Book Description
During the last decade or so the extent of natural ingredients used by the cosmetics industry has increased, but there is no comprehensive publication on beauty products based on forest products, although scattered information does exist. By bringing attention to the role of forests in supplying beauty products and the connections with livelihood security and utilization of NWFPs, awareness of the importance of forests and their connection with cosmetics will be raised. Within this context, FAO and the Non-Timber Forest Products – Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP) Asia have conducted this regional assessment of NWFPs related to the cosmetics and fragrance sector. The study compiled a set of case studies that examined specific NWFPs and the various traditional contexts in which they are collected, processed and marketed. The main objective of this volume is to present the case studies and the emerging synthesis, while encouraging cross-sectoral discussions in Asia on forests and beauty products. The study also provides recommendations on further enhancing equitable arrangements between forest communities and industry players. The initiative also organized a mini-seminar on forest product contributions to the cosmetics industry as part of the Asia-Pacific Forestry Week 2016 in Clark, Pampanga, the Philippines.

Contemplative Thoughts in Human Nature

ISBN: 1496934717

Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
This book has investigated numerous phenomena of human destructive behaviors, and we have seen how much such behaviors have contributed to human suffering, agony, and aggression. And we try to answer why we behave destructively. There are myriad answers to that. But the most prominent answer is when God created the universe and humankind, the first program that was instilled in us was the human wicked, or destructive, inclination, before anything else. So since God the Almighty instilled in us such a wicked program, then we are doomed from the start. You may go further and say that its unfair that we come to this world with a bad start. As the existential thinkers put it intelligently, our existence is merely a cruel trick.

Through her own trial, error and real world application, Paige brings her findings from the field to save readers time, money, and energy. She cuts through the jargon and presents accurate information in a fun, user-friendly format, providing women the necessary tools to reduce their Cosmetic Footprint and live a more sustainable, healthier, and sexier lifestyle!
