Plastic Planet

(I was really surprised when I read this article about plastics and which ones were bad for you. The hard plastic Nalgene water bottles and the plastic food containers and teethers for babies! Check the recycle triangle at the bottom of the plastic. There are no known health problems from the recycle numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 and there are potential health problems from those with the recycle numbers of 3, 6 and 7. So, try to avoid these numbers. Read on for more information. —Louise)

Food containers … water bottles … cling wrap … toys. We’re surrounded by plastics because they’re inexpensive and handy. But some scientists question their safety. Find out how plastics may affect you, the environment, and world communities.

By Julie Rothschild Levi

Peek inside any American household, and you’ll find it brimming with plastics. From food containers, cling wraps, and water jugs to baby bottles and toys, plastics are ubiquitous because they’re inexpensive, handy, and durable.

Yet many scientists and consumer advocates question the safety of plastics use. They argue that we’re trading health for convenience. Others say ignore the hype—plastics are perfectly safe. Although several types of plastics do appear to be safe, some have been shown to potentially affect health, such as PVC (or vinyl), found in some cling wraps and toys, and polycarbonate (PC), found in baby bottles and tin-can linings.

From an environmental perspective, noxious chemicals from plastics manufacturing contribute to water, air, and soil pollution, affecting not only ecosystems but human health as well, especially in China and Mexico. And Americans recycle just 5 percent of all plastics—leaving the rest to sit in landfills forever.

Although it may not be necessary (or realistic) to purge plastics from our lives, it may well be worthwhile to consider reducing their use, for the sake of our health and our world.

How Plastics Affect Your Health

“We’re reminded of the movie The Graduate, in which Dustin Hoffman was advised to go into plastics because it was the wave of the future,” says Walter Crinnion, ND, head of the Environmental Medicine Center of Excellence at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Tempe, Arizona. “But what’s happened is that plastics have gone into all of us.”

The Divine Plan

I was reading a book by my favorite author Glenn Clark titled How to Find Health Through Prayer when I came to a section where he was ministering to a woman about her health issues. Among his "prescriptions" was to read what I thought was a prayer called The Divine Plan from a booklet of his, every day for 6 weeks. I just had to find this divine plan. I looked through every Glenn Clark book I own but I couldn't find it. Finally, I decided to check the internet. Would someone post the prayer on the internet from a booklet that's over 60 years old? Of course they would! Wow! As it turns out, it's actually not so much a prayer but a pronouncement. Declaring good, Godly things for your life. It encompasses every thing I have ever known about who God is and how He works in our lives. This is an awesome and powerful declaration and I pray that it will fill in where you are lacking and give you joy, health, wholeness and a closer relationship to our Father in heaven. —Louise

The Divine Plan

From The Thought Farthest Out by Glenn Clark

I. I believe that God has a Divine Plan for me. I believe that this Plan is wrapped in the folds of my Being, even as the oak is wrapped in the acorn and the rose is wrapped in the bud. I believe that this Plan is permanent, indestructible and perfect, free from all that is essentially bad. Whatever comes into my life that is negative is not a part of this God-created Plan, but is a distortion caused by my failure to harmonize myself with the Plan as God has made it. I believe that this Plan is Divine, and when I relax myself completely to it, it will manifest completely and perfectly through me. I can always tell when I am completely relaxed to the Divine Plan by the inner peace that comes to me. This inner peace brings a joyous, creative urge that leads me into activities that unfold the Plan, or it brings a patience and a stillness that allow others to unfold the Plan to me.

II. I believe that this beautiful Divine Plan for me is a perfect part of the larger Pattern for the good of all, not something separate unto me alone. I believe that it has ramifications and interweavings that reach out through all the persons I meet and all the events that come to me, and that the best way to put myself in harmony with the Divine Plan that is within myself is to accept with radiant acquiescence all the individuals and events that are drawn to me, seeing in them perfect instruments for the perfect unfoldment of my perfect Plan. In other words, I believe that to see harmony in that which is without brings harmony in that which is within, even as to see harmony in that which is within brings harmony in that which is without.
