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes.
