Joshua_Vadney, Why Should You Recycle? ---------------------------------------------------------- Recycle this, recycle that. Everyone has heard by now that we must recycle everything we can to save the earth. But is that really true? A plastic grocery bag takes 1,000 years to decompose in landfills. If that one little bag takes that long, consider your mall shopping bags, your trash bags. There is a growing industry in recycling, taking one thing and making it another. Old tires are shredded and used as playground tread. Grocery bags are remanufactured into clothing. These are examples of the economical aspect of recycling. Lemore, California started a rigid recycling program 15 years ago. The residents were required to comply or face fines. Recycling has taken this rural town and provided new playgrounds, a water park, and funded municipal endeavors such as the police department, fire house, and pre-school funding. This is the power of recycling. If you think that you are only one person, what difference could you possibly make? Consider this...if we ALL made the effort, our landfills would be smaller, there would be less waste, funding from recycling could help cash strapped communities. There is a Native American prayer my wife once gave me. It says,"May the footprints we leave behind show that we've walked in kindness toward the earth and every living thing. May our lives be a dance of celebration, and may the wind speak of peace to all our children's children." If you won't consider it for yourself, think of future generations that will have to deal with our waste. Plastic grocery bag = 1,000 years in a landfill Disposable diaper = 400 years Aluminum cans = 500 years Milk Jugs = 500 years Glass Jar = up to 1 million years Styrofoam = possibly never- think of your take out containers, your daily java fix In order to facilitate decomposition in landfills, oxygen is needed to aerate the trash. A simple banana peel can last up to 40 years in a landfill without proper aeration. Recycling in EVERY household can reduce our waste by up to half. Try it, it just might save the planet. ----------------------------------- Joshua Vadney has always been interested in "being green" and has started his own web page with tips for saving money while having a lower impact on the environment. Visit http://greentipsforyou.com/ to learn about useful ways you can be green. I hope this article has helped convince you to institute a recycling program in your own home.

2008-11-18 12:03:11	1	Add Some Green To Your Halloween	Are you wondering how to make your Halloween greener this year?		Add Some Green to Your Halloween Are you wondering how to make your Halloween greener this year? You might also be cringing at the thought of your kids eating all of those sugar filled treats and wondering what you can offer as a healthier option. A mom in Seattle also thought about these things a couple of years ago and that was the start of a grassroots initiative to create healthier and more Earth-friendly holidays, beginning with Halloween. Now known as Green Halloween, the movement officially began in 2007 and is backed by companies like Whole Foods Market. It was a huge success in Seattle last year so the group is working to make this a nation-wide initiative for 2008. Visit them online and get all the info you need to make your holiday greener. If you are thinking about handing out treats that are healthier for our children and our planet this year, the Green Halloween website has a long list of items that sound delicious. They include treats like certified organic fruit leather by a company called Fruitabu that contain only natural sugars and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. There is even an all natural chewing gum called Glee Gum. It is made with sustainably harvested rainforest chicle and is available in six flavors. They also list some simple solutions that you may not have thought about like organic applesauce snack packs, organic juice boxes and organic granola bars. Additionally they offer some wonderfully creative suggestions for non-food treat items that you can give instead of sweet treats that will still delight the little ones. They will love getting treasures like spinning tops, soy or beeswax crayons, stickers and whistles. Maybe you prefer to stick with tradition and still want to hand out candy. If you look for organic, all-natural, dye-free ingredients you can offer a healthier sweet treat. The Green Halloween site also includes a number of companies that provide all natural candy, such as, Endangered Species Chocolate. Their chocolate is certified organic and ethically traded with 52% cocoa content. The company also donates 10% of their net profits to help support species, habitat and humanity. Another company topping the list is Pure Fun. They make a variety of individually wrapped organic, fair trade, vegan and dye-free hard candies. They only use organic sugar cane and never use pesticides, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's), synthetic flavors or artificial FD&C colorants. Of course it is going to be almost impossible to keep your children from all of the sugary sweets that are handed out on this holiday, but if you think outside of the box, there are some ways to limit the amount that they actually eat. The folks at Green Halloween have come up with some great ideas like the Halloween fairy. Tell your child a story about the Halloween fairy that turns candy into magic fairy dust. Explain that she needs as much candy as she can get her hands on so if a child leaves candy outside on the porch, the fairy will come to take the candy and leave a special gift of thanks. Another of their suggestions is to have a candy trade. Kids receive a "pumpkin point" for each piece of candy they collect and then trade the points for a toy or special activity. Use these ideas to start some new holiday traditions for your family. Instead of throwing the un-eaten candy in the garbage, save it for special treats or check with your city to see if they will use it for compost. In addition to offering healthier treat options, Green Halloween also suggests many other ways that you can make this holiday more eco- friendly. Consider the bag your children are using to collect their treats. Are you purchasing something that will just be thrown away when the candy is all gone? As an alternative, let your children make their own bag from things around the house. You can use pillow cases, shopping bags, purses, or sew them out of fabric. They will love getting creative with their bags and making them their own. If you or your children are not the crafty type, there are some cute reusable bags on the market such as the Chico Halloween bag that was designed by kids. The Green Halloween site also includes some great tips for greening your costumes. Instead of buying a new one, borrow from a friend, rent one or make one from reusable materials. They give some very original green-themed costume ideas that you can create from things around the house. For example, make a Mother Earth costume by painting yourself blue, brown and green (with non-toxic body paint of course) and wearing wispy clothing in the same colors. Attach paper or stuffed animals to your body and weave flowers and plants throughout your clothing and hair. Give your children a chance to use their imaginations, ask them what they would like to be and their answers will probably surprise you. They will enjoy coming up with ways to create their costume and you will both have Halloween memories to last a lifetime. Volunteers across the country are helping to spread the word about Green Halloween in their communities this year. If you want to get involved you can become a volunteer simply by sending them an email. You can help by doing things such as talking to your local schools and community business about celebrating a Green Halloween, handing out informational post cards or even by hosting a Green Halloween party or neighborhood bash. Every participating community also has the opportunity to raise funds for a chosen local beneficiary. There are events planned across the country this year so be sure to check out the online map to see if there is one near you. -----------------Author Bio------------------ Michele Dupper is a stay-at-home Mom to her 1 ½ year old son CJ and the owner of Truly Organic Beauty (www.trulyorganicbeauty.com).

2008-09-17 09:50:57	1	4 Ways To Green Your Meals	4 Ways To Green Your Meals		4 Ways to Green Your Meals Most people now realize that we all need to begin living a more planet-friendly life. There are many ways that you can make a significant contribution. They range from simple things like recycling to larger, more costly things such as solar energy for your home. It is common for people to feel overwhelmed by all of the green information in the media these days and they do not know where to begin making these changes. An easy way to start living a greener life is to take a look at what you put into your body. Make a move towards greener meals by using the four steps outlined below. 1) Use Fresh Ingredients Cooking meals using fresh ingredients usually means that less energy has been used to produce and transport those foods. You will spend about the same amount of time and money preparing meals in this way and the taste is considerably superior. Moving away from pre-packaged, convenience foods will be an adjustment if this is what you are used to however, with just a little planning you will be whipping up meals from scratch in no time. In addition to reducing your impact on the environment, you'll also reap the benefits of meals that do not include any synthetic chemicals that are common in most pre-packaged foods. 2) Buy Locally Grown It is estimated that the average US meal comes from 5 different nations and that most food travels an average of about 1,500 miles to reach your table. Buying from local growers and sellers greatly reduces the effects on the environment by decreasing the distance that food travels. This means less carbon dioxide emissions and less packaging materials. You'll also support your local economy when buying directly from your area's growers and cutting out the middlemen. When you purchase foods at large grocery stores, only about 18 cents of every dollar go to the farmer, the rest goes to numerous middlemen involved in the processing, packaging and transporting. Supporting local farms also helps protect the land in your area from urban sprawl and development. The best way to find local foods is at farmers markets or through community supported agriculture (CSA). 3) Purchase Organic Organic means much more than just food that is free from harmful pesticides and herbicides. It means fertile, nutrient rich soil, healthy ecosystems, workers safe from chemicals and thriving wildlife. Our traditional farming methods have only been in use for the past 75 of 10,000 years of recorded agriculture and they have caused significant environmental damage. The use of synthetic pesticides and herbicides destroys soil microbes which are needed to produce crops, so the plants can only receive air, water and sunlight from their environment. Everything else like soil fertility, nutrients and nitrogen must be given to the plants by farmers and is usually transported from thousands of miles away, adding to the impact on the environment. The fertilizers that are added back further harm our planet by polluting our water system. When you purchase organic foods you are supporting sustainable farming methods that result in much less pollution and top-soil loss than traditional agriculture, Since most organic foods are slightly more expensive, get the most bang for your buck and purchase organic when buying foods that are usually the most contaminated. The Environmental Working Group did a study and identified the "dirty dozen" as Peaches, Apples, Sweet Bell Peppers, Celery, Nectarines, Strawberries, Cherries, Lettuce, Imported Grapes, Pears, Spinach, and Potatoes. If you want to begin purchasing organic, start with these foods and you'll lower your exposure by about 14 pesticides per day. 4) Reduce Meat Consumption Reducing the amount of meat you eat is one of the simplest changes that you can implement and it is thought to be the most effective green move you can make. Of all of the types of foods on your table, meat uses the most resources. For example, one pound of beef requires about 12,000 gallons of water to produce, compared to only 60 gallons for a pound of potatoes. In addition to water, raising livestock also requires large amounts of grain, fossil fuel and land. Some of these farms produce as much sewage as a small city however they are not required to treat the waste. Instead, it is held in large pools and spread on the fields where it often runs off and pollutes nearby water systems. There are also large amounts of methane being released into the air from the millions of pounds of waste. Methane is believed to be among the most important greenhouse gases contributing to global warming today. Going meatless is a big undertaking for many since most of us are used to eating it at least once a day. Do not be intimidated, you do not have to go completely vegetarian to make a difference. Begin by using meat as an accent to your meals in stir-fries and soups, instead of serving it as the main course. Then cut out one serving of meat per week; if we all did only this, the impact would be phenomenal. There are a variety of meat substitute products on the market these days such as tofu and tempeh. Other foods like portobello mushrooms or legumes make an excellent main course in place of meat. When you do purchase meat, look for grass-fed meat. Most of the pastures for grass feeding use low-cost grasses that usually require very little added water and few or no synthetic fertilizers. Aside from making a huge impact on the planet, reducing your meat consumption will also greatly benefit your health since numerous degenerative diseases like heart disease and cancer have been linked to meat consumption. Using fresh, local, and organic ingredients when possible and reducing your meat consumption is better for your health and for your world. Remember, one person really can make a difference. Do not feel pressured to make all of these changes at once. Doing any of the above in any amount is so much more than doing none of them. -----------------Author Bio------------------ Michele Dupper is a stay-at-home Mom to her 1 ½ year old son CJ and the owner of Truly Organic Beauty (www.trulyorganicbeauty.com).

2007-11-19 11:45:41	1	Adjusting to the Dark Time of Year	Adjusting to the Dark Time of Year		Honoring Yourself - Adjusting to the Dark Time of Year Did you know that you can maximize your energy levels by adjusting your food and exercise to match the season? Now Autumn is in full swing, and it's chilly! It's a lot more work for your body to stay warm, but you can ease the process by focusing your diet on warm dishes using seasonal foods to give yourself that extra nutritional boost and exercising regularly to heat your body up! Adding pungent and spicy herbs can warm you up too: garlic, oregano, thyme, onions, cayenne, chili, curry, rosemary, basil etc... Colds, congestion and constipation are pretty typical this time of year. We're too busy to rest and exercise as much as we need or we indulge on sweets during the holidays or all of the above! These conditions are simply signals from the body that you need to simplify and cleanse a bit. To balance out: rest, hydrate, exercise and eat plenty of seasonal produce, especially in soup our stew form. Even the seasonal fruit is cleansing for your system. Check your local farmer's market, but it's likely you'll find these seasonal foods available: cranberries, apples, pears, pomegranite, oranges, pumpkins, squashs, turnips, parsnips, beets, brussel sprouts, peppers, and sweet potatoes, garlic, and onions. One way to lower your chances of coming down with a cold or the flu this season is to practice deep relaxation on a daily basis. Often relaxing deeply will give you an energy boost because the energy your muscles were using to stay tense is now directed back into the body system and available for you to repair damage, neutralize a "bug", or simply to recharge. The most simple at home technique for deep relaxation is to sit comfortably and breath slowly. Inhale for a count of four, pause briefly, and then exhale for a count of 8. Repeat for 5 or 10 minutes until you feel peaceful and calm. You can do this simple breathing exercise anytime and anyplace - while sitting in traffic, in a meeting, waiting in line, while on hold on the phone, when you first wake up, in bed to help you fall asleep, etc... For many this time of year also means going to and leaving work happens in the dark. You might not be getting enough sunlight to regulate your body's rhythms so that you feel your best. If you can, expose your hands and face to the sun outside daily in the morning for 5-15 minutes to let your body know it's time to be alert, awake and energized. If you can't get outside, consider investing in a natural spectrum lap and give yourself a light treat every morning during breakfast for 5-15 minutes. The resulting alertness and focus is quite amazing! Whether your schedule is busting at the seams, you don't want to leave the house, or the usual holiday stressors are looming on the horizon - the best thing you can do for yourself to float through the holidays with peace and bliss this fall is to make self-care a priority. Schedule an appointment with yourself to relax and rejuvenate every day, or at the very least every week. And, keep this appointment with yourself like it's a date with someone important to you. (I hope you are important to you.) Taking this time out on a regular basis is the key to being energized, staying calm, and feeling good about all the decisions you have to make during the busy time of year - about what you eat, what you buy, how you spend your time, etc... I recommend you pull out your calendar right now and set aside your self-care appointments before the holiday invitations start coming in. The trick is to honor these appointments with yourself by saying no to invitations that conflict, or if you can't or don't want to say no to an important event, rescheduling your self-care appointment to another time that day or day that week. The key is making self-care a priority and sticking with your commitment to relax and rejuvenate. By Artemisia About the Author-- Artemisia is a High Priestess of the Order of the White Moon.
