Living out in the country with no trash service I find myself really disgusted with VA’s recycling program - at least in Spotsylvania County.  It’s hard enough to drive our trash to the dump…another when you want to recycle and you can’t recycle the one thing that most of your garbage is made of - [...]

Have you been reading the sunscreen news lately?  The Environmental Working Group (EWG) said their investigation of nearly 1,000 brand-name sunscreens showed that 4 out of 5 of them either don’t adequately protect against damaging UV radiation or contain potentially hazardous chemicals.
