    I went to the doctor today and I told the health care professional about healthy purchasing. She didn't know that make up didn't have to declare all of the ingredients. For example most make up has formaldehyde and mercury. Both chemicals of concerns because they pose a danger to health.

    I took the time to write a letter in the form of a forum post to other government jurisdictions concerning the importance of processing E-waste with a company that practices e-steward standards or R2 certification.
