Susan Caron 4/13/2023 10:08 AMI make my own air freshener with aromatherapy oils, like lemon and lavender with water (clean water). I have spray bottles with it for my home and car. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate & EcosystemsWhat are your thoughts on WSP partnering with smaller companies with the Emerge Program?
Susan Caron 4/11/2023 1:11 PMI love this idea. And I love the companies they chose to partner with. Each is passionate about what they do, you could definitely feel that in their presentation. -
Susan Caron 4/05/2023 5:19 AMA while back I bought some snacks at the store. That night I had one of the snacks, Goldfish. My stomach wasn't right the next morning, so my first thought was, what did I eat. I looked at the ingredients at the store and thought they were okay. But, when I looked again that morning, I saw a small line all by itself between the nutrition box and the ingredients area that said, contains bioengineered food ingredients, or something like that. So I looked at the Ritz crackers and the graham crackers I'd bought, and both of them had it too. You really have to look for this statement when shopping if you're trying to stay non-GMO.-
Cassandra Borchers 4/05/2023 1:01 PMThanks Susan! I'm always worried about what is in the food my boys eat. Especially artificial dyes.
