Pollution from lawn mowers and lawn care equipment is a big problem. Tailpipe emissions from cars have been regulated in one form or another for decades. Not so with lawn care equipment.
In fact, until just a few years ago, the patchwork of small engine pollution regulations which has sprung up around the United States did not exist.
Each weekend 54 million people mow their lawns burning 800,000,000 gallons of gasoline a year. Operating a lawn mower one hour could create the same pollution levels as driving a new car 340 miles. A single gasoline lawn mower could create more pollution than 73 new cars.
The Environmental Protection Agency tells us that 5% of our nation’s pollution comes from lawn care equipment. In a single day in Los Angeles, air pollution from lawn equipment exceeds total emissions from all planes in the city’s airspace.
What is the air pollution solution?

Volunteers who serve victims experiencing pain and loss may develop a traumatic response called vicarious trauma or compassion fatigue, which left unchecked, could develop into post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
This free online movie shows symptoms and the unhealthy behaviors volunteers and workers may use to deal with symptoms. You will see how to prevent post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and vicarious trauma in volunteers.
During a time of need, being a volunteer or worker can be an immensely rewarding endeavor. It’s essential that it not become a dangerous one as well.
For a safe place for survivors and those who treat children or adult trauma survivors to ask questions and share insights go to my blog "Healing is Possible."

The disease of scoliosis has many symptoms and side effects that people do not fully understand.
People who have scoliosis find their daily functions are altered. Scoliosis suffers and their loved ones often discount those symptoms as normal behavior.
Have you been told by your doctor, “I can give you something for that problem, but it’s not your scoliosis” or maybe you have been told “scoliosis is only a curve in your spine” and your symptoms are “all in your head.”
Reality is that these symptoms exist, along with many others that intertwine with the neurological, muscular, skeletal, digestive, and hormonal systems.
To help other people understand scoliosis, you must first familiarize yourself with the disease. Then you can help others understand. This free online movie can help.
