JUST IN FROM "Organic Consumers Association"

INDUSTRY IGNORES CONSUMER CONCERNS & CREATES BOGUS "OASIS" ORGANIC STANDARD A new "organic" standard for personal care products has been created exclusively by conventional industry members like Estee Lauder (owner of Aveda), Loreal and Hain (Jason, Avalon), without any input or comment period from organic consumers, organic farmers or personal care companies who have achieved USDA National Organic Program certification for the majority of their products. The OASIS standard allows a product to be labeled outright as “Organic” (rather than “Made with Organic Specified Ingredients”) even if it contains hydrogenated and sulfated cleansing ingredients like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate made from conventional agricultural material grown with synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, and preserved with synthetic petrochemical preservatives like Ethylhexylglycerin and Phenoxyethanol. As always, the OCA recommends consumers look for personal care products certified under the USDA National Organic Program. Learn more: http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_10886.cfm

Greetings. We are very interested in knowing your view on the subject of water containers. There are so many choices and we want to know how we can best serve you. What kind of container do you carry your water in? The writer of this entry is partial to a stainless steel canteen that looks like a bottle. There's a half dozen kinds of plastic. Some have water already in them, some you fill yourself. What about the idea of refilling your container at an automatic filtered water dispensing station? .
