Canada’s Marine Pollution Program is closing. Why? Canada has been sending letters to government Scientists stating the closing of the program. What will the loss of jobs will do for the scientists and their families.
Why is Canada eliminating such a great program? Though there are no definite answers that I can find at this point, I am sure the staff of the Marine Pollution Program is seeking and demanding answers. Even the top scientists have the right to know why their job will be lost effective April 1st, 2013. I believe they still have plenty of time to petition this decision and only hope that this program can remain up and running.
Currently, Canada’s Marine Pollution Program employs 75 staff. To get more details on what is going on with this program and the government’s decision to shut it down, you can visit enn.com.
What do you think of Canada’s Marine Pollution program closing? Do you think they need this program or do you think it will save the goverment money if they close it completely? Please share you thoughts and opinions on this topic.

Apparently, this isn’t a hoax! You can lose weight while you sleep! Wow, really? According to enn.com, “sleeping more could keep the flab away.” Sounds easy doesn’t it? Does that mean we don’t have to exercise anymore? As brown-nosed as it sounds I am a fan of exercise and keeping our bodies fit and free from sicknesses.

I know many individuals would say that these chemicals are the only way to kill viruses and germs. Though this may be true, what are these harsh chemicals doing to our overall health and well being?

Now that’s a scary thought isn’t it? And this can be spread into just one room! According to enn.com, “most of this bacteria is directly stirred up from the floor, where they were left behind by the room’s prior occupants.” Well, it really should not be a shock when we get sick then if that is the truth. Yikes! So the dust off of the floor is the biggest culprit of this bacteria problem that we breathe every single day. Makes you want to go sweep, vacuum and disinfect every second doesn’t it?
