     Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been chosen by President Trump to oversee the Department of Health and Human Services. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. or RFK Jr. as he’s affectionately nicknamed, hails from the very promininent and politically involved Kennedy family. He has a great legacy to uphold as the Kennedy family has so strongly and positively impacted the historical and political landscape of the United States. That family has experienced so much tragedy amongst its members but they’ve managed to overcome.

CELEBRATING 5 YRS OF THE GREEN NEWS GUIDE

Image
SNSolutions and Green News Guide  originally began as a passion project. I had started a youtube channel focused on natural living and hair a few years prior and decided to form a website that offered information and news focused on the green lifestyle. At first, it was an extension of my former channel until I decided to stop making videos and focus solely on growing the Green News Guide audience through the original website. SNS Solutions is now solely focused on providing natural health and alternative medical services to seeking individuals. It's been a real pleasure to serve as chief editor, writing content for the Green News Guide for the past five years any one who really knows me, knows that writing and bettering the planet has always been passions of mine. I love intelligence but I appreciate creativity even more. I'm proud to be a creative force in various domains. The Green News Guide has always been an awesome outlet for me to hone and create. It's also been a ...

When Hair Dye is Literally to Die For

Image
The world of beauty can be a very toxic place. Green News Guide has always been invested in warning the masses about the dangers inherent in every day beauty products. Hair coloring is an activity and skill that stylists engage in on a regular basis. From at home drugstore coloring kits to dyes to bleaching, human beings never realized that there is a price to pay when seeking to color their hair. Not the first Study to Find Link between Cancer and Hair Dye Researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Environment and Cancer Epidemiology Group conducted a ground breaking study that had close to 50,000 participants. The study made it’s rounds over the past week when outlets reported on the study’s findings. However, Researchers, (White et al., 2019) weren’t the first to report about the link between cancer and hair dye. Researchers as far back as the early 2000s have confirmed links between bladder cancer and hair dye. According to a study completed in 2001 by...

Book Review: Reach for the Skai by Skai Jackson

Image
All adult “big kids at heart" will certainly know who Skai Jackson is. Yes, I admit to being a past twenty something year old who would often indulge in shows like Disney’s ‘Jessie!' When I first began watching Jessie, (which was my younger sibling's favorite television show), I would always think to myself—who’s that cute little brown girl with the ever perfect head of beautiful natural kinky hair?! I had never seen a young black child actress like her who embraced their natural hair the way that she did! In her book, Skai outlined in great detail who exactly was behind her unique look (momma Kiya) and why she wanted her daughter to learn to embrace her natural hair. It was truly an honor to meet Skai at her “Reach for the Skai” book release event. I purchased two copies, one for my younger sister and niece. I’m always so ecstatic to see a young brown girl like Skai winning and am so happy to support her. Now can we talk about the beautiful book cover shot by Jessie Eng...

BEEF AND MEAT FREE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT (BAMFEI) PLEDGE 2020

Image
It seems as if our current climate crisis kind of just snuck up on us in a ‘holy green moly, what are we going to do’ kind of way?! Green child prophets have even come forward prophesying of the grave dangers that will come upon us if governmental leaders do not begin creating initiatives to counteract climate change. The emotional speeches, the large, cushy climate conventions and governmental meetings in cities such as New York and Paris have been useful in gathering the masses and creating some measure of awareness within our communities about our climate crisis. But what can we as a collective do now? Now that we’ve done all the talking, all the preaching and proselytizing, action has to be taken to substantially lessen our carbon footprints. We’ve seen cities such as New York and San Francisco, create long-term goals to become carbon neutral by 2040. Large-scale implementations of plans for corporations and cities to become carbon neutral will take several years, decades and ...

The Impossible Whopper: An Honest Review

Image
Chicken lovers have got Popeye’s new chicken sandwich and vegetarians and vegans have a chance to take part in this modern day sandwich craze. Burger introduced a 100% plant based whopper courtesy of Impossible Foods on August 8th making this a very historic moment in the world of fast foods. Burger king previously offered a Morningstar veggie burger on their menu prior to the release of the Impossible Whopper. I’d like to consider myself A meat substitute dictionary. You name it, I’ve probably tried it and also know exactly which meatless types will work well in various meat free dishes. Want meat free tacos, pepperoni, hamburger, lasagna, or shepherd’s pie? Just hold a give me a few seconds while I download my internal meat free memory. Burger King has put all fast food chains to shame. When I say that this burger is absolutely amazing, I wholeheartedly mean it! That flame-broiled flavor synonymous with BK’s burgers was exactly what a protein packed meat free burger needed. When I b...
