Oprah Winfrey Show - Earth Day Special - April 22, 2009

Today's Oprah Winfrey Show featured some great environmental friendly tips for Earth Day. I had no idea that plastic bags were creating such a huge environmental hazard not to mention all of the other plastic garbage that ends up in the ocean.

Throughout the show there were a few disturbing graphic pictures shown to illustrate the extent of the massive amounts of waste that people are creating.

Oprah's Earth Day guests shed some light on the reality of where all of our trash goes and how when we pour chemicals down the drain they harm the environment and eventually they will harm us. 

Even Small Changes Can Help

After seeing today's show I am definitely going to switch to Reusable Shopping Bags for all of my shopping outings and I am going to stop using cleaning chemicals and switch to all natural homemade cleaners.

Not only will making green changes like giving up paper towels and chemical cleaners help the environment but it can also save you money. Energy efficient light bulbs and weather stripping were just some of the money saving "green" ideas featured on the show. You'll find more green money savers on Oprah.com.

Today's Oprah - Child Predators - How You Can Help John Walsh!

Today's April 15, 2009 Oprah Winfrey Show was a sad one but extremely important for parents to watch. Parents need to be aware of how easy it is for even the most well behaved and brightest children to be lured by dangerous online predators.

Online social networking websites like Facebook and MySpace as well as online chatrooms, website forums, etc., give sexual predators a chance to meet your child in the comfort of their own home. With a child's guard down these predators "groom" the child slowly over time so that they will feel it's safe to meet them at some point.

Oprah's guests consisted of those who had been victims of online sexual predators or were the parents of children who died after being assaulted by a child molester. The victims were good children who did well at school and who had a loving home and parents.

The guests serve as a reminder to parents that any child can be lured by a predator and it's a misconception that the only children who fall for online predators are in some way troubled.

You can read the details of the victims/survivors stories online at Oprah.com.
