When people needed eggs, milk or bread they would go to their local farmer’s market or to the nearest farm to purchase these items and bring them home in order to feed their family.

Once in a landfill, an environment where sunlight, heat, water and stress are present the Bio-Bubble will begin to decompose.Once decomposition has occurred the only by-products that result are small amounts of CO2, H2O and biomass that serve as nutrients for soil microbes. Bio-Bubble is non-toxic and will not harm plants, animals or humans.This eco-friendly alternative will not cost you any more than regular bubble wrap either!

Live Consciously in 2008!
January 8th, 2008
To live consciously means (at least to me) that I must become more aware of how my daily actions impact on the environment and on others. This awareness of how my actions affect the world will inevitably lead me to make positive changes to lessen my impact. How is this different from making a resolution? Simple psychology! When one makes a resolution it is almost always a statement such as “I will lose weight”, “I will quit smoking” or, “I will stress less.” As great as these resolutions are, they are statements made without a plan and without the recognition of what has brought you to the point where you state, “I will lose weight.”
