88 Sufi readings
Hi, about a couple of years ago I found a page or a file in your web site titled “88 Sufi readings”, URL http://www.greenfriends.org.uk/Tales/Tales.pdf.
Now I wanted to read it again but I get “Page not found”.
I would be very grateful if you could send me that file or let me know where I can find it.
I tried several times unsuccessfully the “contact us” page – couldn’t get the Captcha code reading to work
Thank you
Dangerous chemicals in fast foods
From WDDTY:-
“It’s not just the junk in fast food that is bad for you – you are also eating the dangerous chemicals that are lining the wrappers, too.
PAPs (polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters), which are used as a non-sticking and greaseproof agent on the inside of fast food wrappers, are making their way into the contents. Once eaten, they metabolise as PFCAs (perfluorinated carboxylic acids), a dangerous chemical that can cause cancer.”

“We must strive as much as possible to recycle and reuse waste, and thus create a world without waste – let that be our aim. Learning lessons in keeping our surroundings clean and in loving nature should start at home. We should make children aware of these things from childhood.”
