    Boots - review the sexist pricing of everyday products

    Boots CEO, Simon Roberts: Review your sexist pricing! £9.99 for eye cream for women, but £7.29 for men. £2.29 for 8 women's razors, £1.49 for a pack of 10 for men. A visit to any Boots store and it's plain as day on the British high street that women are being ripped off. So-called 'women's products' are more expensive - from razors to moisturising creams. Women already buy things that men don't have to buy, like make up, hair products and tampons which are taxed as luxuries, plus we earn less than men on average across our lifetimes. Now to top it all off, research has proven what any woman who has ever been inside a hair salon already knew: women pay more than men for the same stuff. An investigation by The Times found that women are being charged 36% more on average for products marketed as ‘women’s products’. The Fawcett Society describe this as a sexist surcharge for women - and I think that’s exactly what this is. It's time this changed -- starting with Boots. Boots is one of the leading high street retailers. They often sell own-brand products at much higher prices to women when there are only minor differences in the product. The fact that these are own-brand products is what makes it really unfair – they don’t have to overcharge you, they simply choose to. Boots should lead the way by announcing a review of their pricing of women's toiletries and make a commitment to charge men and women fairly. These varying prices struck me most when I first had my hair cut very short. Since then, every visit to the hairdressers has cost me £45 in a salon which charges men just £25. I am being charged substantially more just because I am a woman. Now this research has been published, it’s plain to see that this practice is everywhere, especially in products in which the only discernible difference is if they’ve made the packaging pink or not – such as razors and moisturiser. Sure, I could just choose to buy the product marketed at men, but not all women realise that this is even an option. We are led to believe by the branding and pricing that there is a huge difference in product, but for the most part, that simply isn’t true. It is the responsibility of the retailer to stop trying to trick us into buying more expensive products for their own financial gain. If customers come together and say we don't want to pay extra any more, we can make them listen to us. We've challenged the tax on tampons - now it's time to challenge high street prices. If you agree sign the petition, and let's stop sexist pricing!

         It is not new to everyone that the earth we are living now is polluted due to improper waste disposal. Because of lives existed in the earth affected a lot. Having knowledge and application of proper waste disposal will have a great impact in the extension of earth life as well as human life.When waste is disposed of properly ,it helps to prevent additional pollution which can improve public health.Also whether you sell goods or services ,everything you produce has a life cycle .It begins with how you manufacture ,distribute ,use and then reuse or recycle that product .       Recycling is one of the best ways for us. to have a positive impact on the world in which we live.We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.It is good for environment ,since we are making new product from the old products which are of no use to us.We should recycle to make environment clean also to reduce garbage in landfills.        At the present situation , our beloved earth needs to be rescued and recycling also can save us from an environmental catastrophe.We have to protect our earth, so we can enjoy it.Earth is our home and it's time for us to appreciate,love, and respect it.

    Petition to LaPorte High School

    Re-establish early release everyday except Wednesday.

    The High School wants to cancel the early release program for most days of the week, but this program has helped students have time to relax after school and gave them time to have food before sports, work, or other similar events. Taking this away will only cause students further stress on top of those such as school, SATs, work, and sports.
