Drinking more water helps your health in more ways than one: it replenishes fluids in muscles and tissues throughout the day and post-workout; it satisfies your thirst, which can sometimes be mistaken for hunger and cause you to inadvertently eat more than you need; it alleviates signs of dehydration like fatigue, brain fog, and headaches. I'm lucky to live in a municipality with great-tasting, safe drinking water straight from the tap, and there's filtered water at the office and the barre studio. But if that's not the case where you live, getting your required eight glasses a day becomes more challenging. The solution?
Das ist mal eine wirklich tolle Aktion. Jetzt macht es uns der dm drogeriemarkt nicht nur leicht, unseren ökologischen Fußabdruck zu verringern sondern sorgt mit seiner neuen Nachhaltigkeits-Kampagne auch noch für garantierten Spielspaß.
- Más de 11 mil personas han sido beneficiadas con las acciones permanentes de la defensoría municipal
- A través de la campaña “Reciclando con causa” se han obtenido recursos para 3 sillas de ruedas, 3 andaderas y 2 bañera
El gobierno de Huixquilucan, encabezado por el alcalde Enrique Vargas del Villar, a través de la Defensoría Municipal de Derechos Humanos, ha beneficiado a más de 11 mil personas durante éste año, con pláticas en escuelas, con grupos de personas de la tercera edad, alcohólicos anónimos y asesorías jurídicas. De acuerdo con el defensor municipal, Mario Benito Fierro, de enero a la fecha se han brindado 260 asesorías jurídicas, 14 pláticas a grupos de adultos mayores y de alcohólicos anónimos. De manera coordinada con la Comisión Estatal de Derechos Humanos del Estado de México (CODHEM) se han impartido pláticas, a elementos policiacos y personal administrativo, que han sido de gran interés para los trabajadores. Cabe recordar que en febrero pasado arrancó la segunda etapa de la campaña “Reciclado con Causa”, en la cual Huixquilucan participa activamente, muestra de ello es que a la fecha se han obtenido los recursos necesarios para adquirir 3 sillas de ruedas, 3 andaderas y 2 bañeras. Dicha actividad, se realiza a través de las escuelas en las cuales se disponen de 6 contendores para la recolección de las envolturas de productos alimenticios y de higiene personal. El material recolectado se entrega a la empresa TerraCycle, que lo cambia por puntos y éstos a su vez en dinero, el cual se utiliza para ayudar a personas en situación vulnerable.
Have you ever thought about your drinking water? I mean…really thought about it? On one hand, we are incredibly blessed here in our country and we have access to clean, safe drinking water every single day. That is AMAZING. On the other hand, our drinking water is still polluted. It is polluted with things such as lead, mercury, pesticides, chlorine, etc. When you put it this way, our drinking water might not sound quite as great as we once thought.

Because You Asked: Can I Recycle Glass Candle Jars?
Dear Recyclebank: I was wondering if the glass jars that candles come in, such as those that Yankee Candle® uses, are recyclable with regular glass? –Leslie H.
Dear Leslie: If you’re like me, you’ll agree that gatherings on summer nights almost feel incomplete without a candle or two burning. This is especially true if you use citronella candles to fend off mosquitoes. Candles in jars are an easy way to light your cookout, or 4th of July party, with minimal mess, but once they’ve burned down, you’ve got extra waste on your hands.
It pays to recycle.
Ask the students at the Hawthorne Elementary School in Willingboro.
Their hard work paid off in a big way recently when they were able to jump and climb on the new playground they won in the 2016 TerraCycle Recycled Playground Challenge for the first time.
The quest for the new play area began when Willingboro resident Lu-Ann Doyle, whose children and grandchildren attended the school on Hampshire Lane, wanted to get the students involved in a recycling project and help them understand the importance of saving resources and protecting the environment.
And did she ever...

OK, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it sure feels like it, especially after all the rain we got last night. We even have our first flowers!
We are experimenting this year with growing the plants upright by containing each in a large tomato cage instead of using a “fence” to keep them from sprawling all over the raised bed. It seems like only a week ago they were still pretty tiny. Now the leaves have topped the second of four rings. I try to push the leaves back into the cage before they get too big. So far it’s working.
A ação celebrou o Dia Mundial do Meio Ambiente a partir de exposições, palestra, apresentação da TerraCycle – empresa líder global no setor de reciclagem de resíduos de difícil reciclabilidade.
