Hooray for 9-year old Carrick McCullough and his family! They're fellow homeschoolers who we met through some local homeschooling classes we signed up for. And now they're preparing to hit the road in their veggie-oil powered VW beetle, in an effort to educate folks across the country about more sustainable living. He was in the local paper just yesterday, and the day before that he appeared on ABC's "Bonnie Hunt Show."
To read all about the trip, find links to Carrick's YouTube videos & to donate and support their trip, see their web site called www.ourrenewablenation.org

I am SO sick of reading headlines about Chinese things being harmful to us. When are people going to realize that CHEAP is not the be-all and end-all of everything! And what must it be like to live in China where so many hazardous ingredients seem to be put into so many products? Are there no health and safety standards?
I used to wonder what it would be like to live in such a place, but then again....here in this country you can also find people who oppose health and safety regulations, and the money that such precautions cost.
As consumers, we can't afford to let our guard down. Not for a minute.
