How Pets Help Rise Great Kids

Boosting Immune Systems

Even though it may take some extra effort on your part to clean up the dirt and other stuff your pet brings in from the outside, they may actually be doing you a favor by helping to boost your child’s immune system. According to the Journal of Pediatrics, kids who had dogs or cats in their home during their first year of life experienced 31 percent fewer respiratory problems and 44 percent fewer ear infections.

About the Product

Pet Shield™ is a water based suspension containing millions of microscopic protectors. In water, the microscopic protectors (manufactured chemicals formed from non-toxic compounds), float freely looking to attach themselves to a surface as they dry out. Once dry, the protectors align their microscopic tails out from the surface forming a microscopic, long-lasting “bed of nails”. This bed of nails forms an impenetrable and deadly layer to harmful micro-organisms such as bacteria, mould and mildew, which burst from the pressure on contact, a process known as a “mechanical kill”.

Meet The Cola Bears in their Arctic Home

Coca-Cola has joined forces with the WWF to launch "Arctic Home", a campaign to raise awareness and funds to conserve the home of Coca-Cola's mascot, the polar bear. It is a initiative that will see the largest number of EU countries to ever come together in raising funds and awareness for a common cause.

The facts about climate change:

  • ‘Global warming' describes long term increases in temperature of the earth’s atmosphere.
  • 'Climate’ refers to the average weather in a region over a period of typically 30 years or more. 
  • 'Climate change’ refers to the recent changes in climate, which have been observed since the early 1900’s due to global warming
  • 'Greenhouse gases’ are essential to the earths atmosphere, but in the right quantities.
  • Global temeratures have increased by 1oC since pre-industrial times. The last time humans saw a change like this was the dawn of civilisation.
  • A rise of just 1oC will create huge problems in future, for man and wildlife, which is already being seen in the Arctic. 
  • Even if all greenhouse gas emissions were stopped, global temperature will continue to rise due to the gasses already in the atmosphere.

Without IMMEDIATE action on climate change, both humans and polar bears face a very uncertain future!
