Renew…….Reuse…….Respect
The true magic of forests is that even when you leave them, you never really do. From the wood in our homes to the paper in the office. It’s amazing how often forests touch all of our lives. Maybe you’re wondering, if we use so many of these products, will there be enough trees for furture generations? Yes, if we balance the needs of nature with our needs. That’s way the people of the wood and paper products industry plant more than 1.7 million new trees every day, work to protect wildlife habititas and encourage recycling. So while this day may not last forever, at least our forests can. Learn more at Abundant Forests.
*Natural and Sustainable Living Tip: Tame allergies the natural way. Your runny nose and watery eyes are annoying, yes I feel your pain. The over-the-counter allergy medicine isn’t cutting it nor are they containing any sort of ‘great’ ingredient to help the environment, much less helping you. You many not know that there are proven natural rememdies to ease your symptoms and some even nix them completely. The best ingredient and product I have found to work GREAT is butterbur (petasistes hybridus). A European herb with the abilities to ease hay fever symptoms. It contains compounds that inhibit production of leukotriense, which help trigger inflammation when you are exposed to allergens. Give it a try, it might be YOUR miracle drug of choice.

Shelly, I believe God leads us to information, etc. when we need it. I haven’t read your post in a while but felt lead to it today. Two of my grown children suffer with allergies and live in the South. I am getting the “butterbur” from the health food store today. Thanks. God Bless, Pam
