Brummet's Conscious Blog

-- Chatter -- Well, I'm exhausted. The research and outlines for the interviews airing on the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show in March are complete, registered, and early promotions are done. The Brummet's Muse Newsletter went out on the 15th... and about 15 things got knocked off our project list over the last week alone. While it feels good to have reached a point where I can take some time for other things today, it is with a slight tug in my heart - since there always seems to be so much more to do, and so many darn delays or obstacles to overcome.  This morning's rush is slowing down, now that the house and office are tidied, the dishwasher run, the laundry folded and the dogs taken care of  - I can finally focus on the blog. I have some seeds to order for the gardening, a workout, and a dozen emails yet to deal with this morning so I'll not chat here long... Let's start with the quote of the day - one that may help me today as well :) -- Quote of ...

In 2002 they launched an e-billing service that resulted in more than 100,000 of their residential customers getting bills through their e-mail. That is a big reduction in paper, envelopes, and fossi...

 -- Quote of the Day -- "Courage is the first of human qualities Because it is the quality which guarantees the others." ~ Aristotle -- Positive Eco-News --  Coca-Cola announced the launch of what it calls new  eco-friendly "green roof" beverage vending machines on September 15,  2010. By attaching green sheets containing a combination of a kind of  moss known as "sunagoke" and artificial turf onto the top of the machine,  the company expects to lower the unit's surface temperature and thereby reduce energy consumption by improving cooling efficiency. -- Conscious Living -- Communication is part of living consciously, easy to do on a personal level if you love writing - but not so easy to do from person to person. Asking questions and expressing what you really want will avoid misunderstandings and disagreements. Too often we just assume that the other person must know... but they probably don't. The English language in particular is so o...

-- Quote of the Day -- The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. ~ Marcus Aurelius -- Loving & Dancing in Life -- Today's special featured guest of the day is Cindy Tuttle - one poet who refills her pen with her heart and lets that flow onto paper. She says "I have a joy of life that I want to share", and tries to offer hope and encouragement in her work.

-- Quote of the Day -- “ Of the bio-fuels (we currently know of), I siezed on algae as being a reliable feed stock, it has the properties that has the ability to meet our requirements. …it can use brackish water, salt water… The productivity of the algae is such that it promises to yield more than other alternatives. ...Incubation is the first hurdle – the second one is growing to harvest without culture crashes. …The third one is harvesting the algae out of the water. The fourth is extracting the oil once you’ve harvested it. Algae can help us with our emission issues… capturing CO2 from the air using a design with sodium carbonate dissolved in water... and using a solar heater during the day, the CO2 is forced out in and piped to the algae. ”  ~ Ron Brown  Check out the full interview that aired back on Dec 21/'10, where this quote came from, via this hyper-linked title: Oil from Algae   or via the archive section either on our site: Brummet.ca   or on th...
