WALTER SCOTT’S

The former Gossip Girl TV star, 27, shares Earth Day plans for her chic website,

preserve.us, which cele-brates American artisans

and their products. Her next film is Lionsgate’s romantic drama The Age of Adaline, opening April 24. What was the inspiration behind Preserve? “Mainly my mom. She’s someone who could create a magical moment out of anything.”

How do you keep the site eco- friendly? “It’s very important to us to be conscious in our selec-tions. We’re doing an exclusive collection for Earth Day with

Amour Vert. For every shirt you buy from them, they plant a tree.

They are doing everything they can to reduce their carbon footprint.”

What do you do in your person-al life to protect the planet? “My husband [Ryan Reynolds]

turned a car that wasn’t supposed to be electric into an electric car by

putting a thousand-pound battery in the trunk. He’s dangerously eco. Our homes are solar, we have the com-

post in the garden and we do all the smaller things, like turning off lights in the house—things I didn’t do grow-ing up that I have learned to be aware of.”

The Age of Adaline is a love story but more than that. How would you describe it? “It’s about the relationship between love and time—and the beauty and tragedy in that.”

What does it take these days to make you want to take a role? “It sure takes a lot, especially now that I’ve got a baby [born in December]. It has to be a fi lm that creatively inspires me.”

Email your questions for Walter Scott to [email protected].

Warriors 2015Leonardo DiCaprioIn 1998, the fi ve-time Academy Award nominee created the Leon-ardo DiCaprio Foundation (leonardodicaprio.com) dedicated to protecting Earth’s remaining wild places and wildlife, with a focus on renewable energy sources, rainfor-ests, oceans and access to clean water.

Angie HarmonThe Rizzoli & Isles actress teamed up with ethical life-style accessories brand Red Earth (redearthshop.com) to

debut her collection of African-made, hand-cast, recycled aluminum and brass jewelry, debuting in time for Earth Day on April 22. Check out Parade.com/RedEarth to read an interview with Harmon.

Gisele BundchenThe Brazilian supermodel makes fashion eco-friend-ly. Her Ipanema Gisele Bundchen line of sandals and fl ip fl ops, produced in Brazil, is manu-factured without the use of rubber from the Amazon rainforest—and made using at least 30 percent recycled materials, with 99 percent of all factory waste recycled or reused.

Robert Redford The veteran actor has devoted a large portion of his life to the environment, including founding the Sundance

Preserve to protect the North Fork Canyon in Utah, serving as a trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council (nrdc.org) since 1974 and producing The Green, a block of Sundance Channel program-ming that tackles issues such as solar energy and

wilderness preservation.

Arizona17,000 square feet. That’s the size of the

Diamondbacks’ solar canopy at Phoenix’s Chase Field that generates enough electricity to power the lights for 11 games.

CALIFORNIASince 2008, Bea Johnson’s family has lived a zero-waste life in Mill Valley, Calif. Her family of four—including husband Scott and teenage sons Max and Léo—generate a mere quart of waste a year. How do they do it? By following the Five Rs: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot (or compost).

Johnson, author of the popular website, zerowastehome.com, and the 2013 book Zero Waste Home: The Ultimate Guide to Simplifying Your Life by Reducing Your Waste (Scribner), says that even though they live simply—their wardrobes are spare (and mostly secondhand), and they donated all their books to the library—they also live a “modern life, not a hippie one,” with a car (a used Prius) and a TV.

Her husband estimates that going “zero waste” has cut the family budget about 40 percent. More important is that by cutting down, “our life has switched to one based on experiences, not based on stuff,” says Johnson. “We have more time with the kids, more time on the weekends to go camping or backpacking. It’s put an emphasis on human relations.”

Visit Parade.com/ZeroWaste for more of Johnson’s eco-friendly tricks.

TYPES OF PRODUCTS

During the 1930s to the 1980s, products sold by The Flintkote Company and Flintkote Mines Limited (the “Debtors”) may have contained asbestos. These products could have included foor tile, roofng shingles, joint compound, cement pipe, asphalt and other products.

Persons or entities exposed to, or harmed by, the Debtors’ asbestos or asbestos-containing products may have personal injury, wrongful death or other claims against the Debtors. You do not need to (i) have been diagnosed, (ii) have symptoms, or (iii) be impaired to be affected by the Plan.

If you believe you may have been exposed to, or harmed by the Debtors’ products, you may be entitled to vote on the terms of the Reorganization. You should carefully read this notice and the important documents located at http://www.fintkotebankruptcy.com.

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

The Debtors have fled for bankruptcy. On February 9, 2015, the Debtors fled a modifed Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Plan includes the terms of a settlement reached between the Debtors and their former indirect parent company, Imperial Tobacco Canada Limited (“ITCAN”). The Plan has been jointly proposed by the Debtors, the Asbestos Claimants Committee and the Future Claimants Representative (collectively, the “Plan Proponents”). As background, the Plan is a modifed version of a bankruptcy plan on which Debtors previously solicited votes in 2008 and 2009, and which was confrmed by the Bankruptcy Court on December 21, 2012 (the “Original Plan”).

A document describing the Plan’s changes (the “Disclosure Supplement”), which the Bankruptcy Court approved on March 17, 2015, and a copy of the Plan itself and voting materials (a “Resolicitation Package”), has been mailed to known holders of claims against the Debtors or their lawyers.

THE TRUST

The Plan provides for a trust to be established to pay eligible asbestos personal injury claims against the Debtors (the “Trust”). The Plan states that all current and future holders of asbestos personal injury claims will be forever prohibited from asserting claims directly against the Debtors and other parties protected under the Plan, including ITCAN. Such persons can receive money only from the Trust. The Plan and the Disclosure Supplement have important additional details and are available at http://www.fintkotebankruptcy.com.

SUPPLEMENTAL SETTLEMENT BAR ORDER

Under the Plan, ITCAN will also obtain protection from certain claims by a settlement bar order, which is described more particularly in the Plan and Disclosure Supplement.

VOTING PROCEDURES

The Bankruptcy Court has issued an order describing who can vote on the Plan, how to vote, and how votes will be counted. The Disclosure Supplement has information that will help you decide whether and how to vote on the Plan if you are entitled to do so. Votes cast on the Original Plan will be counted as votes on the Plan, unless a holder changes such vote.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T

My grandchildren are my pride and joy.

One of the charming things about young chil-

dren is they’re painfully honest. Months ago,

when reading a story to my 4-year-old grand-

daughter, she looked away and said that my

breath was “stinky.” I didn’t think much of it

until it happened again the next week – and it

wasn’t long after I had brushed my teeth.

I’ve always kept up with oral hygiene, so

bad breath wasn’t something I worried about.

I didn’t notice it myself, but I asked my den-

tist about it soon after.

According to him, bad breath is very com-

mon in seniors. Like every other kind of

health, our oral health declines with age. One

of the major problems is that less saliva is

produced as we get older, and a number of

medications (another fact of getting older)

make that problem much worse. Saliva acts

as a natural mouth rinse, clearing away bacte-

ria and food particles. When your mouth is

dry, bacteria thrive. Leftover food particles

feed bacteria and break down, releasing sulfur

as bad breath.

On top of this, we’ve got dentures, reced-

ing gums, oral problems from diabetes and

more. It’s no wonder I had bad breath. I’m

surprised my granddaughter didn’t say some-

thing sooner.

In the past, I’ve used plenty of products

that I thought would help with bad breath,

but I didn’t understand the real problem – so

I never sought the right solution. Most ordi-

nary mouthwashes that claim to kill bacteria

and give you fresh breath contain alcohol.

They temporarily reduce bacteria, but it’s

only about an hour before your breath starts

to stink again, whether you realize it or not.

Even worse, the alcohol dries out your mouth,

actually contributing to bad breath.

My dentist suggested an alcohol-free mouth-

wash, but it was important to me that I keep

my gums healthy to prevent a host of other

problems. I did some research, and then tried

a few brands. SmartMouth Advanced Clinical

)RUPXOD�RIIHUHG�DOO�RI�WKH�EHQHÀWV�,�ZDV�ORRN-

ing for, including a promise of 12 hours of

fresh breath every time I rinsed with it. It is

alcohol-free, so it doesn’t dry my mouth, but it

still works to kill bacteria that cause gingivitis.

I knew SmartMouth was unique because it

was the only mouthwash on the shelf that

came in a box, with two bottles inside. You

combine the two solutions in one cup right be-

fore rinsing; that’s what makes it so much

more effective at providing long-lasting fresh

breath compared to other mouthwashes. This

step “activates” the mouthwash, and the results

speak for themselves. My dentist approves of

my healthy gums, and my granddaughter lov-

ingly tells me I’m no longer “stinky.”

Go to SmartMouth.com for a good

explanation of how SmartMouth freshens

breath longer than any other mouthwash.

Ask MarilynBy Marilyn vos Savant

A friend paid our dinner check with a gift card she got from a credit-card company as a bonus after she charged a certain dollar amount. She said the gift card was free, as she doesn’t pay a fee for her credit card. Also, she always pays in full, so she doesn’t incur interest costs. If the gift card was free, who really picked up the check?—Loree Pons, Menifee, Calif.If the gift card was a surprise to your friend, I think the credit card company treated her to a dinner, and she treated you to one. (She could have used the gift card for two dinners for herself.) But if she knew about a bonus structure ahead of time, she earned the gift card by using that particular credit card instead of a different one. This means she paid for her own dinner and yours, too. Either way, your friend treated you.
