The Princess of Wales brings Awareness to Holistic Healthcare Upon Completion of Three Peaks Challenge

Image
The Princess of Wales completed the Three Peaks challenge over the weekend.  The challenge involves a blend of driving and trekking through three of the highest mountain peaks in England, Scotland and Wales--Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa. The challenge areas cover 23 miles of walking distance along with a 462 mile drive between each peak.   The challenge is open to the public and many aim to walk to the summit of the peaks within 24 hours.  However, the trek is so grueling and extensive that only 40% of the individuals attempting the challenge are able to complete it within this timeframe.  It is recommended that individuals desiring to complete the Three Peaks Challenge engage in strength training over a period of eight to twelve weeks. Whether Catherine engaged in strength training is unknown but she has always been quite athletic.  Not only did Catherine complete the challenge--she is part of the smaller percentage of people who were able to comp...

SPOTLIGHT ON: Greta, THE GREAT!

Greta Thunberg is a young climate activist who Is bringing world governments to shame based on their inadequacy of action and repeated denial of climate science. Greta hails from Stockholm, Sweden and is a passionate climate activist inspiring both children and adults alike! She was born with Asperger's and developed a passion for the environment at the age of 10. She recalled a memory during a classroom lesson where environmental issues was a topic; A topic that made the the whole classroom quite sad.





"We saw these horrifying pictures of plastic in the oceans and floodings and so on, and everyone was very moved by that. But then it just seemed like everyone went back to normal."
She knew that she had to do something about the harmful issues plaguing earth and ever since that day, she has been an effective player in the climate change revolution.
Beginning in august, Greta sailed from Plymouth, England into the New York harbor on an emissions free yacht with the help of a few crew. The yacht, named the Malizia II, is fitted with solar panels and hydro generators; a very rare water vessel indeed.






The 15 day sailing was covered by European media extensively. she had the cheers and enthusiasm of her country rooting her on. When asked what she would miss about the voyage, she exclaimed,
"To just sit, literally sit, staring at the ocean for hours not doing anything.”
I can cosign on that, Greta! Whether smooth or rough seas...wI'll absolutely take it! It is exhilarating to see a young, like minded individual who not only has a green climate revolutionary but who also has a great love for the ocean.
Greta decided to take a year sabbatical from school in order to dedicate her time to climate change work. she is on an important mission to warn others about our changing climate while persistently urging her peers and others to take action in this fight. Greta is an outspoken and brave teen who is influencing children and teens all over the globe to join together and shift the atmosphere for the greater good of this planet and the future generations who will live in it.
She has some serious thoughts about President Trump's denial of climate science and urged him to "just listen to the science." She is leading the Fridays for Future movement, a somewhat controversial movement which encourages teens to skip school on Fridays to protest the lack of governmental action in the climate change crisis. So far, thousands of teens around the world have participated in the strikes.
UN Secretary General, António Guterres, encourages the strikes as he believes these young voices should be heard.
"My generation has failed to respond properly to the dramatic challenge of climate change. This is deeply felt by young people. No wonder they are angry," said Guterres.
Greta led a protest in Washington DC today flocked by hundreds of young protesters, fans, cameras and reporters.
In the midst of the protest, she coyly grabbed hold of a black megaphone and said:
"I just want to say I’m so incredibly grateful for every single one of you, I’m so proud of you, who have come here and I--it’s a lot of people--this is overwhelming. Just never give up, we will continue and see you next week on 20 September” - for the planned global climate strike."

It’s Earth month folks! Happy Earth Month! This is one of the best months of the year where we spend most of our time giving back to our earth.  It can be difficult finding 100% natural perfume companies and fragrances.  After coming across a few articles over the years about natural or clean fragrance companies, the list is usually very short and there are only less than a handful that are spoken of.  The truth is that there aren’t that many that are out there.  Many of them are located overseas where standards and protocols for products designated for human consumption or usage are much more stringent and stricter.    Green News Guide has spent some time identifying natural, clean and sustainable fragrance companies in the USA and abroad.  I've compiled close to seventy natural or clean fragrance companies.  Many of these fragrance companies are committed to policies or missions that take into consideration the health of our planet.  I'm pr...
