Pacifism is opposition to war, militarism, or violence. The word pacifism was coined by the French peace campaigner Ãmile Arnaud (1864â1921) and adopted by other peace activists at the tenth Universal Peace Congress in Glasgow in 1901. A related term is ahimsa (to do no harm), which is a core philosophy in Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism.
Much like Mylar is used for insulation of a building, it is also used to stabilize body temperature. Reflective emergency blankets were first used by NASA and are used to reflect a person's body heat back to their body. The blankets are often found in outdoor survival kits and are commonly used for shock victims.
Foil and Mylar Balloons. Foil and Mylar balloons are metallic in appearance and can be printed with images or messages.
