What counts as paper for recycling? Plastic?
I have a question that will probably have all the experienced greenies cringe, but perhaps you can help. I have recently started recycling and we have a plastic and paper recycler in our area. Now, here's my question: What counts as paper? And what counts as plastic? Is paper ALL paper and cardboard products, including the plastic lined rice milk box? Is plastic ALL plastics, including the packets from the steamed vegetables with food on them? How exacting are the criteria? I would really appreciate the clarification—a question "for dummies" I'm afraid!
I expect that most experienced greenies will be impressed at your initiative! The answer is that each municipality is different so you\'ll need to check with your local sanitation department. There are many items that are recyclable that are not recycled in a particular area (ie NYC only recycles jug and bottle shaped plastics but doesn\'t recycle salad containers, which use a different kind of plastic). Your city government or sanitation department will have a list of what is accepted. You go, girl!

I am concerned about a source that accepts WALMART advertising! I am also concerned about seeking advice from unseen strangers rather than consulting a knowledgeable naturopath, acupuncturist, herbalist,or other person in your own town who can actually examine & treat the child. NO-ONE can make a decision for you without knowing the child.
That said, there ARE some suitable ways of reducing inflammation/irritation & combatting infections without pharmaceuticals/surgeries.
Increasing the intake of PURE water(Optimized Pi water) and decreasing sugar & dairy are a great place to start. Adding top line air purification is another prime strategy.
I, myself, have gone a long list of diagnoses & from 8-10 daily medications down to one for less-than-daily use.....with alternative measures. The fewer pharmaceuticals, the better I feel.

Laura,
If your daughter has had lots of antibiotics, she needs some probiotics to replace the good gut bacteria. Antibiotics can't discriminate and kill the good and bad. Please read "What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Childhood Vaccines" by Dr. Stephanie Dave, "Evidence of Harm" by David Kirby and "A Shot in the Dark" by Barbara Loe-Fisher. Also, many people don't know that childhood vaccines still contain thimerosal (a preservative of 50% mercury, a known neurotoxin) and aluminum among many other nasty things (aborted human fetal tissue, monkey cells, formaldehyde, etc.) FWIW mercury and other things in vaccines play a significant role in the current/ongoing autism "epidemic". Find a mercury-free dentist so your daughter doesn't get any mercury amalgam dental fillings implanted in her head.
Dairy products contribute to ear infections, try taking her off dairy for a while and see if it makes a difference. Pacific brand lowfat vanilla almond mylk is tasty. We use it in baked goods and on cereal. I even drink some with a little Diamond brand chocolate almond mylk mixed in.

I also wonder what Wal-Mart ads are doing on this site. Please watch Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Prices. http://www.walmartmovie.com/

Annie, Annie, Annie.
I like your articles and newsletter. That being said, I'm sorry to say this. Not to be rude, but whatever is Walmart doing on your site? If you want your philosophy to be consistent, they gotta go. If you don't know why, please do some research as to their practices and how they negatively affect people all over the world. I'll leave it at that.
Keep on keepin' on -
