Sunrise

The Sunrise movement is a group of young environmentalists who want governments to regulate corporations supplying energy with fossil fuels. The purpose is to stop the climate change. There is such a group at W&M which has had outdoor meetings which local residents, like me, have attended.

At the same time over in the next county, Charles City, is more than 200 acres which has been set aside for a fracking project. It will need to use some water from James City County. Seasoned environmentalists think spewing out methane is a poor option to spewing out CO2.

Update Jan 2021: Plans for Charles City County have been abandoned due to so many citizens objecting.

Here’s what medical doctors have to say against fracking – from a recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Pet health

We have a wonderful animal, our cat, Squeaky.  He’s 18 yrs old now. Unfortunately as cats get older they are likely to get bladder or urinary tract problems.  We never used any therapeutic grade essential oils we have in the house on any of our cats.  You do not use these oils on animals as you would on an adult.  You can actually kill an animal with these oils without proper guidance.

Last year I attended a free class in Gloucester with Dr Mary Oney, a naturopath about the oils and pets.  I got a free booklet about using the oils with animals and sample of a blend to spray around Squeaky’s eating area.  The result of using it for fleas:  dramatic reduction- to almost none!

A girlfriend

A friend of mine feels like a real oddball in her old neighborhood in a small town in Virginia. She is surrounded by homeowners using chemicals on their lawns and plants.  Their children have so many allergies and respiratory problems!  Their pets often get sick.  These neighbors are not understanding anything about the effects of these toxins.

She feels sad she’s bringing in part of her herb garden to protect her plants and herself.  She’s having all the electrical receptacles of her childhood home grounded.  She knows more cell phone towers will be coming.

This year she took her ninth-grade granddaughter to an energy healing class to learn about and experience healing energy in the biofield.
