Hazardous pesticides and industrial chemicals that can kill people, damage the nervous and immune systems , cause cancer and reproductive disorders and interfere with normal infant and child development. The nine new chemicals now listed under the Stockholm Convention are: Alpha hexachlorocyclohexane to Annex A; Beta hexachlorocyclohexane to Annex A; Although the intentional use of alpha- and beta-HCH as an insecticide was phased out years ago, these chemicals are still produced as an unintentional by-product of lindane. Approximately 6-10 tons of other isomers including alpha- and beta-HCH result from each ton of lindane produced. Hexabromodiphenyl ether and heptabromodiphenyl ether to Annex A; Tetrabromodiphenyl ether and pentabromodiphenyl ether to Annex A; Bromodiphenyl ether congeners are a group of brominated organic substances that inhibit or suppress combustion in organic material, which are used as additive flame retardants. Brominated diphenyl ethers are main...

What on earth is that? Space Junk and debris (NOT STARS),  As technologies increase we will have more and more satellites floating causing Space Junk especially without any regulations. We would not just be polluting our Mother Earth, but also will be polluting our space. More space exploration  will continue and addressing the problem of space junk will be essential. The responsibility falls on governments and private companies to ensure cleaner orbital paths for future generations. Without effective action, Earth's orbit could become dangerously congested, limiting space exploration and satellite deployment.   Efforts to remove and regulate space debris today will determine the sustainability of our presence in space tomorrow.

ScienceDaily (Feb. 7, 2009) — Many of the substances in the most common medicines are manufactured in India and China. Some of these factories release large quantities of antibiotics and other pharmaceutical substances into the environment. There is an obvious risk of these releases leading to resistant bacteria. Cetirizine, ciprofloxacin, citalopram, levofloxacin, losartan, metoprolol, norfloxacin, ofloxacin and ranitidine were used in this study. University of Gothenburg (2009, February 7).

So many bailouts (trillion dollars) going on and a news that a 93-year-old man in central Michigan, who owed some unpaid electric bills froze to death inside his home because the electric company cut the power, made me to think something is not right.

When people begin to do good things even to their enemies, then everything will be alright. Praying to God to bring that mind to each and every person in the world. Also praying to God to bring more people like the following great people to earth: Good News: So many Green Jobs are going to come. At least we are going towards a good path.
