My Health and the Health of the Planet: Small Changes with Big Results Individual choice is a vote for your own health as well as the health of the planet. While we may wait years to get lawmakers to agree on what is best for the health of Americans and the health of the planet, you can start the process of change with the decisions you make at home. Real change may be a bottom-up venture. When Americans make decisions that affect economics, lawmakers and corporations will have to listen. Here are changes you can begin to adopt into your own lifestyle. Skip the plastic. Packaging in the form of plastic waste increases our non-biodegradable burden and loads landfills. The plastic then leaches into the environment exposing...

Despite these fears, the reality is 90% of women will never get this diagnosis. Breast Cancer Awareness month was established in 1985 by...
