Having worked on several public health projects and in several human services settings, I have a strong concern for the health and wellness of others. The overlaps I’ve recognized between individual health, environment, global discord, and social justice have led me to make some major changes in my own life.

If our work involves helping others and improving the world, it’s particularly important that we manage our own health and wellness. Fortunately, there are several ways we can do both simultaneously! In fact, many habits that benefit our health or the environment also have personal financial benefits (Blix & Heitmiller, 1997).

Whether you’re making repairs to an existing building or building a brand new one, spray foam is a handy solution to your insulation needs. It’s versatile and efficient and offers a variety of benefits that help it pay for itself.

Spray foam insulation is one of the greenest products available for insulating buildings. It’s composed of agriculturally based renewable resources (a proprietary formula), and offers more benefits than similar petrol based products.

The means of application is 100% water based, so installing it in your structure won’t contribute to any ozone depletion. Once the foam is applied, you can feel safe with it in your home or business: it doesn’t give off any toxic vapors.

For piping systems fed by water from a private well, one of the most common causes of corrosion is low pH. A low pH is water with a pH of less than 7.0 pH. Signs of acid water are corrosion of fixtures, pinhole leaks, blue staining (from copper pipes) or rust staining (from iron pipes).

Common causes for acidic water are acid rainfall due to atmospheric carbon dioxide and other airborne pollutants, runoff from mining spoils, and decomposition of plant materials. Acidic waters can be high quality and are typically low in buffering calcium minerals, but are high in dissolved carbon-dioxide gas, which can cause the low pH or acidity.

Next time you’re visiting Malta, be sure to stay at the Hilton Malta. The hotel was opened in 2000 and offers the highest quality accommodation you’d expect from a Hilton.

Hilton Hotels began a programme in January 2006 called “We Care!” This program was one of the first of it’s kind. It began with Wolfgang Neumann taking the initiative and sending a letter to 80 Hilton general managers in Europe and Africa. His intentions were to get others to ‘think green’ and reduce the energy requirements of the Hilton Hotel chain. His plan was to decrease energy consumption by five per cent in the first year then fifteen per cent over three years.

Like most people you probably know that now more than ever we need to find alternative energy sources. Solar, nuclear and wind power are all viable options, but solar power is the most popular alternate energy source for residential homes.

Beyond knowing that it turns the sun’s rays into electricity, do you really know how it all works? If you’re interested in learning more about solar energy and are considering having it installed in your home, call a company that sets up solar panels start asking them questions.
