Wednesday, May 25, 2011. What do we mean by "Global Environmental Health"?

http://healthconsciousbear.blogspot.com/2011/05/and-not-drop-to-drink.html
Wednesday, May 18, 2011. And not a drop to drink! Hi, everyone. My name is Keith. I'm a former U.S. Marine and a very "non-typical" undergrad student. That's just a politically correct way saying I'm old. Frankly, I would just as soon be called an old guy! I'm not real sensitive about my age. I'm a Junior majoring in Environmental Studies and Policy. I'm originally from a small town in extreme SW Ga called Blakley (no, not Bleckley County). Prospective. That includes us, too, ya know! This is great Keith,.
