Green Glossary

I believe that most of us are becoming more aware about our environment and learning more about being healthier in lifestyle, eating right and taking care of our planet.

With that said, I think it would be nice to be up on some of the greener terms that are starting to seep more into our vocabularies and in what your read. I thought it would be helpful to know what Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APEs) are. They are found in laundry detergent, Or PABA an ingredient that was used in sunscreens but no longer because about 40% of those who use it are allergic.

A to Z terms and definitions put together by the Green Guide. It's good to be smart and safe. HAPPY SPRING.

NJ new stimulus proposal

I'm sure that you have been following our deficit saga for that last 2 years. Especially since last summer the NJ economy has been going down the tubes and all you hear politicians argue and come up with lame proposals and ideas on how to fix our rapidly sliding economy.

Our unemployment level has been the lowest it has been in over 25 years. This link features the newest proposal to help create jobs. It is a start but it doesn't really chip the tip of the iceberg of debt that we currently face. It seems to hit one segment of what needs to be done? What do you think?
