Read 'n' Seed 1: Prevention is Primary: Strategies for Community Well-Being

The title of the book I chose is Prevention is Primary: Strategies for Community Well-Being. This book is about primary preventions and how we can build health and equity in communities. It also includes what people can do to prevent health and social problems before they occur. I chose this book because it seems interesting and I want to learn more about primary prevention.
There are three parts and fifteen chapters. I am going to read one part for first quarter, the second part for the second quarter, and the third part I am going to divide in half so I can write the third and fourth quarters.

There are three links where you can get more information about my book.

Share & Voice: How a hurricane is born - The Science Of Superstorms - BBC

I found this interesting short video from youtube.com called How a hurricane is born - The Science Of Superstorms - BBC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f45jA5UxB0 
It tells about how hurricanes are born and how they travel and reach the United States. Hurricanes in the Atlantic typically begin in Sahara, Africa, and I think it is really interesting that something as small as someone playing with the sand can develope a hurricane.
It is an interesting video so check it out if you have time.

Share & Voice: Take care of your pet that green way

I really like this article named Take care of your pet that green way. It is on the Duluth News Tribune's website. You can read the article on online http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/178633/publisher_ID/36/
The article is about how pet owners can look for environmentally friendly options. A great idea was how pet owners can make the toys for their pets from old clothes or something else they might throw away. This article also discusses how owners should use biodegradable dogwaste bags which are eco-friendly. 
Being that I have a dog, this article made me wonder would I buy the expensive toys when I could just make them myself. The article really opened my eyes to some new and different ways that I can be more eco-friendly when it comes to having pets.
