Tell Congress: Stop bottled water companies from polluting our national parks
Tell Congress:
“Discarded water bottles are the single largest source of waste on public lands. Do not prohibit our national parks from implementing necessary restrictions on bottled water sales on park lands.”
Add your name:
Sign the petition ►
Dear Stjepan,
Disposable plastic water bottles are single the biggest source of trash and pollution in our national parks.1That’s why in 2011 the National Park Service gave national parks the ability to ban sales of commercially bottled water from wasteful, disposable plastic bottles, instead encouraging park visitors to use refillable water bottles for hydration.
But the ability of national parks to implement this commonsense and environmentally sustainable policy may soon come to an end. After intense pressure and lobbying from giant water bottling companies like Coca-Cola and Nestle, Republicans in Congress slipped in a last minute amendment into its parks funding bill that prohibits national parks from banning disposable bottled water.2
This is a stunning giveaway to the bottled water industry at the expense of our national parks, and we need to stop it. Tell Congress to strip this terrible idea out before it passes this year’s national parks funding bill.
Today, Americans discard over 50 billion plastic water bottles per year, which consumes 20 billion barrels of oil and releases 25 million tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The National Park Service estimated that reducing bottled water could eliminate 6,000 tons of carbon emissions and 8 million kilowatt hours of electricity every year.3, 4
After the decision to allow parks to ban the sale of disposable bottled water and instead make refilling stations widely available to visitors, the new program was rapidly adopted by some of the most iconic and cherished national parks across the country. By 2014, nearly two dozen national parks had implemented it, including the Grand Canyon and Mount Rushmore. 5 Zion National Park reported that it eliminated over 60,000 disposable bottles – 5,000 pounds of plastic – every year.
But last month, after a lobbying campaign from Big Water brands like Deer Park, Fiji, and Evian that totaled over half a million dollars since 2011, Republican Rep. Keith Rothfus snuck a last-minute amendment into Congress’s appropriations bill, blocking the National Park Service from funding or enforcing the program.
National Parks were created to preserve some of this country’s most beautiful outdoor areas for the enjoyment of Americans – not to boost the profits of corporations. We can’t allow members of Congress to overturn sound public policies and sell out our national parks to the bottled water industry. Tell Congress to drop this horrible idea and quit playing politics with our national parks.
Thank you for your activism.

Registration for our upcoming Masterclass on Flowdreaming with Summer McStravick, is now officially open.
 
 
 
Who Is This For:
 
This Masterclass is for anyone looking to operate at a peak state of being, and break past the "glass ceiling" that has prevented you from growing your career and finances to the level you deserve.
 
What Will Be Covered:
 
* Learn why "luck" is the ONE thing that separates those who are successful and those who are struggling, and discover the fastest and most consistent way to generate more creativity, intuition and "luck" in your life.
 
* Escape "The Lack Cycle" that is causing you to self-sabotage your own potential success, and learn how to start living in a state of flow to rapidly create the lifestyle you've fantasized about for years.
 
* Experience Summer's unique and powerful Flowdreamingexercise, that will accelerate your ability to manifest more freedom, abundance and happiness. But unlike past Masterclasses, this session is NOT a meditation. So you can enjoy the full effects of this exercise without any prior meditation experience.
 
Why You Should Attend:
 
Amazing things tend to happen when you're in a state of flow. Things like serendipitous encounters that lead to new business opportunities, bursts of sustained energy and motivation, and an effortless flow of creative ideas, and more.
 
For most people, experiencing this flow state may only happen once in a while, and usually it happens only by chance. But according to Summer, there's a method to enter a state of flow at will. Her technique is calledFlowdreaming. It's deeply powerful and you'll get to experience it live on the call next Tuesday.
 
I'd love for you to join us and experience it for yourself. Just click the special link below to get started.
 
 
Be Extraordinary,

Founder, Mindvalley

Bacon Problems

It’s becoming more and more common for women to be the primary breadwinners in their families, but apparently they’re not supposed to talk about it. According to anew survey from the Family Wealth Advisors Council40 percent of the women surveyed say they feel pressure from family and friends to downplay their breadwinner status, nearly 50 percent don’t feel supported by their employers when it comes to work-life balance, and almost 30 percent of those married or in serious relationships say their parents disapprove of their breadwinning role. Word of advice: When women bring home the bacon, you just say thank you! [Related: What 11 Successful People Wish They’d Known About Money in Their 20s]

Better Than Traveling Pants

When it comes to pants, Lululemon has had some ups and some very see-through downs. And now they’re taking a new approach that you’ll start to see in stores, where pants are organized by “engineered sensation” as opposed to shape. Basically, you will now buy pants based on how you want them to make you feel. According to SELF, there are five sensations to choose from: relaxed, naked, held-in, hugged, and tight. Relaxed is for you to be able to do all the splits and high kicks that you want; naked is for those of you who prefer wearing next to nothing while working out; held-in keeps you feeling bundled up; hugged makes you feel all cozy; and I’m guessing tight is like working out in a pair of Spanx. These all sound great, but where are the ones that say, “I’m feeling really lazy today and would rather being eating a McFlurry than going to spin class?” [Related: The New Work Outfit Idea We’re Obsessed With for Fall]

LOOKING AHEAD
Samsung's Next Smartwatch Samsung Electronics, the No. 1 phone maker, introduced a smartwatch two years before Apple released its Apple Watch. But being first to market has not produced fruitful results for the South Korean manufacturer - the company is the No. 5 maker of wearable computers, after Fitbit, Apple, Xiaomi and Garmin, according to the market research firm IDC. Still, Samsung plans to introduce another watch on Thursday: the Gear S2, this time with a round screen. - Brian X. Chen
E.C.B. Council May Talk China The European Central Bank is not expected to change monetary policy when it meets in Frankfurt on Thursday. But the central bank's governing council is likely to have an intense discussion about how economic slowdown in China could affect the 19 countries in the eurozone. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, could signal that the governing council is becoming more willing to step up purchases of government bonds and other assets to pump more money into the economy and stimulate growth. Some analysts say the central bank could even announce an increase in asset purchases. -Jack Ewing
Disney's Marketing Force In one of the most brazen promotional efforts in Hollywood history, which is saying something, Disney will introduce merchandise from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" starting in Australia on Thursday and unfolding over 18 hours in 15 cities and 12 countries. YouTube personalities represented by Disney-owned Maker Studios will, one by one, open "Star Wars" toys live on camera, and Disney-owned ABC News will carry the streams on its website. Then, at midnight on Friday, roughly 1,000 stores worldwide will open to sell the products. (Two Disney-owned stores are charging $50 just to get in the door.) Whether fans turn out for what Disney has billed "Force Friday" remains to be seen, but retailers are on board in a big way. Walmart, which will stock 500 products related to the movie, including themed grocery items, moved up its Christmas layaway program to coincide with the event. - Brooks Barnes
Eyes on August Jobs Report On Friday morning, the Labor Department will report the latest data on hiring and unemployment in August. The monthly report on the state of the job market is always closely watched. But this one is under Wall Street's microscope because it is the last one before Federal Reserve policy makers meet in late September to decide whether to raise interest rates for the first time since the recession - a move they have signaled they plan to make soon. Wall Street is looking for slightly more than 200,000 jobs to have been added for the month and an unemployment rate that has stayed flat at 5.3 percent. A significantly more robust number might nudge the Fed to move, but global market volatility recently has prompted some analysts to predict a December rate increase. One wild card: In seven of the last 10 years, the August number for payrolls has come in 48,000 below the consensus, only to be revised upward later, according to RBS. In other words, this one is going to be a cliffhanger for nervous traders and investors. - Nelson D. Schwartz
