Speaker on Clean Air: James Brooks. He recommends hardwood floors in place of carpets. WiseGeek: Where Does Dust Come from? "It is estimated that humans lose 30,000 – 40,000 dead skin cells each and every minute. Furniture fabric, bedding, and clothes release fibers every time they are used or disturbed. Pets also contribute to house dust by shedding skin cells and hair. If your home is carpeted, there are even more fibers being released into the air."

Fun social activity unrelated to topic of presentation: Donna Messer on Net-Working . . . the first 30 seconds . . . build a relationship, find common ground. You sell your STRENGTH. You buy your WEAKNESS. Networking W3: Who are you? What do you need? What are you willing to share?
