This Earth Day, the Environmental Protection Agency is focusing on environmental justice, the "fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people" when it comes to environmental regulations and policies.

India: 'Putrid Landscape'

In New Delhi, families make $1 to $2 a day picking through trash in a landfill, The Los Angeles Times reports.

The paper describes Ghazipur landfill as "a post-apocalyptic world where hundreds of pickers climb a 100-foot-high trash pile daily, dodging and occasionally dying beneath belching bulldozers that reshape the putrid landscape."

The ONLY FDA Approved Medicinal Waters

Is it Bottled Water? Is it Medicine? It's Both.

Medicinal Waters are the first water products of any kind to be allowed by the FDA to make specific, qualified Medical Claims. They are considered as over the counter medicines and have a National Drug Code number from the FDA.

Medicinal Waters are natural homeopathic medicines, in oral spray form, designed to safely correct the causes behind numerous self-treating conditions. If you are troubled with any of these conditions: obesity, energy loss, stress, lack of focus, toxin buildup, mood swings, depression, muscle & joint soreness, arthritis, rheumatism or physical weakness - our FDA registered medicines can help you - for only pennies per dose.
