RECYCLING FOOD WASTE for OUR PLANET’S HEALTH with Climate Action Tips

Posted on December 7, 2024 by autocreate740

News we can use 🙂

During the holiday season, it’s common to purchase more food than we can consume. This presents an opportunity to use leftovers creatively, reducing food waste and its impact on climate change. My most recent podcast Episode #72 (Judith Guerra Wellness Connections) discusses what COMPOSTING is and why we want to participate in taking steps to employ this sustainable method of climate action to help with climate challenges. The NRDC (the Natural Resources Defense Council) states what COMPOSTING provides: “positive ways that protect the planet’s wildlife and wild places, and to ensure the rights of all people to clean air, clean water and healthy communities.”

Posted on March 20, 2024 by autocreate740

Always “news you can use” 🙂

In a recent Wirecutter Newsletter, I read “Staring at a device that emits blue light for too long at night might cause your body to suppress melatonin production, keeping you alert for longer.”

These topics can get pretty “nerdy“, so I am just going to give you some bullet points about Blue Light.

According to the website source, blue light is everywhere. For example, Sun, Cell phones, TV’s Tablets etc.

However, using these devices in the evening before bed, is not helpful for a restful night sleep because they might suppress melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone in your body that plays a role in sleep. It increases when it is dark and decreases when it is light.
