How to Make Your Own Beauty Products from Scratch - Health

When it comes to personal-care products, we are big believers in streamlining what you use—see "Eight Products You Think You Need But Don't" for a refresher—buying less in general, and getting creative. We have both always loved experimenting in our kitchens and our bathrooms, checking ingredients in products we love, isolating the main ones, and then trying them on their own. Sometimes it works: A favorite hair leave-in contained aloe, for example, so one day we tried aloe alone and found that, lo and behold, it worked just fine on its own. And sometimes it didn't.

Just one man, 36-year-old Jeffrey Lee, holds the title to this unfathomably valuable piece of real estate – and he says it’s not for sale. Lee, an Australian Aborigine, won’t condone the destruction of his ancestral land at any cost.

“There are sacred sites, there are burial sites and there are other special places out there which are my responsibility to look after,” Lee told The Sydney Morning Herald. Lee’s incredible sacrifice isn’t just about salvaging the past: It’s about protecting the future, too. The Great Beyond: Study sheds light on the demography of climate change. Posted on behalf of Yana Balling Population growth may have a large impact on future greenhouse gas emission patterns. A study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds that 16-29% of emission reductions necessary to prevent the global mean temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius could be achieved by reduced population growth. Changes in population size and in the distribution of ages have been widely neglected in past and present emission scenarios, finds Brian O’Neill of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, who led the study.
