Using Sunscreen this Summer
Using sunscreen could accelerate cancer
By: Kenny Melcombe
Sure, you may not get that red, itchy sunburn, but some sunscreens containing Vitamin A are said to actually increase the speed at which cancer develops. Nearly half of the 500 most popular sunscreen products may increase the speed at which malignant cells develop and spread skin cancer.
With that knowledge, the best sunscreen is a hat and shirt. That way, you won’t worry about whether you may get sunburned or if the sunscreen is actually hurting you. But sometimes you want to feel the sun on your back and that’s when you ought to use EWG’s top rate sunscreen that provide UVA and UVB protection. Typically, these lotions contain either zinc or titanianium minerals to help cut the exposure.

Cash for Appliances
A reminder blog
By: Kenny Melcombe
This is a follow up blog that reiterates the Cash for Appliance program starting this Thursday, April 29th.
California began a ‘Cash for Appliances’ program on Thursday (Earth Day) and will run through May 23. If you purchase a new energy-efficient appliance and recycle your old one you can get a rebate of $200 for refrigerators, $100 for clothes washers and $50 for room air conditioners. To qualify you must live in California, the purchase, installation and recycling must take place in California. No out-of-state or Internet purchases are eligible.
The new appliances must be rated as energy-efficient by the Energy Star program. Your rebate submission must include a completed and signed application, proof of appliance recycling, a copy of the new appliance sales receipt, a copy of a utility bill and proof of purchase (i.e. UPC label).
No retroactive purchases qualify. The program website provides all the necessary details: www.cash4appliances.org. Rebates are on a first-come, first-serve basis until funds are depleted. This is NOT a tax credit but a rebate from the State of California and can be combined with manufacturer and Southern California Edison rebates.
For other state rebate programs, visit the Southern California Edison website at www.sce.com/RebatesandSavings or www.fypower.org.
