Now a days people are looking for a way to make everyday meals healthier. It is nice to know that there are some companies that have had the same mantra for over thirty years. Bob's Red Mill has been a leader in bringing good people "natural foods in the natural way". This mill outside of Portland Organ is a stone grinding miller of whole grains. Up there in the north west Bob and his family have been the leader in whole grain products, from flours and hot cereals to baking mixes and grains. From rolled oats and Muesli to flax seed and wheat germ. Bobs ha
s everything, beans, soup and bread mixes, even baking soda. They have more then 400 products that are made from raw ingredients that are sourced from farmers throughout the United States and Canada. Not only do they have 50 different certified organic products, they also have a line of certified gluten free products. Then on top of that all of their products are certified Kosher by a Rabbi. The letters GMO have been out of the papers lately, but Genetically Modified Organism's are not real food. The Red Mills products come from identity preserved seeds. Bob's can not say the 
same for it neighbors and because of wind drift cross pollination their products don't carry a GMO-free label. So all this means that Bob uses real seed to make real food the way nature intended. Now in their search to "provide our customers with something that is fully nutritious and delightful to eat,” they have brought out two Hemp products. Bob's Hulled Hemp Seed and Hemp Protein Powder are made from “One of nature’s most perfect foods.” How is Hemp good for you? Well, our bodies use proteins called Amino acids. These Amino acids are important to muscle tissue and a healthy immune system. All in all hemp has twenty known Amino Acids, ten that our bodies cannot produce by themselves. Like m
ost of Bob's products these can be added to smoothies and sprinkled over cereal, or used in baking. No need to go far to find Bob's meals and cereals. They are carried in many health food stores and groceries. One can also put in a order online. They internationally ship UPS or in the US through the postal service. One can even ship some whole grains to military addresses out of the US. If you want to start to eat better with less toxins in your everyday diet then try Bob's Red Mills natural foods.

Everyone that lives in the 20Th century is surrounded by computers and electronics. You, or a loved one probably have one or two electronic devices in your pocket right now. These innovations have sprung up around every Conner. They make our lives faster and are made with the thought of making our lives easier. But what do you do when one breaks or becomes obsolete. Unlike the electronics of yesterday, which people took in to be repaired, (like vacuums, radios, and toasters) the electronics of today usually just get replaced. Most of these new gadgets are made of bad plastics and hazardous materials, including lead, cadmium, and mercury. LTD Screens have a chemical that loves to seep into ground water.

They even have a pick up service for large TVs and appliances. Bust Buy have a $10 dollar fee for somethings but give you a gift card for $10 dollars to off set the cost. Most small stuff like monitors, phones, Small TVs and CD/DVD players can just be dropped off. Every U.S. Store will have a kiosks set up right inside the door where they take even the small stuff like inkjet cartridges and batteries. Best Buy is not the only store getting into the green spirit, many stores have recycling programs just give them a call before you go in to shop. If they don't have anything in place maybe mention it to a manager or who ever picks up the phone that they should start helping their costumers recycle properly or they might see a drop in business.

In the summer the beach is one of the best spots to "beat the heat." Lots of people collect sea shells to remember the trip. Why not show off you're memories in the bathroom or kitchen? This is a great way to recycle glass jars. When at the store buy condiments in glass jars, this is better for you and the environment. Then rinse the jars for some time to get the label off, once there clean you fill them with shells, sea glass, buttons. Anything collected at a day at the beach. Then add water so the colors stand out more. Be sure to put a little label and date on each jar, or it can get confusing. In a window this is best displayed, this lets the sunlight shine through the glass..jpg)
