Neil Greenstein, owner of Newark ShopRite: "One of the best things today was the children sharing the joy that they have during breaks in class to be able to enjoy something that so many communities take for granted."
Officials say they want to use the playground to teach students about healthy smiles and a healthy environment.

As pet parents, establishing a relationship with pet food brands that you can trust, and that are willing to evolve and make changes to their formula based on our cats' nutritional needs, is so important. It seems like not too many years ago there weren't all that many cat food choices on store shelves. Today a visit to the pet store can be overwhelming with new recipes and textures being added on what seems like a weekly basis. Our pets have to trust us to make the right decisions for them, and it's an even bigger deal because they end up eating the same thing almost every day!
Dear Recyclebank: Where does silicone fall on the eco-friendly spectrum? –Kim S.
Dear Kim: First, let’s make sure we are talking about silicone, and not silicon. Silicon (spelled without an “e” at the end) is the fourteenth element on the periodic table and one of the base materials that makes up silica, the most common substance on Earth. Elemental silicon is used to form the base of micro chips, and is also found in bricks, glass, and concrete as silica, and in enamels, pottery, and ceramics as silicate: A classification of minerals formed by mixing silicon, oxygen, and reactive metals. Silicones, on the other hand, are synthetic polymers made of silicon, oxygen, and other elements (usually carbon and hydrogen).
Silicones have many uses in a variety of industries and consumer products. They can be found in aerospace and construction adhesives, coatings, and sealants because they can withstand extreme temperatures and absorb stress. They are used in electronics as sealants because they are moisture, salt, and corrosion resistant. They’re used to house electronics like computers, fax machines, phones, and keyboards for the same reasons...
Providing a home for a pet is a large undertaking, and it from the moment you say, “I Do” to pet parenting it is your duty to power them up each day with great food, and fresh water. Love, hugs, affection, kind words, and toys all become part of pet parenting as well and all deepen your commitment to their sweet little personalities.
Whenever we took Bella from a shelter we had so many choices for nutrition, and trust me, we tried a lot, but we decided that there is a power in natural nutrition and the more simplistic the eats we provide her, the better it would be for her indoor health. Imagine the power f natural nutrition in your cat’s life, what would it mean to them and to you?

Fur babies share our love in ways human beings cannot, think about your pet cat for instance. Cats can be independent, but they truly do enjoy being around you, even though they might prefer standing on your computer while you work or sleeping on your head while you, yourself is sleeping. Fur babies make the best of friends quite possibly because they can’t talk back to us. When petting our fur babies we tend to feel more relaxed, less anxious and in turn our health is much better.
