Brummet's Conscious Blog

-- Quote of the Day -- “ I used to believe I was going in the wrong direction sometimes… it is important to accept my life experiences and learn from them… accept your personal accountability for what happens and move on. …Instead of worrying about the fairness of it all we must learn to be a river – go with the flow. …We all have an invisible bucket – and that is a great way to picture our feelings. When our bucket is full we are having positive feelings joyful, happy, …grateful. When our buckets are empty we might be sad or angry or jealous or any of these negative feelings. We can choose to be a bucket filler or a bucket dipper. A bucket filler helps make other people feel good by the things we do and say; a bucket dipper does just the opposite. The best way to keep our bucket full, is to fill other people’s buckets. …we are in charge of our buckets, all the time .” Stacey Lundgren ~ June 24, 2010 Today's quote came from an interview with Stacey on the Conscious Discussions ...

-- Quote of the Day -- “ Time and patience are the greatest healers .” ~ author unknown -- Positive Eco-News -- From the Zero Waste San Diego Group: A new bill has passed that will enable cities to divert as much as 67 percent of their landfill mass through keeping organics in a composting system instead. Much of the organics being put into the system will come from hotels, restaurants, grocery stores and cafes. Other large contributors are everyday kitchen and yard waste from the residential contributions and city landscaping industry. The government is enforcing this through fines for municipalities that do not comply to the new regulations. In the short term there will need to be some investment into new waste management technology but in the long term the benefits are more than obvious and will also apply to the city’s budget improvements through the improved systems.
