No LNG Port - Protecting the Sea Floor

On a New York beach  

Dear Legislative Body of Nassau County, Assemblymen (Long Island), Senators, Congressmen, City of Long Beach, Town of Hempstead and North Hempstead Governing Bodies;

My name is Ekayani Chamberlin. I am a native New Yorker and I live in Brooklyn. I am opposed to the Liberty Natural Gas project in Port Ambrose and offshore liquified natural gas facilities in general. I am opposed to this project for many reasons but for now I am  going to focus on the significant concern of the sea floor.

It is no secret that any form of ocean industrialization will negatively impact the sea floor. This project will impact up to 250 acres of the sea floor. This action will kill lobsters, crabs, clams, scallops, oysters and disturb the sea floor they rely upon. Some of these habitats require decades to form and they will be destroyed in just a few months of dredging for pipeline laying and the installation of anchoring devices. Once damaged it can take years to be restored to its original state and we should know as we have been trying for years to fix the damage that was already caused.  What about the whales who are near extinction that won't be able to pass let alone eat? Consider the fisherman who will lose their livelihood. What about the fragility of our shorelines and the people who lost homes barely getting a foot hold after Hurricane Sandy? The reasons as to why this project is a bad idea goes on forever but we don't have forever to play with Mother Nature recklessly. 

 As you can see from this photo of me , I have been enjoying the beaches of Long Island and Brooklyn since the age of  three. To this day I vacation regularly on Long Island. in an area that saw considerable damage from Hurricane Sandy.  Thank you for supporting a true "no action" alternative. Let's use wind instead that will fulfill the promise of New York as a leader in the energy of the future while protecting our communities for generations to come. There couldn't be a better or more needed time to make the switch.

Thank you!

How to Exfoliate for Younger Looking Skin VIDEO Demo in Greenpoint

          Watch the Video with Carla Lynne  Here!

Exfoliation of your skin helps it look younger. As we age our cells lose the ability to regenerate as quickly. This contributes to the look of aging and can look like dull, uneven and blotchy skin. The benefits of exfoliation include preparing the skin for the other products you will use. They no longer will have to fight through layers of dead skin to nourish your epidermis. Guys also benefit from exfoliation reducing the likelihood  of nicks and cuts. I used Rice Bran Polisher by Usana Health Sciences. The combination of rice bran beadlets and papaya enzymes exfoliates well while the kukui nut oil from Hawaii adds a healthy lipid deposit so your skin remains moist. It also also contains green tea which soothes and grape seed extract which is also great for guys  too who can have very irritated skin from shaving.  All skin needs to be cleansed, exfoliated, nourished and hydrated. Exfoliate once a week to keep pores free of sebum or oil that turns into blackheads.(Don't squeeze, you will only scar and reinfect your skin)  I recommend for older skins exfoliating twice a week if needed. Your skin will breathe easier and will glow as you uncover the younger cells hidden underneath the old, dead and dry skin. Thank you Carla Lynne Hall for being our model!
