make your own!
a mixture of veggie glycerin and apricot kernel oil works really well -- adjust proportions until you have something you like, add a little water if the glycerin makes it too sticky for you. shake it all up and make just a little at a time so you don't have to worry about it going bad. no scents, no parabens and very little to be allergic to.On A review of six hand and body lotions posted 1 year, 10 months ago 16 Responses
India and Indonesia? PUH-leeeeeeze.
The take-home point is that prosperity is good for population control over the long term (and that appears to be demonstrably the case, though we do not understand the mechanism).
My point is that simple environmental sustainability isn't enough. There is no such thing as sustainability, over the long term, without a stable population. We need to achieve global prosperity, sustainably.
KEYWORD -- sustainably!! Prosperity as it is right now is NOT sustainable -- I'm so tired of seeing the developing world getting the burden of blame. As bkracer and GreenEngineer noted, it IS the prosperous developed countries (as well as the properous in developing countries) who consume more resources. I have a really hard time with Western environmentalists who are vegan, bicyclists, organic gardeners -- with kids! How on earth does this add up? I mean, asking one average American child consumes the resources that could support 60 average Indian children. Shouldn't population education and better family planning, then, be focused on the RICH? I thought it was pretty simple. Apple, Brooklyn, Maddox and all the rest of them, as well as the average well-fed suburban child being driven to school in the family SUV, worry me a lot more than some peasant with 8 kids trying to survive off the land.
