Until recently, we’ve been asked to choose between the economy and the environment. Now we’re realizing that the two are closely linked, and that our continued prosperity depends on how well we take care of the natural systems that sustain life—clean air, water, food and an overall healthy environment.

lthough the worst impacts of climate change are still decades away, experts say it’s already a costly problem. In 2012, U.S. taxpayers spent nearly $100 billion— approximately $1,100 apiece—to cover crop losses, fl ooding, wildfi res and other climate-related disasters, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. That’s more than America spent last year on education or transportation.


As you get older, you may need less sleep;


But you still need QUALITY SLEEP.


So you think that you may have sleep apnea. Perhaps your wife says you snore a lot and sometimes it scares her when you just stop breathing. Maybe you wake up gasping for air with your heart racing. Do you ever lie in bed and toss and turn without being able to go to sleep despite the fact that you are exhausted? Sleep disorders affect millions of people and mostly go undiagnosed.


Without a diagnosis, they can still ruin your sleep and leave you tired, unhealthy and cranky. Without a diagnosis, you can’t get drugs or a CPAP machine. You can’t get surgery or prostheses.


But you can get some very safe & simple herbal products that will solve your problems. Don’t “wonder if it will work…” TRY IT AND FIND OUT.


Sleep Apnea Relief was designed by a sleep apnea sufferer…Me.


I use it every night and I have for more than 8 years. I haven’t worn a CPAP or had a sleepless night since. I also have occasional problems with Restless Leg Syndrome so I developed Leg Relaxer. It worked within 5 minutes. I take Sleep Apnea Relief before bed every night and I keep Leg Relaxer on my night-stand. These products are all natural and are made from herbs that have been safely used for thousands of years.

Given the lack of action on climate change by Congress, more Americans are looking to leverage their purchasing power to make a difference. Yet, as consumers trying to “shop their values” know, it’s often diffi cult to distinguish the “green” from the “greenwashed”. Natural Awakenings has rounded up some tips that can help.


Dismiss Meaningless Labels Urvashi Rangan, Ph.D., who leads the Consumer Safety and Sustainability Group for Consumer Reports and its Greener Choices and Eco-labels online initiatives, says companies take far too many liberties in product labeling. The dearth of standards and consistency across the marketplace has rendered terms like “fresh,” and “free range” meaningless. Also, there’s more wrong than right about the “natural” label put on everything from soymilk to frozen dinners, she says.
