-- Conscious Living Event -- Oct 31-Nov 2 11th Annual Conference on Renewable Energy from Organics Recycling Location : Madison, Wisconsin Info : www.jgpress.com -- Conscious Shopping Habits -- Nov/Dec is traditionally a time of higher shopping habits due to the holidays, so we thought we'd put together some conscious shopping habit tips for you to consider. First - don't idle your vehicle, shut it off. Park somewhere central where you can walk to a number of different shops. Keep a few lists going on the fridge where you can jot down things for the grocery store, gift items, and hardware store items... making your shopping experience more efficient. And consider using public transit when possible.  Interesting studies were done in our town where they evaluated the busiest days and least available parking time: The busiest being Tues & Wed, with the peak parking time between 12-1:10 PM. So one could hypothesize that c...

-- Nothing's Static -- Today's post comes to via Petricia Verdes who sent us a couple of submissions for our blog on behalf of her client:  Author Ilie Cioara was an enlightened mystic who lived in Eastern Europe that penned 16 books describing the experience of meditation and enlightenment. In particular, the book – Silence of the Mind – offers a unique message on meditation and enlightenment. Ilie believes that by practicing the silence of the mind, through an all-encompassing attention, we discover and fulfill our innermost potential of becoming one with the divine spark that lies dormant within us. Silence of the Mind is the first volume in a series of his books that will be published by OBooks ( http://o-books.com ). Find out more via the blog ( http://thesilencebook.blogspot.com ) We hope you enjoy the following, by Ilie Cioara: In the whole Universe, there is nothing static, dead or frozen. Everything, but absolutely everything, is in eternal movem...

-- Laundry Lint -- I’d like to take some time today to respond to a few questions sent our way after a blog post earlier in October about dryer lint… First of all, front loading high efficiency washers use less water than standard washers – only 20-66% of the water is used with these newer models... depending on the settings that are chosen and the size of the load. I have learned that they are more gentle on clothing and fabrics, therefore the clothes will not wear out or stretch as easily as with other washers. And because the spin cycle is so efficient, one doesn’t need the dryer to work as hard (when the clothes line is not in use). October, being Fire Prevention Month is also a time of year traditionally when we experience a rise in the number of house fires. Dryer vent cleaning is so important… installing the dryer vents properly is key as well. So take a look at your dryer vent and see  if you have a coil plastic pipe leading to the exterior dryer v...
