Human genes engineered into experimental GMO rice being grown in Kansas

Unless the rice you buy is certified organic, or comes specifically from a farm that tests its rice crops for genetically modified (GM) traits, you could be eating rice tainted with actual human genes. The only known GMO with inbred human traits in cultivation today, a GM rice product made by biotechnology companyVentria Bioscienceis currently being grown on 3,200 acres in Junction City, Kansas -- and possibly elsewhere -- and most people have no idea about it.

Since about 2006,Ventriahas been quietly cultivating rice that has been genetically modified (GM) with genes from the human liver for the purpose of taking the artificial proteins produced by this "Frankenrice" and using them in pharmaceuticals. With approval from the U.S.Department of Agriculture(USDA),Ventriahas taken one of the most widely cultivated grain crops in the world today, and essentially turned it into a catalyst for producing new drugs.

Nano-particules.... not as safe as they predicted!

Hey Guys, I found this great article about nano-particules and wanted to share... @h.deux.flo Nanotechnology was supposed to revolutionize the world, making us healthier and producing cleaner energy. But it’s starting to look more like a nightmare. Nanomaterials—tiny particles as little as 1/100,000 the width of a human hair—have quietly been used since the 1990s in hundreds of everyday products, everything from food to baby bottles, pills, beer cans, computer keyboards, skin creams, shampoo, and clothes. But after years of virtually unregulated use, scientists are now starting to say the most commonly used nanoproducts could be harming our health and the environment. One of the most widespread nanoproducts is titanium dioxide. More than 5,000 tonnes of it are produced worldwide each year for use in food, toothpaste, cosmetics, paint, and paper (as a colouring agent), in medication and vitamin capsules (as a nonmedicinal filler), and in most sunscreens (for its anti-UV...

Great News with Unilever!

Unilever commits to 75% sustainable packaging Unilever made a well-timed move to commit to sustainable sourcing of packaging in July with research studies showing consumers will change purchasing decisions to support this type of ethical commitment. Unilever published its sustainable paper and board packaging sourcing policy as part of its commitment to double the size of the business while reducing its environmental impact. The policy outlines the Unilever’s ambitious goal to work with its suppliers to source 75 per cent of its paper and board packaging from sustainably managed forests or from recycled material by 2015, rising to 100 per cent by 2020. The commitment makes Unilever the first global FMCG company to commit to sourcing all of its paper and board packaging from sustainably managed forests or recycled material within a clearly defined timeframe. For the company’s requirements for paper from virgin sources, preference will be given to supplies delivered through the Forest ...

Being back....!

Being back... You are all going to agree with me, there is no better place than the one that makes you feel fulfilled...  Well, I can say that having collaborating a while with Christine Lewicki - a great author, mother, mentor - has truly changed my professional and personal lives. Indeed, today I feel I am doing what I am supposed to do, what I was meant to do. And this is what I called being fulfilled. I am not saying I have achieved the success I am dreaming of but I can say I am on the path to achieving success just because I enjoy my life in all ways. Thank you Christine for the beautiful work you do with people. You are truly talented in finding each of our uniqueness and pushing us forward.
