Got Powdered Milk?

Canned tuna and powdered milk have been dubbed “the new duct tape” now that Mike Levitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services, has advised Americans to start stockpiling several weeks' worth of food in anticipation of a possible bird flu outbreak. A pandemic could conceivably disrupt our daily lives drastically for weeks on end, if previous pandemics are anything to judge by. “When you go to the store and buy three cans of tuna fish, buy a fourth and put it under the bed,” Leavitt said at a conference in Wyoming this past weekend. “When you go to the store to buy some milk, pick up a box of powdered milk, put it under the bed.” Al Franken speculated on his radio show this afternoon that the emphasis on canned tuna and powdered milk “can only mean one thing: the government is planning to fight the bird flu with cats.”




The Secret's Out About Sauerkraut

The Secret's Out About SauerkrautPosted by Kerry Trueman on November 29, 2005 - 5:56am.

Sauerkraut’s being touted as a wonder food these days, maybe even an antidote to avian flu. First came the Polish Women’s Health Study, showing an association between sauerkraut consumption and a reduced risk of breast cancer.

Then came the discovery that kimchi, a South Korean cousin to sauerkraut, may fight off bird flu; after 13 bird flu-infected chickens were fed kimchi for one week, 11 of the birds appeared to recover. The buzz about sauerkraut’s benefits sent sales soaring in the U.S. and Britain.

Interests: Horseback riding, watching the silence of the snow, obviously anything creative, cooking
Inspiration: Like most of you, when I heard of recycling to save the earth, I naturally assumed I needed to separate my plastics, newspapers and glass. I was helping. That was all I needed to do. Then one day, I was searching around for something fun, some art, and I came across this abstract piece. It was gorgeous - it looked like a naturally formed wave of icy white water bursting into the air. When I looked closer at it, I saw that it was made from recycled plastic caps. I was in shock. What kind of imagination and talent does that take to look at a plastic cap and see more to it then what it actually is? How can someone be so ingenious that they can take something that we normally throw away and create such a piece of beauty with it? This is the thought process that I could not stop pondering and it took over my mind, body and soul and soon enough became my muse. I began Earth's Journey for this reason. I wanted to show the world that there was more to saving the earth than just recycling. There is beauty in things we can't even imagine, and so many ways to help our planet flourish. There are products out there that we all could use to completely decorate, furnish and run a home... all environmentally safe. You can buy organic bedding, non-toxic cleaning detergents, solar power, or make a change in a small way by using energy-efficient light bulbs. But the best part of recycling and being eco-friendly is the beauty that you'll find here, with all of our different artisans. As you can see I'm very passionate about this type of artistic creativity, and I hope you will be too. I invite you to sit back, relax and ... Be Inspired by Green!
