Using fewer plastics

Status: 
In Progress
Description: 

 

You might not have considered this, or might have but ended up forgetting it.

Whenever we go for groceries, we don't mind paying the extra 5 cents for a plastic bag. But what do we do with it after getting home?

The disposable cups, forks, spoons and dishes we use so that we can "use and throw" what happens to them?

This group is for all those who want to participate in using fewer plastic items in their every day chores. I know sometimes its difficult not to use them, but at least give it a try.

Best regards,

Backyard Edible Garden

Status: 
In Progress
Description: 
In April of this year, after watching 'Food,Inc.', I planted 2 6'x3' raised vegetable gardens. To grow our own food. Also started a compost bin, and rain barrels to water it without using city water.  Also have left a portion of our yard to go wild, reducing the amount of water and other resources needed to maintain it. And also creating more habitat for wildlife, and pollinators. We also have downgraded to the smallest trash receptacle our city provides, and don't come close to filling it every week.

Yohimbine - this extract obtained from the bark of the African tree yohimba is one of the oldest aphrodisiacs, which have used more Egyptians.

For this reason, medications containing higher concentrations Yohimbine, must be sold by prescription.

Peace Day Global Broadcast production partners are very excited about the 2010 United Nations International Day of Peace Global Broadcast Event. 

The 2010 Peace Day Global Broadcast will feature live feeds from celebrations around the world starting Peace Day weekend (starting September 17th), and culminating on the official United Nations Peace Day, September 21st.

This year's Broadcast is centered around solutions to the 8 United Nations Millenium Development Goals which have triggered unprecedented efforts worldwide in the fight against poverty, hunger, disease, a water crisis, and environmental destruction.

New technologies designed for improving all sectors of our society will be featured, such as "PlayPumps," a low cost solution where children play on Merry-Go-Rounds while providing water for entire African Villages, the World Food Program, and other solutions for malnutrition like Plumpynut.

New segments planned for this year include the giving of Pillar of Peace Awards to individuals and organizations doing extraordinary work in the peace building field.

Sponsors for the event are now being sought. There are several different levels at which you can participate. Each level offers excellent worldwide exposure and promotional opportunities for your organization.   All sponsor packages include airtime, inclusion of corporate logo on all marketing materials (posters, press releases, websites) before, during and after the event.  As with the 2009 Broadcast, this year's broadcast will be available for continuous play following the recording of the live event, ensuring increased value to our participants, and augmenting the educational outcomes we hope to achieve.  Contact us if you are interested in participating.

Here are the actions I have taken over the past 25 years to try and make the world a better place and preserve the planet

Status:

Description: 

By applying conscious living to my everyday thoughts, words, and deeds, I enhance my experience of the world and enter into a mutually beneficial relationship with everything that lives...

I eat vegetarian, wholesome, locally grown organic food.

I ride my bike everywhere and car pool with a "green" friend who owns an hybrid when I really need a car.

I homeschool my child and teach her how to be a conscious human being, respectful of her environment

I recycle and re-use everything that can be in my home and outside.

I give all my clothes and other no-longer needed household items to charity. 

I minimize my use of plastic bottles and containers to the very minimum.

I buy organic or green products unless it is not available to me.

I live simply and do not partake in "consumerism".  I limit my purchases to my basic needs and enjoy living with little possessions but a lot of free time to actually live life. 

I minimize my energy consumption to my needs, remaining aware not to be wasteful.

I use recycled pieces for the most part to create Art pieces.

I never litter and I pick up garbage others leave carelessly behind, especially in natural settings. 

I have a very wholesome and healthy lifestyle, free of cigarettes and other intoxicants.  I consider my body a sanctuary and therefore honor it, thereby raising my awareness level to treat all around me as a sanctuary too and giving it the same love and respect.    

I encourage others through my inspirational writings, my Yoga Programs and my example to live a more wholesome life, respectful of all life forms.

I cultivate tolerance and love as my primary principles in order to make the world peaceful and harmonious, at least in my immediate sphere.

 I never judge.  I do what I can at the best of my ability and with my given level of awareness.  I know others do too, and so I encourage them to follow my lead through example not remonstrance.
