In Search of a Natural Deodorant
I used to use conventional deodorant, but I was finding that each year, my brand (Lady Speed Stick) was ruining its scents by making them stronger and potent to the point of overwhelm. What happened to a simple baby powder smell? Yeesh. I was also getting concerned over the aluminum and other bad things, so I decided to give Tom’s of Maine deodorant a try.
I had tried Tom’s of Maine years ago and it was pretty useless. Now, however, they have added “hops” to the mix (yes, the stuff used in beer production). Apparently, this eats up bacteria, which is what makes your armpits smell.
Natural deodorants do not stop perspiration, so you have to be aware of that, but that’s a good thing. Blocking perspiration is probably not a good thing (some people think it may cause cancer)…because your toxic lymph isn’t allowed to sweat out. (more…)
I love technology but I am also quite aware of the negative impact it can have on the environment. Still, I think it's technology that has the most potential to save us. Here you'll find articles on the green tech aka clean tech, such as alternative fuel, green computing, and e-cycling. You'll also hear about the "green" and the "tech" - from green household cleaners to why Linux is the progressive operating system of choice.
