Come Sit Down Here Beside Me Said The Spider To The Fly
In 1959 the people of Boulder, Colorado approved the “Blue Line”, a city charter amendment that restricted city water service to altitudes below 5,750 feet. This was intended to protect the city’s foothills backdrop from development. Eight years later Boulder voters approved a sales tax dedicated to the purchase of open space land and it wasn’t long after that Boulder County voters did the same.
Through this and subsequent sales tax votes, thousands of acres of publicly owned open space land have been purchased by the County, of which about 20,000 acres are agricultural. The issue of how county agricultural land should be managed drew the public spotlight in 2009 when 6 farmers with leases on county land asked for the ok to plant Roundup Ready sugar beets.
Soleil Organique: Vegan Sun Care For The Conscious Consumer
It is officially summertime and as the temperature continues to increase, more people eagerly head to the pool or the beach. While the sun does provide essential Vitamin D, too much sun can harm your skin. Typically, sun-worshipers have slathered on a myriad of tropical scented lotions and sprays in order to protect themselves from the sun’s harmful UV rays not really paying too much attention to what is in the product. The focal point has been primarily what number the SPF or sun protection factor is.
However, thanks to many consumer awareness groups, issues have been raised about the purity and kinds of ingredients used in sun care products. The reason for this concern is that the chemicals in your sun care can actually cause more damage than good. Another major issue for conscious consumers is whether or not these products are tested on animals and contain animal derived ingredients. Conscious consumers are especially particular about how the products that they choose to buy are made. Once a conscious consumer is hooked, the loyalty is instantaneous mainly because there are not many companies out there that produce a pure, high quality and vegan sun care product.
