BEAM's Latest Campaigns:
Get involved and have your say on the following...
Other Items of Interest:
The Great Outdoors Is Good for Allergies New article*
Now there's another reason to get back to nature. A new study reveals that people who grow up in more rural
environments are less likely to develop allergies. The reason may be that environments rich with species
harbor more friendly microbes, which colonize our bodies and protect against inflammatory disorders.

If your looking for a practical action plan to live a 'simpler life' of reduced and restrained
