1.    “It's also a valuable reminder that requesting natural or naturally-derived ingredients in place of synthetics may result in them coming from unexpected places.”
    (7 gross ingredients found in cosmetics)
    Any surprises from this article?

I was not totally surprised by this article as I was already under the assumption that terrible ingredients were in there.  I had a classmate whos proffession was cosmetology, and she would talk abotu how you really need to read the ingredients of make up because most are just filled with very un-natural products.








2.     Do you expect our focus on reducing our carbon footprint will be changed now?

I sure hope so!  I was actually just looking at before/after pics on the internet of major cities with as much as 50% decrease in smog.  The waters are cleaner, the air is cleaner, so I would hope that this is a good little wake up call to the whole world.  But do i expect that this will be a focus when things start goingback to normal, no I don't.  People will just want to get back to what they were doing.









3.     “Cultured Meat” – yummm! – what is your take?


Well, there will have to some sunstitute happening at some point.  If they were smart about it,  they would leak it out little by little, or even start mixing it with real meat, so that over time, we won't even know the change has been made.  I was just reading how 200,000 pigs per day are not being slaughtered,  that up to 1 million per week that will have no use and just be killed because there is no one to take care of them, so, there has to be a balance.
