Mulch that you pay for is of much higher quality and is a great source of organic material for your yard or garden. Free mulch is usually the freshest mulch you can get, and in the world of mulching thatâs not a good thing.e keep chickens and use dust free wood chips from the local timber yard for their bedding in the coops. we clean then out once a fortnight and put the waste in a compost heap made from old pallets 8 foot X 4 foot. We also put grass clippings, garden weeds, crushed egg shells, banana skins, tea bags onto the pile.
Apparently we have more than one kilo of undigested plastic in our systems from ingesting our foods via bourgeois acroutements like takeaway coffee cups. To find out how to tell which plastics are toxic, check out my post on hazards to avoid. Most coffee lids fall in the 6 or 7 category. Thatâs bad.
Monster is unaware of any fatality anywhere that has been caused by its drinks.ââ Consumer Reports found that Monster Energy contained 92 milligrams of caffeine per 8-ounce serving; that compares to 100 mg in an 8-ounce cup of coffee. Starbucks Short (8-ounce) espresso drinks â latte, cappuchino, macchiato â have 75 to 90 mg of caffeine. Its brewed coffee has 150 to 175 mg for a Short serving. But serving sizes can be misleading since many folks consume whateverâs in the container. The most popular Starbucks size is Grande (16-ounces), which has twice as much caffeine. Monster Energy cans come in 24-ounces, which is 276 mg. While a little caffeine can increase alertness, boost mood, and give you more energy, too much can cause heart palpitations, nausea, dizziness, high blood pressure, and insomnia. Consumer Reports found seven brands of energy drinks that contain more than 200 mg of caffeine per serving, which are listed below.
