America Recycles Month communicates the benefits of recycling and provides the educational background that helps raise awareness about the value of reducing, reusing and recycling every day, all year long. Recycling used products is one of the best ways to save the environment while making new items from used material. At Jane Carter Solution, we consider protecting our planet very important!

Recycling helps to conserve natural resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. According to the EPA, recycling one ton of aluminum cans saves the energy equivalent of 36 barrels of oil or 1,655 gallons of gasoline. If a ton of cans is a little too much to visualize, consider this: recycling a single aluminum can saves enough energy to power a television for three hours. Yet, every three months, Americans toss enough aluminum into landfills to rebuild the entire U.S. fleet of commercial airplanes. (eeeek!)

Here’s what you can do at home and at work:

How can I recycle while at home?

• Be a role model; your family will recycle if you do.
• Know your local city’s policies on recycling.
• Keep a recycle bin right next to the trash bin.
• Take reusable bags with you when you go shopping BUT don’t leave them in the trunk.
• Use cloth napkins instead of paper.
• Share books, magazines and newspapers with others instead of throwing them away.

How can I recycle while at work?

• Use both sides of the paper when printing and only print what is absolutely necessary- the average US office worker goes through 10,000 sheets of copy paper a year.
• Recycle paper, ink cartridges and toners.
• Bring water bottles or coffee mugs instead of using styrofoam cups- styrofoam is completely non-recyclable. Enough styrofoam is created each year to circle the earth well over 400 times if linked together.
• Be a role model and encourage recycling among fellow employees.
• Bring your lunch in reusable containers instead of paper or plastic bags.

Take the pledge to reduce your waste by recycling…start TODAY!

We are prone to it and capable of it. We easy it is to find fault with others, while excusing our own similar behaviors; it’s done so rapidly and consistently, we often don’t notice.

As much as we’d like to believe that we’re rational human beings, we can all too easily mislead ourselves. Self-deception lurks in denials, double-mindedness, rationalizations, cover-ups/cover stories, elaborate and almost convincing justifications, excuses, attributions of blame and evasions of responsibility - it is the process that encourages us to justify our false and invalid beliefs.

Let’s get real, painfully real…are you a self-deceiver? Shaking and moving, ducking and dodging like a self-deceiver? You know, avoiding those that know who you really are by preferring the company of those that will play your game of deception and not expose you to yourself? Trying to appear better than we are. To appear more honest than we’ve been. To appear more heroic than we have been. To appear more friendly than we acted. To appear to be more intelligent or clever than we are.

It takes a lot of courage to answer this question. Some people might even reply to it confidently saying that they can never deceive themselves while in fact they are only trying to cover their big lies. Contrary to common beliefs happiness can’t be found but it’s earned after you solve the problems that are bothering you. Self-deception is not a solution to the problems you face but it’s just a method that buries these problems deep into your subconscious mind without solving them.

If you are deceiving yourself, it’s time to be brave enough and to face the lies you created.

It’s almost that time of the year…extreme winter weather can rob moisture from your hair leaving it dry, brittle, frizzy. When you get ready to get outside, you always think to bundle up, covering your hands and face, but what about your hair?

Winter can be a season full of holiday spirit, snuggling in front of the fire and trips to the slopes, but it can do serious damage to your hair. Help protect your hair from cold, blustery winds and rain with these simple tips:

Over-Drying Your Hair:

• Switch to air drying your hair
• Use a heat protectant on hair, such as Jane Carter Solution Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner prior to heat styling
• Try protective, “heatless” styles

Washing TOO Often:

• Try co-washing with Jane Carter Solution Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner

Dry Scalp:

• It is very important to get rid of dry scalp. Dry scalp may lead to itchiness and infection. To prevent dry scalp one needs to moisturize the scalp, try Jane Carter Solution Scalp Nourishing Serum
