Last May, the Great Sichuan Earthquake left an estimated 4.8 million people homeless and approximately 70,000 people dead. Among the devastated living were 12.5 million animals who were displaced or lost their lives. Luckily, thanks to the incredible work of volunteers and organizations worldwide, many of them were saved.

While working at Harper’s Bazaar, Francesco Clark suffered a spinal-cord injury that left him unable to move or feel 99% of his body. Not only did he lose the ability to walk, Clark’s skin was no longer able to respond to hot and cold temperature. Without the ability to sweat, Clark found his skin really starting to suffer.
“I was fugly, really”, Clark claims, “and just because I’m in a wheel-chair, doesn’t mean I don’t want to look good! I wanted my appearance to reflect the way I felt on the inside – healthy and vibrant.”
With the help of physician his father, Clark tested 78 different essential oils, vitamins, and botanical extracts to find their crown jewel: Jasmine Absolute. As the core of Clark’s Botanicals, Jasmine Absolute promises to rebalance skin and help battle the aging process. Although they have a heavier price-tag than your average Avon, critics claim it’s worth every penny!

Google Gets in with Goats!
Google is always looking for innovative ways to reduce their environmental impact on the world. In fact, their internal motto is “don’t do evil”! Now they’ve taken that motto to a new extreme.
Outside of their Mountain View headquarters, Google had fields of weeds and brush that could present fire hazards. Rather than mowing those lawns, they chose a low-carbon approach: they rented goats from a company called, California Grazing (no, we aren’t clever enough to make this one up)!
Forget noisy lawnmowers that pollute the air and guzzle gas, goats will mow and fertilize Google’s Mountain View lawns… lowering their total carbon emissions without increasing their expenses.
Watch out John Deer… goats are here to stay!
