Nordic People Seek to Prevent Oil Drilling in the Arctic

Image
There is a climate court case named People vs Arctic Oil that was initiated by environmentalists and young earth activists in Norway who desire to prevent oil drilling in the arctic. The Norwegian people, realizing the climate crisis at hand, wish to put a stop to activities that will only heighten it. The primary organizations that make up the ‘people’ in People vs Arctic Oil are Greenpeace Nordic and Young Friends of the Earth Norway. On a side note, Nordic people and people of Nordic heritage have proven to be extremely passionate about stopping the climate crisis. Some of the most outspoken people in today’s fight against climate change are of Nordic heritage (wink wink). The country of Iceland ranks extremely low in their CO2 emissions compared to other countries in Europe and the USA. Obviously, Nordic people are waving their green flags and living life the right way…the green way. In 2016 Greenpeace Nordic and Young Friends of the Earth sued the Norwegian government for providin...

Yadain Cultural Solutions Product Review

Image
Yadain Cultural Solutions has been producing and packaging handmade, all-natural products for body, skin and hair since 1997. Yadain means “two hands” in Arabic which came from the fact that they produce products with two hands and opt not to rely on machinery. Based in Brooklyn, NY, Yadain embraces a motto which proclaims: “From the People For the People.” I came across the brand about two years ago and finally got around to trying a few of their body products. Yadain’s products are truly clean and all natural. They use a variety of herbs, fruits, oils and butters to produce their body and skincare goods. Here are the products I’ll be discussing from Yadain: 1.) Signature therapeutic Whipped butter $15.99 - As a person who has tried many body butters, I can say Yadain has got the perfect formulation. The butter is not too hard and it spreads well. It’s creamy and it’s luscious. The type I selected was ‘raw mango and Oats.’ My one issue with the product was that it was missing the sc...
