For a second, take a moment and think of how big our universe is. Where are we? Where do things begin? And where does it stop? We don’t have to answer this literally, but simply picture it in your mind. What you are about to see below will likely rock whatever you just imagined in your mind.

The Importance of Pollination – Louie Schwartzberg

Awareness continues to grow around the issue of our declining bee population, but it’s important that we continue to talk about the current fragile state of pollinators on our planet. Pollinators such as bees, hummingbirds, bats, butterflies, and others are vital to the health of our ecosystem. Did you know at least 80% of our world’s crop species require pollination to set seed? It’s estimated that one out of every three bites of food comes to us through the work of pollinators.

I capture the beauty and magnificence of pollinators in my films because I believe we must continue to speak up about this vital population that feeds the earth. Pollinators have suffered from loss of habitat, introduction of toxic chemicals, invasive plant and animal species, as well as diseases and parasites. The growing awareness of threats to pollinator populations is a sign of progress, but it is imperative that we continue to increase our efforts in the fight against decline.

Lay Out a Bold Plan in the State of the Union Address for Improving America’s Health | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government

From Neal Barnard, M.D., Physicians Committee (pcrm.org)

As you know, meat and cheese-heavy diets have led to an epidemic of childhood obesity and many other health problems. Despite efforts from the presidential administration, many problems remain unaddressed. We know that chronic health conditions that disproportionately impact low-income Americans are linked to poorer diet. We know that encouraging healthier eating at an early age instills healthier habits for a lifetime and can be reinforced in the school environment, in the workplace, in the home, and in the community.

Ask President Barack Obama to address health disparities and childhood obesity in the State of the Union. In order for our voice to be heard, we need your help to get 100,000 signatures on our White House petition leading up to the annual State of the Union address on Jan. 20.

We respectfully ask President Barack Obama to lay out a bold vision in his State of the Union Address for improving America’s health and combating childhood obesity by addressing (1) the poor state of health of many Americans, (2) the glaring health disparities between people who are economically challenged and those of means, and (3) continuing poor diet habits in children and the lack of progress in preventing childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic health conditions directly linked to poor diets.

The petition needs 100,000 signatures for the White House to provide a response.

Please ask your friends and family to sign the petition and share on Facebook and Twitter.

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Neal Barnard Headshot

Never Too Late to Start Eating Healthier | NutritionFacts.org

Since many tumors take decades to grow it’s remarkable that cancer risk can so dramatically be reduced even late in life.

http://nutritionfacts.org/video/never-too-late-to-start-eating-healthier/

Doctor’s Note: How amazing the human body is if we just treat it right! This reminds me of videos like Lifestyle Medicine: Treating the Causes of Disease or How Many Meet the Simple Seven? where simple changes can lead to tremendous differences in health outcomes. So please don’t allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good. Any movement we can make towards improving our diet can help. Though the earlier the better: See Heart Disease Starts in Childhood and Back in Circulation: Sciatica and Cholesterol.

A List Of 97 Taxes Americans Pay Every Year

Yet despite all of this oppressive taxation, our local governments, our state governments and our federal government are all absolutely drowning in debt.

When the federal income tax was originally introduced a little more than 100 years ago, most Americans were taxed at a rate of only 1 percent.
