Just for the moment, we will forget how much better for you, using a menstrual cup is. We will not mention the reduced risk of thrush, or toxic shock syndrome. We will not even think about how convenient moon cups are, without all those boxes to buy each month, or carrying around spare tampons and towels all week. For now, we will just think about the really obvious impact menstruating women have on the planet. Well, those women yet to start using mooncups. The thing is women in the west have enjoyed the luxury of making their periods 'disappear' from sight. Unlike women in large parts of the world who have either rags, to be washed and re-used, or literally nothing to absorb their flow, we have...

There will come a time in every coin laundromat owner's future when moving on and pursuing other endeavors is the right thing to do. Regardless of your reasons for selling, if you have managed your business well, your coin laundry could be a substantial asset. However, if you've poorly managed your store, don't have an accurate set of financial information, and haven't planned for the sale far in advance, the value of your business could be negatively impacted. Despite what some might think, the time to plan for selling your store is not the day you list it for sale, but rather, the day you buy it. The one question that you should be asking yourself is, "What are the things that I can do now to...

Hydroponics literally means "working water" (hydro=water, ponics=work). Practically, it means growing plants without using soil, delivering nutrients only by a aerated nutrient solution. Hydroponics systems can be either closed or open systems. In closed systems the same hydroponic nutrient solution is recirculated and the nutrient content is monitored and adjusted. Keeping the nutrient balance in such systems is a challenge and the hydroponic nutrient solution has to be sampled and analyzed every week. The nutrient solution composition has to be adjusted according to the results. In open systems a fresh nutrient solution is introduced for each irrigation cycle. Inert growing media are usually used...

Things that are not good...

Our world is filled of various substances that are essential in making chemicals. These chemicals are important in our daily lives. Using them in appropriate doses have been made things possible for building homes, preserving food and other things needed for basic survival. They are known to maintain equilibrium in our body. Homeostasis is not possible without their existence. The environment relies on them as well. Chemicals are not only important to use but it is also important to plants and animals. Even some of our non-living things use them to extend their lives. Swimming pools are filled with chemicals. True to the fact that it is scary to be swimming in a body of water full of it, however...

1. Choose a crop that fit your field's conditions - Soil type - water infiltration capacity, how much air does the soil contain, how much water will be needed to wash the soil in order to avoid salinity build up. Does your soil have special drainage problems? For example, it is better avoid planting a salt sensitive crop in a soil which is not well drained. - The microclimate conditions in the field - parameters such as wind direction and solar radiation may affect water consumption of the crop. - The agricultural history of the field - did salts accumulate in the soil during a previous crop? - Irrigation water quality - Check the quality of the available source water. What kind of salts does it...

I am often asked what I personally look for when buying a coin laundromat business. There are five key factors that I pay attention to. If any of these factors do not pass the initial inspection, buyer beware. Ancillary Income Don't forget to count the Ancillary Income that a store generates. This could be as much as 10% of the Gross Income and makes a big difference to the bottom line. Ancillary items are vending machines, soda and snack machines, video games, pay phones, internet kiosks, tanning beds, etc. The average margin on ancillary items is around 50%, so $1,000 a month of ancillary income would net $500 to the bottom line. Not bad, eh? Make sure you take this into account when adding up the...

As many toxins as are found in our water (H2O) supply, often the chemicals that are being used to remove them and purify it are just as harmful for our bodies. Did you know that chlorine has a number of associated health risks, especially for children and babies? Here is a look at the risks of chlorine in drinking water that you should be aware of. The municipal facilities make sure that the chlorine levels in the H2O are at a pre-determined safe level, but this level is actually only safe for those who are one hundred fifty pounds or more. There have been other estimated safe levels for children, but these facilities are not required to meet these levels, and rarely do. For this reason, it is...

REVERSE OSMOSIS The most popular water purification process on the market today, is Reverse Osmosis. This water purification process was pioneered in the early 1950s  in response to the increasing incidence of kidney disease. RO was designed to replace the filtration function of the kidney, and is still used in the dialysis units of hospitals for this purpose today. Reverse Osmosis utilizes the properties of a membrane to prevent the passage of particles through the membrane. Any particle larger than a water molecule is prevented from passing through the membrane, while the H2O is permitted to flow through to the "pure water" side. Because of the incredibly small pores which the water passes...

Everyone wants to have clean and pure water to drink. Unfortunately such a thing does not exist anymore. Today's water quality standards are way off the mark when it comes to labeling water "safe" to drink. There is not a water source left on the planet that is pure and free of contaminants. Bottled water quality standards don't even exist. The truth about bottled water is that it is just as bad as or worse than tap water! Municipalities treat drinking water with chlorine to kill bacteria, viruses and microorganisms that cause disease, but chlorine itself causes cancer. They also often add fluoride to the drinking water to improve dental health, but fluoride causes bone cancer, fluoride poisoning...

The U.S. manufactures, or imports, well over 87,000 chemicals a year and 3,000 of them are produced in quantities in excess of a million pounds. That's three billion pounds from just those 3,000 chemicals! In this article we will look at some frightening research that shows these chemicals, and a lot of other toxic pollutants, are ending up in our bodies, and what you must do to protect yourself and your family. In a recent article I was reading, European Environment Commissioner Margot Wallstrom noted that a British doctor once told her each of us has roughly 300-400 synthetic substances in our bodies. Her curiosity piqued, she later participated in a limited screening. Her body contained 28 of the...

Not long ago, someone mentioned to me that there are two types of terrestrial aliens currently living on Earth amongst us, and that one of the alien species "wanted to enslave humans for the purpose of mining Earth resources," you know, like REEs or Rare Earth Elements for instance. Yep, this is a very good conspiracy theory indeed. And really it seems many Sci Fi authors have pondered this potential eventuality, and it's practically a Hollywood sub-genre, it's been used in various forms so many times now. Indeed, I suppose that's why humans domesticated Oxen, to ploy fields and harvest crops. And really on that storyline wouldn't any species do what's in their best interests? That seems to be how...

The one thing that almost no one knows about the way that mineral water benefits us is that it's really, really good for us. Packaged drinking water contains different kinds of gases, minerals and trace elements. The mineral content gives the water a taste along with a therapeutic value. In cases when gas is removed from the natural mineral water with the help of effervescent, the water is labeled as natural sparkling water or sparkling mineral water. Mineral water can also be artificially created after adding carbonation and minerals. According to the researchers the mineral water benefits us because the mineral content of the water can be very easily absorbed by the body as compared with the...

Knowing this, some companies have introduced mineral revitalization water purification systems. They use expensive and unnecessary reverse osmosis which removes all traces of the naturally occurring minerals and then they...

If you believe the advertising, mineral water benefits your health in many ways. The so-called "new" mineral revitalization water purification systems are capitalizing on this "fad" for minerals. Get your facts straight and make an informed decision before you buy. Fact 1 Some studies have shown that drinking distilled, which is de-mineralized water, is bad for your health. It seems to cause digestive problems and may lead to nutritional deficiencies. So, mineral water benefits are reported as "good for digestion" and "nutritionally supportive". The problem is that most of the bottled mineral water that you find has very low nutritive value. Only Perrier is a fairly good source of calcium, because...

According to the Mayan calendar which is a complex and mysterious calendar that has been constructed many centuries ago. December 12, 2012 is the exact date of a cataclysmic event. Many scientists have agreed with this Mayan prediction. They have researched that in the future; there will be an alignment of the earth, sun, and the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This happens once every 25,000 years only. Experts say that it could have a global cataclysm because the world may shift suddenly. Meaning, the North and South poles might shift into the equator that will cause earthquakes, storms, flooding, and volcanic...

There are three major categories of rainwater harvesting. Active systems utilize tanks, pumps, pipes and energy inputs. Passive systems use gravity, topography, swales, ditches and ponds. Integrated systems combine both of these and, sometimes, greywater and wastewater to ensure that each drop of water is used many times. It is important to note that transferring or removing water is never the intention of a collection system, simply the efficient use and reuse of the water before being released back into the watershed from which it was diverted. Allowing the rain to infiltrate through the soil and into the aquifer is the end goal. To do this we slow it down, spread it out and soak it in so that...

They are based primarily on the same design as the filtering system that has been used...

Your salt-based water softener can dump up to 500 pounds of salt into the environment each year, so salt-free free solutions to this environmental problem seem like a good idea. Salt is also damaging to some metals like galvanized pipe and the last thing most people want or need is a major repair on their water supply system. Because of the minimal negative effect on the environment, salt-free water softening systems are at least worth doing some research on before spending your hard earned money. Types of Salt-Free Water Softeners - Electric water softeners are said, by their manufacturers, to send an electric pulse through the water that prevents scaling. There is no real claim that it will remove...

These groups offer friendship, support and a shoulder to cry on to those who need help in Africa. Groups Volunteering in Africa Repair Roads and Improve Sanitation Many church...

"> Are you thinking about starting a backyard greenhouse? If so, let's first review what we know about growing vegetables and plants. Most often we all know what we want to grow but depending on what zone of the country you live in, you may have to choose, your vegetable selection, with what works in your climate zone. The success of your greenhouse will depend largely on the usage of your greenhouse and weather or not you decide to provide heat during the colder months of the year. You will then need to ask yourself, despite the fact that you have a greenhouse, whether it's new or existing, how are you going to use your greenhouse? Is it for starting seedlings? Is it to house existing plants? Is it...

The disadvantages of reverse osmosis are many, and we'll tell you why momentarily. The more important issue at hand is this, does reverse osmosis make water safe to drink? The answer to that is no, it doesn't. Reverse osmosis systems are available for both home and industrial use, but there are disadvantages of reverse osmosis in either category. Like the fact that for every one gallon of clean water that is produced 5 gallons of contaminated waste water is made. What with only about 1% of the world's water being drinkable, that's an awful waste of such a precious commodity. While from an environmental standpoint this waste water is costly, there are other resources being used at a high rate also...

Make no mistake about it, mineral water alone is not the answer to the water-purity problem. Simply because you buy bottled sparkling water doesn't mean it's all you should drink or somehow safer. The contaminant level for bottlers is no less than at public treatment facilities. If you think the bottled mineral water benefits outweigh other sources, you should read on. The mineral water wake-up call rang rather loudly. It happened when the most popular mineral water bottler in the United States, Perrier, issued a recall. The company found levels of the chemical benzene in a batch of their water bottles. So what is this benzene anyway? It's a natural component of crude oil that has been proven to...

Water deionization is a treatment process involving removal of minerals in water and so it is also called demineralization. It is achieved by passing feed water through ion exchange resins. The result is ultra pure water, but water quality largely depends on the process and the equipment used. Nonetheless, it is an important constituent of many industrial processes. Cosmetics and pharmaceutical companies purchase pure water in bulk quantities. Some companies actually have their own treatment facility but this is going to add much to the cost of operations. DI water is used to make cosmetic products and medicines because it does not affect the chemical nature of substances. Plain water contains...

Consumers across the country are becoming more and more aware of potential hazards that may be in their drinking water. While it is true that the United States has some of the safest drinking water on Earth, problems can arise.

If you live in a home that may be exposed to lead, you should test your water. This would include homes or structures that have lead pipes, brass fixtures, or plumbing joints that were sealed with lead solder. Plumbing that contains lead is normally found in older homes and apartments, but can be found in a few newer homes. It is...

At home, we have a swimming pool. Here in Australia, we're coming to the start of summer so we've taken the winter cover off the pool and are starting to clean it and get it ready for the first hot spell of summer. My wife took a sample of our pool water to a pool shop earlier this week and came home with a bunch of chemicals and instructions on how to clean up the pool water. We started adding the first round of chemicals and tested the water and discovered the ph levels - which had been too high - were now very low. We'd obviously added too much acid and reduced the levels too far. So today (Sunday) I took another sample to a different pool shop. You see, around where we live there aren't too many...

Owning a pool is a considerable expense, but knowing that you're running your pool for the best price you can will have you enjoying that water all the more. Here are 5 ways to save money with your pool and pool supplies. 1. Use a pool cover Pool covers prevent evaporation. That can save huge amounts of water in summer, particularly in low humidity, where the heat literally absorbs the pool water. It also helps save on chemicals in the water by reducing the rate of loss of chlorine caused by its reversion to a gaseous state over time. A further use for pool covers is preventing "donations" from trees, birds and other things landing in the water and contaminating it. The pool cover is a good thermal...
