My heart sank as I witnessed sign after sign. Being an environmentalist I can't help but grieve for our planet and for the many ways that we continue to abuse her. When I see in big letters- "Warning" that gives me the shivers. My body feels sick as I realize that I am breathing in all these chemicals that are floating in the air.
