The fear that more dangerous soil pollutionl.

I take part in a group of watching the process of the accidents in the Fukusima nuclear power plant,by citizens.

We've had further anxiety about  huge pollution with radioactive materials being expanded.

I've feared that the pollution with radioactive materials is expanded not only in all of Japan but also in the all of the world.

On June 24th, as I've already reported, Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries decided to allow the traders of fertilizer to sell  fertilizers made of refuse included radioactive materials.

Our Group found the huge problems in this program and in the process that ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries decided it.

The most dangerous problem we think is that Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries didn't deal with Strontium & Plutonium at all.

The House of atomic energy preservation has reported on June 3rd that Strontium & Plutonium have been released in the air.

 Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology also have already reported that Strontium & Plutonium have been detected in Saigo village which is in between 80km and 90km far from Fukusima nuclear power plant.

However, Ministrey of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries have no concern about these strong and danderous matters.

Ministrey of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries fail to consider not only this point, but also they don't have knowledge how Strontium & Plutonium affect our health. They deal with only Cesium137 because Cesium was detected amount of 50,000 becquerel in 2500 times much more than Strontium,in the case of Saigo village.

Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology have reported another case of a result in Otama village which is in between 60km and  70km far from Fukusima plant.

Can we believe our security of eating?

We fear the Internal radiation exposure with not only Cesium & Iodin but also much more strong materials,like Strontium & Plutonium. 

This is one of the most serious environmental destruction, one of the most criminal marder,I think.

We could know these problems, of course others,through a coverage with phone.

1. The ministry made this program because those who manage refuse of the soil want to trade.

2. Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries decided to set the tolerable level of radioactive materials included in refuse of which fertilizers is made, based on the standard level in foods which is set by Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.Ministrey of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries decided on the standard level on the premise that these fertilizers is used the soil including the radioactive materials level before the nuclear power plant accidents happened.

3. Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries doesn't have knowledge of each radioactive material having effects on our health. Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries only convert each radioactive material into quantity of each effective radiant rays.

4. Fertilizer which is made of refuse soil including radioactive materials is delivered in the market,and some of the case,

 it must be used in parks and local autonomies.

I've noticed that radioactive materials are increasing in the air, the water and the soil because of remaining Fukusima nuclear power plant without sealing off. So, the radioactive materials are going to accumulate in not only the soil but also the refuse.

I suspect that Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries does not consider the risk of radioactive materials being concentrated by living bodies.

And that Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries is going to recommend Japanese foods for the registration of World heritage. It seems to me horrible, extremely dangerous.

Would you like to tell your opinions?

We're taking some actions to stop this program,but the program has started. We must make the Ministry stop applying the program. 

Why You Need to Use Bidets Instead of Toilet Tissues

So you are one of those people who worry about global warming and carbon footprints you would leave. You recycle and have installed solar lights in your garden besides staying away from plastic bags. But have you ever thought about the trees that have to be cut to make tons of toilet paper you flush down the toilet every year? In fact, millions of people use bidets every day as they know that toilet paper is not only damaging for planet but also less hygienic.

Bidetshave been around for centuries in Europe and rest of the world where people realise that water is a better cleaning agent than paper. Wiping with paper can leave traces of filth on your back side but gushing water can clean it absolutely. Earlier bidets used to be separate fixtures next to the toilet seats but now lots of people prefer to get them attached to their existing toilet. Bidets offer quite a number of options to choose from including a wide range of designs and extra luxuries. If you live in colder terrain, you can easily choose an electric bidet as it provides warm water for better cleaning and comfort.

Even certain models of non-electric bidets allow switching between two water sources. So you can attach the hose to your water heater that heats water for your shower.  Heated seats, pulsating streams, temperature adjustment for washing stream and integrated dryer options available in the market makes selecting a bidet difficult. Now you can bid toilet papers goodbye forever and say hello to good personal hygiene with lots of pampering in restroom.  

Bidetsnot only aid in good personal hygiene but also improves your health by cutting down on infection. Water has been recognised world over as the best agent for cleaning then why not use it for cleaning one of the most sensitive parts of the body? Fresh running water from bidets soothes and gentle removes germs and bacteria from your posterior without irritating it the way rough and abrasive tissue paper does.

 www.basicbidet.comis a great place to find a wide variety of bidets at one place. No matter what your requirement or budget is, you are sure to find just the right bidet to suit all your needs. To find the wide variety of latest and affordable bidets, logon to www.basicbidet.com

Vegetarianism and the pH miracle diet

The pH miracle diet is a program for restoring balance in the body by eating alkaline foods. The body's cells are slightly alkaline and by eating alkalizing foods you can support your body's natural function. In addition to eating alkalizing foods, Dr. Robert Young, the creator of the diet, also recommends avoiding acidifying foods like meat, wheat and dairy. Those that want better health, according to Dr. Young, should become vegetarians. The standard American diet certainly isn抰 alkalizing and definitely isn't vegetarian. Animal protein is a mainstay of most people's diets. However, the necessity for animal protein is a not. There is a prevailing belief in out society that consuming a lot of protein encourages health and especially physical fitness. Men especially are expected to eat massive quantities of meat in order to have strength and vitality. This myth has prevailed as far back in history as many can remember. In the beginning of the twentieth century, scientists began to believe that consuming meat equaled physical strength, especially in the world of sports. This specific belief, the link between sports and protein, has been one of the driving forces behind meat consumption in the last 100 years. In actuality, the body's need for protein is actually a lot less than many people think. There are plenty of sources for vegetarian protein that are alkalizing, and acceptable on the ph Miracle diet. But why does the program specifically forbid animal protein? Animal protein, like meats, eggs and dairy products all have acidifying effects on the body. These effects become even more prevalent when you consume non-organic meats. Consuming conventionally processed meats can expose you to hormones, drugs and other chemicals that have been given to the animals before they were killed. There are no conclusive studies about the safety of hormones, but there are perceived risks. Animals are routinely given antibiotics as well, which will increase your consumption of antibiotics and will reduce helpful bacteria in your body. The reduction of these helpful bacteria will allow more metabolic acid to accumulate in your system, and create disastrous health effects. The elements in meat that are good for you (protein, vitamins and minerals) can be obtained from vegetarian sources without all of the dangers. Just one cup of tofu, an alkalizing protein source, has 20 grams of protein. The average man or women needs less than 40 grams per day. Protein needs can easily be met without eating acidifying meat. Making the switch to vegetarianism is more of mental struggle than a physical one. The body runs much more efficiently without the acidifying presence of animal protein. Eating meat is a habit and the benefits of eating it are a culturally propagated myth. There is no physical need for meat. The most difficult part of eliminating it from your diet will be opening your eyes to the wide variety of new foods that can replace meat. When you follow the pH miracle diet, you抣l notice that Dr. Young recommends a balance of 70% alkaline foods and 30% acid foods. This means that there is some leeway for eating foods on the acidic list. Although it may be tempting to eat animal protein as part of this 30%, your body will be in better balance if you choose something that is just slightly acidic, like eggs, oats or pasta, instead of highly acidic meats. Becoming a vegetarian on the pH miracle diet is certainly your choice. But you owe it to your health to start reducing the amount of animal protein in your diet.

150,000 (and counting) want to Change Chevron!

hanks to a big push from Avaaz yesterday, there are now over 150,000 people who have signed a petition telling Chevron’s new CEO John Watson to clean up the oil giant’s toxic legacy in Ecuador, and around the globe.

It is undeniable that the world wants to change Chevron. People from all over the globe are signing this petition, people young and old, from so many backgrounds. We’ve had celebrities, musicians, investors, and Chevron employees standing up and demanding change from one of the largest corporations on the planet.

As the new leader of the 3rd largest oil company in the world, CEO John Watson can right the wrongs of his predecessors and transform his company into one that cares.

150,000+ are saying “Enough is enough. Energy shouldn’t cost lives.”

From Ecuador to Richmond,CA to Burma and everywhere the oil giant operates in-between they leave a trail of environmental devastation, human rights abuses, and a legacy of health problems.

150,000+ say ENOUGH to Big Oil destroying our environment and the health of our communities.

Chevron, and their Big Oil cohorts, spend hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbyists and political contributions to buy off politicians and destroy policies that would be good for our climate and our future.

150,000+ people say ENOUGH to Chevron’s control of our government and our democracy.

To truly change Chevron and the oil industry, we are going to need to be 150,000 x stronger and louder and more powerful than we ever have been before. Our communities, our climate, our planet, and our future depend on it.

You in?

How to Beat the Flu Season

With flu season upon us, I know many moms are cringing at the prospect of sick kids. I know I am.

I heard some great information from a medical professional on how to survive the flu season and I wanted to pass it  along. So, want to stay as well as possible this flu season? Try vitamin C. The recommendation we got was to stick with the powder form of vitamin C (less sugar for you or your little one) which you can then add to water or juice. You can’t really taste it, so you don’t even know you are taking vitamins – perfect if you have a little one who hates vitamins or if you are one of those people who can’t stand the taste of vitamins.

It is really important to stick to the recommended dosages, so you should talk to your doctor before starting any new regiment like this. This is especially true if you are giving any vitamins to a child.  As always, this site is not dispensing medical advice, so please check with your doctor before making any changes.

The amazing thing about vitamin C is that our body uses it to fight off infection, so if you are sick or getting sick (or just plain trying not to get sick) then taking a little vitamin C helps give your body the fighting chance it deserves to kick out the bacteria or viruses that are attacking it. 

Good luck!

Join the International Day of Peace

 

I am a member of the Global Coherence Initiative which is a science-based initiative to unite millions of people in heart-focused care and intention to shift global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.

The Global Coherence Initiative is designed to help individuals and groups work together, synchronistically and strategically to increase the impact of their efforts to create positive global change.

Together we will:

1) Increase personal coherence for the benefit of ourselves and the planet
2) Help shift the planetary consciousness baseline from self-centeredness to wholeness care
3) Increase connection and social harmony
4) Empower our ability to navigate through global changes with less stress and more ease
5) Empower environmental responsibility and stewardship of the planet

This project has been initiated because millions of people sense that this is an extraordinary time; that a paradigm shift of human consciousness is now under way; that we are at the crossroads of change and must move toward the healing of ourselves and our planet. Many people are feeling a strong desire to help change our present and future conditions and are looking for ways to use their heart, spirit-aligned wisdom and care to make a meaningful difference.

The Global Coherence Initiative is one of many care and compassion initiatives taking place on the planet. Each year, an increasing number of groups and online communities are radiating compassion and care to the planet in these times of need. We and others feel that these collective heart-based initiatives, rather than being a trend, represent the proactive consciousness platform of the future, in which individuals and communities take responsibility for shaping a new world by increasing love, care and compassion for the global whole.

I recently volunteered to participate in a 6-month GCI Interconnectedness Study on the relationship between human consciousness, Earth’s energetic activity and other planetary factors. (I have a lot of free time on my hands these days, lol) Anyway, I do receive e-mail alerts and I thought I would pass this one on to the members of this community. This alert is about the upcoming International Day of Peace.

Envisioning the Peaceful World You Want to Live In
"For the International Day of Peace, September 21, align with the spirit of all who are sending prayers, meditations and positive intentions for world peace."

Creation starts with thought, desire and imagination….the same as desiring a new house, job, etc. Thoughts, desires and imagination create an energetic blueprint for what we want; then taking action steps towards our goal helps to create the building blocks for intentions to manifest.

In honor of International Peace Day, let’s take five minutes a day (or what’s convenient for you) to envision the world as we would want it to be: A world that respects individual human rights and authentic communication, has balanced, conscious leadership and compassionate governing systems worldwide, values the preservation of resources, has love and respect for animals and environmental balance. A world that provides food, pure water, shelter and world peace for all. Create your own additions and remember to enrich your vision with genuine feelings from your heart’s desire so as to give it life. Close with a moment of gratitude and the request that whatever manifests only be the highest best for the whole."  

UPDATE:  HeartMath in honor of International Peace Day, Sept. 21st, created a beautiful video called At the Heart of Peace. You can watch it HERE.

POVERTY - Addressing the Causes

Poverty is an effect, to solve a problem one must address the "cause."

To truly address poverty we need to recognize that it is the result of all the other inter-dependent sectors of life, from education to health care, access to technology and natural resources, most importantly what Human Rights you have.

There are many kinds of poverty, the causes of which vary depending on where you're looking, a rich country or a poor county. 

As we enter the Information Age, humanity has real potential to address the "causes of poverty" in both rich and poor countries alike. The technological fixes available are the easy part, the hard part is having a cooperative spirit with greater respect for the Human Rights of a diverse humanity, if we can achieve that we will succeed in all that follows.
In poorer countries practical coordinated action needs to be taken to;
  • Improve supplies of clean water, to reduce time spent gathering often foul water and reduce illness caused by foul water supplies.
  • Improve the supply of accessible, affordable health care information and services, to reduce the vulnerability to disease of children and the elderly especially.
  • Improve training and equipment of farmers in poor countries related to agriculture and natural resource management, include help with seeds and expertise from groups like ECHO.
  • Increase access to education in combination with Information Age technology such as computers, ICT Systems, and cell phones via communty Access Points.
  • Relieve countries of the "Interest" charged on their debt, and reduce debt.
  • Help governments to outside help sustainable development help for non-governmental organizations, non-profits, and health missionaries.

In richer countries coordinated action should be taken to;

  • Improve the quality of educational opportunities and incentives with emphasis on the poor.
  • Increase diplomacy, international cooperation, and sustainable trade options to decrease necessity of future growing military expenditure. Make friends of foes, now the world is so interdependent we must cooperate; as individuals we do it all the time, now our governments acting as our collective voice needs to pursue options that lead to greater Peace. 
  • Improve work training and apprenticeship incentives for the poor to focus on new Information Age opportunities. Using the Internet an individual can now get a job with someone else or work for themselves by offering their knowledge, art, music, and time. The industrial age is coming to a close, we need to educate for the new world because the factory jobs in places like Detroit are not coming back; we need to train for the present and future.
  • Increase the use of local exchange systems in communities to increase recycling, keep more wealth in the local economy for it's development, and stregthen community ties between the living people creating or growing available goods.

In this article I will provide useful information for you to lose fat tummy.

 The first thing you want to do when you decide to get started on your healthy eating plan to lose tummy fat is throw out all the junk food you have in your house. I know that this is wasting but it has been proven that when you are stressed this is the exact type of food that you will crave. Do not leave it there and have that temptation because when you are stressed or at your weakest point you will end up eating it so just throw it out. Lose Belly Fat
