Tweeting A Revolution

Tweeting A Revolution

I recently read that women are the leading forces in the utilization of social media for the greater good. Not only do we enjoy it, we can advocate for important causes without leaving our living rooms. It's fun to share photos and funny videos, express feelings, and spout ideas. When I first joined Twitter in 2008, …

What Goes Up Must Come Down

What Goes Up Must Come Down

Going to the beach in summer is a happy tradition for a lot of people. This year, the beach may be the only reprieve from the heat. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has just confirmed what you may have already suspected – Americans are enduring the hottest weather in our recorded history. According to the …

Dirty, Deadly Soot

Dirty, Deadly Soot

Kids get dirty. But recently, I learned about a new type of dirt that is particularly harmful to children. It's called soot. Soot causes health problems because we breathe in the particle pollution, which is too small to be expelled easily by breathing; it lodges deeply in our lungs and stays there. Soot is a …

Ban Fireworks?

Ban Fireworks?

What's not to love about 4th of July fireworks? Apparently, there's a few issues that cause me to pause and wonder what else we're shooting up into the sky. Issues? According to this post, “Fireworks contain a nasty concoction of toxic chemicals, from lead, barium, chromium, dioxins and even carbon monoxide as well as particle-filled smoke which …

My Dad's Better Than Yours

With Father's Day approaching, we often find ourselves thinking in stereotypes–we can't help it, ever-present advertisers love to put us into categories, and we often follow suit. But when it comes to clean air, it doesn't matter whether you are a mom or a dad. We need to educate ourselves and help our kids by …

Tuna Shopping

Tuna Shopping

I feel grocery shopping is a real chore, particularly when one has very young kids in tow. To add to the chore, parents need to be diligent and read labels carefully…because not all store managers think to carry the healthiest foods for our kids. So we go shopping around from store to store, looking for …

Something's Unnatural In The Air

Something's Unnatural In The Air

Don't you hate advertisements? Even going to the beach for a quiet day with your daughter doesn't bring relief from people trying to sell you stuff. The worst is when large companies try to tell you they are doing the right thing, when they are not. Politicians often do the same thing. They tell you …
