MyMemory - Quand la traduction automatique rencontre la traduction humaine I Haven't Made Any Trash In 2 Years. Here's What My Life Is Like My name is Lauren. I'm a 23-year-old girl living in NYC and I don't make trash. For real. No garbage bin, no landfill. Nada. I know what you are thinking. I didn't always live what some call a "zero waste" life. But I started making a shift about three years ago, when I was an Environmental Studies major at NYU, protesting against big oil, and president of a club that hosted weekly talks on environmental topics.

Kevin Sabet | Clear thinking about drug policy UNIAD - Unidade de Pesquisa em Álcool e Drogas - Home La solución sueca para la prostitución: ¿Por qué nadie intentó esto antes? En un mar de siglos de clichés desesperados porque ‘siempre habrá prostitución’, el éxito de un país sobresale como un faro solitario que ilumina el camino. En apenas cinco años, Suecia ha disminuido drásticamente la cifra de mujeres dedicadas a las prostitución. En las calles de la ciudad capital, Estocolmo, la cantidad de prostitutas ha sido reducida en dos tercios y la de clientes en un 80 por ciento. En otras grandes ciudades suecas, el comercio sexual en las calles casi ha desaparecido. Adicionalmente, es nula la cantidad de mujeres extranjeras que ahora están siendo traficadas a Suecia para comercio sexual.

From academic pressure, to hectic social schedules, and trying to prepare for life after school, teens have a lot on their plates. Things can really seem to pile up this time of year with the stress of exams looming. Stress can manifest itself in multiple ways, from mental turmoil to physical pain.
