WHAT IS THE MOST NUTRIENT RICH TREE IN THE WORLD?

Most people guess some kind of fruit tree.

The tree part is correct but it is NOT a fruit tree at all! 

It is the MORINGA OLEIFERA TREE!

It also goes by the following names - drumstick miracle tree ben oil or the horseradish tree.                                                                                                 Moringa has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties and health benefits.

vitamin A,  vitamin B1 (thiamine)   B2 (riboflavin)  B3 (niacin)   B-olatem ascorbic acid (vitamin C) calcium,  potassium,  iron,  magnesium,  phosphorus,  protein amino acids, and zinc.

Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water

  Why We Should Curb Our Use of Bottled Water Globally 154 billion litres of bottled water was consumed in 2004.  This was up 57% from five years earlier.  In 2006, an astounding 30% of people in Ontario who had access to regularly inspected municipal water supply primarily drank bottled water.  Many people believe that bottled water is purer and safer than tap water.

As I was picking up all kinds of litter such as license plates, chairs, discarded clothing, plastic bags, lots  of cigarette butts, and a myriad of discarded coffee containers, I began to reflect on all the problems triggered by litter. Here in Canada, we are very lucky to have an organized system where most municipalities and cities  make sure that there are regular pick-ups for your garbage, compost, and recyclables.

I simply cannot understand when someone buys a cup of coffee, they then go for a long hike, they  manage to carry the cup full of coffee, but the minute it’s empty, they simply cannot manage to carry  it back home a
