hat is the differencebetween Veterans Dayand Memorial Day
Many people confuse MemorialDay and Veterans DayMemorial Day is a day forremembering and honoringmilitary personnel who died inthe service of their countryparticularly those who died inbattle or as a result of woundssustained in battle
While those who died are alsoremembered on Veterans DayVeterans Day is the day set asideto thank and honor ALL thosewho served honorably in themilitary ndash in wartime orpeacetime In fact Veterans Dayis largely intended to thank

Good evening everyone we havesafely landed in Accra GhanaEnjoy your trip As I looked out thewindow I knew that this was nolonger New York City I wassurrounded by darkness theairport sticking out like a lightning
bug in the middle of the nightAll that I could see was a tinybuilding and planes parkedsporadically There were no jetbridges and the pathway to thenext four weeks of my life was atiny staircase The humidity hitme instantly like a pile of bricksand it was dark with only a fewlights twinkling in the boardingarea As we got in the car thepavement soon turned intodirty mahogany roads Thiswas not a big city and far frommy comfort zone
When I was nominated totravel to Ghana with my schoolmany of my friends and familythought I was crazy to betraveling to a developingcountry I listened to what they
were telling me but kept anopen mind My duty here wasto give back to the Ghanaiancommunity In New York
poverty is isolated to certaincommunities In Ghana I sawpoverty was at every angleespecially while I worked at akindergarten Upon arrival thechildren were very excited to seeand interact with us Through thecourse of the twoweek period in thecapital city of Ghana we were able
to remake the exterior design of the school teach the children
math and English skills and teachthem American multipurposegames like Red Light Green Lightand Musical Chairs
Although we began toreshape one aspect of the Ghanaiancommunity the country still needshelp My experience in Ghana hasallowed me to realize that it takesconstant work to stabilize a regionI would love to study abroad in thefuture to give back to a populationoutside of the United StatesGlobally we are a community thatneeds to support one another Withthe support of my peers we wereable to reshape a small aspect of alarge community
Since I have returned to the
United States I am more aware of my family my neighborhood what I
have obtained and what has beenprovided to me I appreciate andrespect the traditions and beliefs of different cultures Through thisexperience I have gained asensitivity and curiosity to ideasand lifestyles different from myown which I hope to explore
This trip provided me with thestrength to go through personalgrowth as I have become moreindependent and able to adapt to anew environment I learned that Ican be self-reliant while beingglobally sensitive I also learnedhow much people can do for oneanother when working togetherOverall this experience showed methat I can personally make animpact and it gave me the drive tocontinue working with other
communities around the worldPhoto AE Green

When was the last time youdisposed of the unwantedprescriptions drugs cluttering yourcabinet
Thelma Goring cannot rememberthe last time she cleaned out hermedicine cabinet Over the yearsthe 80-year-old Spring Creek Towers resident has accumulatedpills for an assortment of ailmentsso many that she has a section inher cabinet dedicated to expired
and unused prescription
medicationsldquoSometimes I hold onto them
because it might come in handy onedayrdquo said Goring who has oftenconfused her current medicationwith an expired one Goringthought the only way to dispose of the medication was to rinse themdown the sink The retired housingproperty manager did not alwayshave a clutter of pills in herbathroom cabinet she recalls atime when pharmacies would takeback the unused drugs
Pharmacies like CVS have an
environmentally friendlyprescription drug return systemcalled Take Away Residents canpurchase a Take Away packet($399) place all of their unused orunwanted drugs and then return itto the pharmacy that ships them toa pharmaceutical company forproper disposal
The Federal Drug EnforcementAdministration (FDA) holds anationwide event every few monthsto identify locations where peoplehave access to a safe and
convenient means of disposingtheir unwantedunusedprescription drugs
According to the New York CityDepartment of Mental Hygieneprescription drug abuse hasdeveloped into a public safetythreat The department reports thatin 2010 32 of unintentional drugoverdoses involved prescriptionpainkillers Toddlers and evenanimals may ingest prescriptiondrugs that have not been properlydisposed of when simply tossed inthe household trash
Reba Hawkins usually finishesall her medicine as prescribed If
there is any left she flushes themdown the toilet The elementaryschool guidance counselor was notaware however that flushingprescription drugs down the toiletis not a good thing ldquoI didnrsquot realizethat I was pollutingrdquo said Hawkinsafter learning that her disposalmethod contributes to the creationof hazardous waste that pollutesour waters and environment
The United States Environmental

Smoking tobacco is both a physical addiction and a psychologicalhabit The nicotine from cigarettes provides a temporary andaddictive high Eliminating that regular fix of nicotine will cause your body to experience physical withdrawal symptoms andcravings Because of nicotinersquos ldquofeel goodrdquo effect on the brain youmay also have become accustomed to smoking as a way of copingwith stress depression anxiety or even boredom

Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

ReviewHip HOP
REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Holiday dining and celebrationsare a culinary challenge for mostAmericans especially those with
diet-related illnesses While Irsquom not
a diabetic my family medicalhistory provides a cautionary tale The American Diabetes Associationestimates that while almost 24million people in the US havediabetes only 18 million actually
have been diagnosed This meansalmost 6 million people havediabetes and donrsquot know it
Some of the signs and symptomsof Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes areincreased thirst frequent urinationextreme hunger unexplainedweight loss ketones in the urine(ketones are a byproduct of thebreakdown of muscle and fat thathappens when therersquos not enoughinsulin) fatigue blurred visionslow-healing sores mild high bloodpressure and frequent infectionssuch as gum or skin infections andvaginal or bladder infections

Good evening everyone we havesafely landed in Accra GhanaEnjoy your trip As I looked out thewindow I knew that this was nolonger New York City I wassurrounded by darkness theairport sticking out like a lightning
bug in the middle of the nightAll that I could see was a tinybuilding and planes parkedsporadically There were no jetbridges and the pathway to thenext four weeks of my life was atiny staircase The humidity hitme instantly like a pile of bricksand it was dark with only a fewlights twinkling in the boardingarea As we got in the car thepavement soon turned intodirty mahogany roads Thiswas not a big city and far frommy comfort zone
When I was nominated totravel to Ghana with my schoolmany of my friends and familythought I was crazy to betraveling to a developingcountry I listened to what they
were telling me but kept anopen mind My duty here wasto give back to the Ghanaiancommunity In New York
poverty is isolated to certaincommunities In Ghana I sawpoverty was at every angleespecially while I worked at akindergarten Upon arrival thechildren were very excited to seeand interact with us Through thecourse of the twoweek period in thecapital city of Ghana we were able
to remake the exterior design of the school teach the children
math and English skills and teachthem American multipurposegames like Red Light Green Lightand Musical Chairs
Although we began toreshape one aspect of the Ghanaiancommunity the country still needshelp My experience in Ghana hasallowed me to realize that it takesconstant work to stabilize a regionI would love to study abroad in thefuture to give back to a populationoutside of the United StatesGlobally we are a community thatneeds to support one another Withthe support of my peers we wereable to reshape a small aspect of alarge community
Since I have returned to the
United States I am more aware of my family my neighborhood what I
have obtained and what has beenprovided to me I appreciate andrespect the traditions and beliefs of different cultures Through thisexperience I have gained asensitivity and curiosity to ideasand lifestyles different from myown which I hope to explore
This trip provided me with thestrength to go through personalgrowth as I have become moreindependent and able to adapt to anew environment I learned that Ican be self-reliant while beingglobally sensitive I also learnedhow much people can do for oneanother when working togetherOverall this experience showed methat I can personally make animpact and it gave me the drive tocontinue working with other
communities around the worldPhoto AE Green

When was the last time youdisposed of the unwantedprescriptions drugs cluttering yourcabinet
Thelma Goring cannot rememberthe last time she cleaned out hermedicine cabinet Over the yearsthe 80-year-old Spring Creek Towers resident has accumulatedpills for an assortment of ailmentsso many that she has a section inher cabinet dedicated to expired
and unused prescription
medicationsldquoSometimes I hold onto them
because it might come in handy onedayrdquo said Goring who has oftenconfused her current medicationwith an expired one Goringthought the only way to dispose of the medication was to rinse themdown the sink The retired housingproperty manager did not alwayshave a clutter of pills in herbathroom cabinet she recalls atime when pharmacies would takeback the unused drugs
Pharmacies like CVS have an
environmentally friendlyprescription drug return systemcalled Take Away Residents canpurchase a Take Away packet($399) place all of their unused orunwanted drugs and then return itto the pharmacy that ships them toa pharmaceutical company forproper disposal
The Federal Drug EnforcementAdministration (FDA) holds anationwide event every few monthsto identify locations where peoplehave access to a safe and
convenient means of disposingtheir unwantedunusedprescription drugs
According to the New York CityDepartment of Mental Hygieneprescription drug abuse hasdeveloped into a public safetythreat The department reports thatin 2010 32 of unintentional drugoverdoses involved prescriptionpainkillers Toddlers and evenanimals may ingest prescriptiondrugs that have not been properlydisposed of when simply tossed inthe household trash
Reba Hawkins usually finishesall her medicine as prescribed If
there is any left she flushes themdown the toilet The elementaryschool guidance counselor was notaware however that flushingprescription drugs down the toiletis not a good thing ldquoI didnrsquot realizethat I was pollutingrdquo said Hawkinsafter learning that her disposalmethod contributes to the creationof hazardous waste that pollutesour waters and environment

Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

ReviewHip HOP
REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Good evening everyone we havesafely landed in Accra GhanaEnjoy your trip As I looked out thewindow I knew that this was nolonger New York City I wassurrounded by darkness theairport sticking out like a lightning
bug in the middle of the nightAll that I could see was a tinybuilding and planes parkedsporadically There were no jetbridges and the pathway to thenext four weeks of my life was atiny staircase The humidity hitme instantly like a pile of bricksand it was dark with only a fewlights twinkling in the boardingarea As we got in the car thepavement soon turned intodirty mahogany roads Thiswas not a big city and far frommy comfort zone
When I was nominated totravel to Ghana with my schoolmany of my friends and familythought I was crazy to betraveling to a developingcountry I listened to what they
were telling me but kept anopen mind My duty here wasto give back to the Ghanaiancommunity In New York
poverty is isolated to certaincommunities In Ghana I sawpoverty was at every angleespecially while I worked at akindergarten Upon arrival thechildren were very excited to seeand interact with us Through thecourse of the twoweek period in thecapital city of Ghana we were able
to remake the exterior design of the school teach the children
math and English skills and teachthem American multipurposegames like Red Light Green Lightand Musical Chairs
Although we began toreshape one aspect of the Ghanaiancommunity the country still needshelp My experience in Ghana hasallowed me to realize that it takesconstant work to stabilize a regionI would love to study abroad in thefuture to give back to a populationoutside of the United StatesGlobally we are a community thatneeds to support one another Withthe support of my peers we wereable to reshape a small aspect of alarge community
Since I have returned to the
United States I am more aware of my family my neighborhood what I
have obtained and what has beenprovided to me I appreciate andrespect the traditions and beliefs of different cultures Through thisexperience I have gained asensitivity and curiosity to ideasand lifestyles different from myown which I hope to explore
This trip provided me with thestrength to go through personalgrowth as I have become moreindependent and able to adapt to anew environment I learned that Ican be self-reliant while beingglobally sensitive I also learnedhow much people can do for oneanother when working togetherOverall this experience showed methat I can personally make animpact and it gave me the drive tocontinue working with other
communities around the worldPhoto AE Green

medicationsldquoSometimes I hold onto them
because it might come in handy onedayrdquo said Goring who has oftenconfused her current medicationwith an expired one Goringthought the only way to dispose of the medication was to rinse themdown the sink The retired housingproperty manager did not alwayshave a clutter of pills in herbathroom cabinet she recalls atime when pharmacies would takeback the unused drugs
Pharmacies like CVS have an
environmentally friendlyprescription drug return systemcalled Take Away Residents canpurchase a Take Away packet($399) place all of their unused orunwanted drugs and then return itto the pharmacy that ships them toa pharmaceutical company forproper disposal
The Federal Drug EnforcementAdministration (FDA) holds anationwide event every few monthsto identify locations where peoplehave access to a safe and
convenient means of disposingtheir unwantedunusedprescription drugs
According to the New York CityDepartment of Mental Hygieneprescription drug abuse hasdeveloped into a public safetythreat The department reports thatin 2010 32 of unintentional drugoverdoses involved prescriptionpainkillers Toddlers and evenanimals may ingest prescriptiondrugs that have not been properlydisposed of when simply tossed inthe household trash
Reba Hawkins usually finishesall her medicine as prescribed If
there is any left she flushes themdown the toilet The elementaryschool guidance counselor was notaware however that flushingprescription drugs down the toiletis not a good thing ldquoI didnrsquot realizethat I was pollutingrdquo said Hawkinsafter learning that her disposalmethod contributes to the creationof hazardous waste that pollutesour waters and environment

Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

From the Book Shelf Fangirl By Rainbow Rowell (St Martinrsquos Griffin)
ReviewHip HOP
REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Pharmacies like CVS have an
environmentally friendlyprescription drug return systemcalled Take Away Residents canpurchase a Take Away packet($399) place all of their unused orunwanted drugs and then return itto the pharmacy that ships them toa pharmaceutical company forproper disposal
The Federal Drug EnforcementAdministration (FDA) holds anationwide event every few monthsto identify locations where peoplehave access to a safe and

Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Holiday dining and celebrationsare a culinary challenge for mostAmericans especially those with
diet-related illnesses While Irsquom not
a diabetic my family medicalhistory provides a cautionary tale The American Diabetes Associationestimates that while almost 24million people in the US havediabetes only 18 million actually
have been diagnosed This meansalmost 6 million people havediabetes and donrsquot know it
Some of the signs and symptomsof Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes areincreased thirst frequent urinationextreme hunger unexplainedweight loss ketones in the urine(ketones are a byproduct of thebreakdown of muscle and fat thathappens when therersquos not enoughinsulin) fatigue blurred visionslow-healing sores mild high bloodpressure and frequent infectionssuch as gum or skin infections andvaginal or bladder infections

BY GEORGE W GAFFNEY
Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

Big Gaff The MoviesBig Gaff The Movies
From the Book Shelf Fangirl By Rainbow Rowell (St Martinrsquos Griffin)
ReviewHip HOP
REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

ReviewHip HOP
REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Holiday dining and celebrationsare a culinary challenge for mostAmericans especially those with
diet-related illnesses While Irsquom not
a diabetic my family medicalhistory provides a cautionary tale The American Diabetes Associationestimates that while almost 24million people in the US havediabetes only 18 million actually
have been diagnosed This meansalmost 6 million people havediabetes and donrsquot know it
Some of the signs and symptomsof Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes areincreased thirst frequent urinationextreme hunger unexplainedweight loss ketones in the urine(ketones are a byproduct of thebreakdown of muscle and fat thathappens when therersquos not enoughinsulin) fatigue blurred visionslow-healing sores mild high bloodpressure and frequent infectionssuch as gum or skin infections andvaginal or bladder infections

Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

ReviewHip HOP
REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

that addresses the health anddietary needs of pre-diabetics juvenile diabetes Type 1 and Type2 diabetics women with gestationaldiabetes related to pregnancythose with diabetic-relatedcomplications or anyone seeking toembrace a healthier diet andlifestyle The recipes also aresatisfying for non-diabetics and Iuse them when entertaining familyand friends
Holiday dining and celebrationsare a culinary challenge for mostAmericans especially those with
diet-related illnesses While Irsquom not
a diabetic my family medicalhistory provides a cautionary tale The American Diabetes Associationestimates that while almost 24million people in the US havediabetes only 18 million actually
have been diagnosed This meansalmost 6 million people havediabetes and donrsquot know it
Some of the signs and symptomsof Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes areincreased thirst frequent urinationextreme hunger unexplainedweight loss ketones in the urine(ketones are a byproduct of thebreakdown of muscle and fat thathappens when therersquos not enoughinsulin) fatigue blurred visionslow-healing sores mild high bloodpressure and frequent infectionssuch as gum or skin infections andvaginal or bladder infections

BY GEORGE W GAFFNEY
Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

Big Gaff The MoviesBig Gaff The Movies
From the Book Shelf Fangirl By Rainbow Rowell (St Martinrsquos Griffin)
ReviewHip HOP
REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

Big Gaff The MoviesBig Gaff The Movies
From the Book Shelf Fangirl By Rainbow Rowell (St Martinrsquos Griffin)
ReviewHip HOP
REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Let me start bysaying this is the frontrunner for the 2013Academy Award as bestpicture and Tom Hankswill be nominated as
best actor Gee I guess you could stopreading now I have told you the bottomline Captain Phillips the film just makesgood decisions after good decisions
Except for Hanks they donrsquot have anactor in the film you can name or ever sawbefore - this makes you accept thecharacters as real people and not
Hollywood personalities playing real people The Somali pirates are actually Somalicitizens (but not actors or criminals )
When you know the ending because thestory is fact based and yet you worry
about each step the characters make that is the sign of an outstandingproduction
Credit must be given to the writersand director Paul Greengrass whenthey can make the audience care andeven become emotionally involved withthe villains (pirates) in the story It is arare film that has you hoping that boththe good guys and the ldquobad guysrdquosurvive this ordeal Somali piratecaptain Barkhad Abdi will be in themix for best supporting actor
One last outstanding feature of thisfilm is its ability to have you physicallyand emotionally share the stress thatthis hostage situation places on every
member of the cast I donrsquot recall one joke one moment that the movieallowed in the usual ldquocomic reliefrdquo - thisis a hardcore emotional roller-coasterand you will need time to recover fromthis film

ReviewHip HOP
REVIEWED BY EALISH WADDELL
Cath is more than a little anxious about starting college Itrsquos hard livingapart from her twin sister Wren for the first time ever and even harderwhen Wren seems so excited about it Everyone around Cath seems to beconfident and capable from her intimidating roommate to all the fellow
English majors whose cool sophistication she feels hard-pressed toemulate
So Cath retreats to the safe haven of her imagination Shersquos an ardentdevotee of the Simon Snow book and movie series (a thinly veiled riff onHarry Potter) and over the past few years her fanfiction set in that worldhas amassed an avid following of its own But as school assignments andoutside stresses begin to crowd her time even that beloved escape beginsto feel like yet another hungry maw demanding constant attention
Meanwhile academic setbacks are making her question if shersquos on the
right track She worries about Wren whose drinking binges are reachinga troubling frequency She worries about her dad whose bipolartendencies she fears will take over now that hersquos on his own And sheworries about Levi her roommatersquos boyfriend whose reassuringfriendliness and heart-twisting smile is becoming more precious to herthan she can admit
Cath is a great character just as introverted awkward and nerdy as sheis intelligent and witty more used to navigating imagined worlds thanactual ones Refreshingly these traits are not derided and suppressed butrefined and even celebrated over the course of this coming-of-age tale YesCath will come to realize that real life can hold its own magic mdash butreassuringly she doesnrsquot gain this at the expense of her imaginaryadventures but rather by learning to find the right balance of both

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils

Holiday dining and celebrationsare a culinary challenge for mostAmericans especially those with
diet-related illnesses While Irsquom not
a diabetic my family medicalhistory provides a cautionary tale The American Diabetes Associationestimates that while almost 24million people in the US havediabetes only 18 million actually
have been diagnosed This meansalmost 6 million people havediabetes and donrsquot know it
Some of the signs and symptomsof Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes areincreased thirst frequent urinationextreme hunger unexplainedweight loss ketones in the urine(ketones are a byproduct of thebreakdown of muscle and fat thathappens when therersquos not enoughinsulin) fatigue blurred visionslow-healing sores mild high bloodpressure and frequent infectionssuch as gum or skin infections andvaginal or bladder infections

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo
ldquoAs global citizens we have notlearned how to equitably distributevital resources like food and water
resources are trending toward acrisis of the futurerdquo adds Green ldquosothere are deep ethical concernsabout devoting croplands toessential oils destined for use incandles bath oils perfumes or
lavish massage and spa purposesrdquoGreen also warns that manyessential oils are not produced fromsustainable sources ldquoSome speciesare at risk particularly thoseoccupying marginal habitats suchas dwindling tropical forestsrdquo shereports adding that the poverty-stricken in developing countries willharvest and sell whatever they canin order to put food on their owntables
Cropwatch a non-profit thatkeeps tabs on the naturalaromatics industry maintains a listof wild species threatened by thefast-growing essential oil trade Of
particular concern are essential oils
derived from rosewood sandal-wood amyris thyme cedarwood jatamansi gentian wormwood andcinnamon among others as theymay well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvestedwild plant stocks
Also some essential oils must betreated as hazardous if spilled andshould be kept out of sewers andlocal waterways Mountain RoseHerbs a leading retailer of essentialoils reports that if its tea tree oilspills it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in acontainer before disposal at ahazardous waste collection siteSuch information is included on thecompanyrsquos Material Safety DataSheet for every essential oil andincludes information about flam-mability and chemical compositionConsumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essentialoils they might likemdashMountainRose will supply them to customersby requestmdashto make sure they areusing (and disposing of) themcorrectly

Dear EarthTalk Whatrsquos theskinny on essential oils I lovethem but a friend told me theyare no good for theenvironmentmdash Mary M via e-mail
Essential oils are more popularthan ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as infragrances and flavorings for foodand drinks Typically produced byharvesting and distilling largeamounts of various types of plantmatter essential oils are in many
cases all-natural and can take the
place of synthetic chemicals inmany consumer applications Butsome wonder whether ourfascination with essential oils is sogood for the planet now that theirpopularity has turned them into bigbusiness
ldquoIt often takes hundreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essential oilrdquo reportsaromatherapist and author MindyGreen of GreenScentsationscomShe adds that it takes 50-60pounds of eucalyptus to produceone pound of eucalyptus oil 200-250 pounds of lavender for onepound of lavender oil 2000pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as many as 10000pounds of rose blossoms for onepound of rose oil Production of these source crops takes place allover the world and is oftenorganized by large multinationalcorporations with little regard forlocal economies or ecosystems
ldquoGrowing the substantialquantities of plant material neededto produce essential oils results in amonoculture style of farming withlarge swaths of land dedicated to asingle speciesrdquo says Green ldquoThesesystems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechaniza-tion and irrigation is frequentlyused for optimal oil production of the plantsrdquo

Holiday dining and celebrationsare a culinary challenge for mostAmericans especially those with
diet-related illnesses While Irsquom not
a diabetic my family medicalhistory provides a cautionary tale The American Diabetes Associationestimates that while almost 24million people in the US havediabetes only 18 million actually
have been diagnosed This meansalmost 6 million people havediabetes and donrsquot know it
Some of the signs and symptomsof Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes areincreased thirst frequent urinationextreme hunger unexplainedweight loss ketones in the urine(ketones are a byproduct of thebreakdown of muscle and fat thathappens when therersquos not enoughinsulin) fatigue blurred visionslow-healing sores mild high bloodpressure and frequent infectionssuch as gum or skin infections andvaginal or bladder infections
