Yesterday I came across a comment to an environmental story which seems to sum up a very popular opinion - namely that it costs money to ‘go green‘. It said :

‘My biggest gripe with “going green” and all the nonsense that comes with it is that it costs so much money to be “green,” causing the larger majority of people to be unable to help out environmentally.’

Personally, I don’t agree with this at all. In fact, living an environmentally-conscious lifestyle can actually save you money. How?

I’m glad you asked.

This two-part article looks at the many ways to freeze food (including specifics for common food types), as well as a few suggestions for getting the most out of your freezer itself. It can be a wonderful piece of equipment.

Chances are that when you buy a new refrigerator, the freezer just comes along for the ride. It’s a part of the kitchen that most people don’t spend much time thinking about.

A few weeks ago I posted a video about Codex Alimentarius and how it will end your ability to buy vitamins and make choices about your own health treatments. A comment from Christie led me to this video, a bit longer and more in depth.

International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller of Well TV announced the release of a new documentary about the threat to medical freedom of choice. ‘We Become Silent: The Last Days of Health Freedom‘ details the ongoing attempts by multinational pharmaceutical interests and giant food companies — in concert with the WTO, the WHO and others — to limit the public’s access to herbs, vitamins and other therapies.

‘We Become Silent’ is narrated by Dame Judi Dench, the noted UK actress who has won multiple Golden Globe awards, an Oscar, and a Tony for her on-stage work, in addition to dozens of other honors throughout her prestigious career.

Better Health Answers says :

Even U.N. and medical statistics indicate over 2 BILLION people will be affected by this [Codex Alimentarius] level of pharmaceutical corruption in over 150 countries

See the video Christie was referring to How Codex Alimentarius Will End Your Ability To Buy Vitamins as well as the first video of this series on Codex Alimentarius - The End Of Natural Health Vitamins and Herbs

We Become Silent by Well Tv. Thank you Well TV for doing the work you do
