Quote of the Day  "Don't ask yourself what the world needs.  Ask yourself what makes you come alive,  then go, and do that.  Because what the world needs  are people who have come alive."  ~  Howard Thurman Award-winning authors Dave & Lillian Brummet: Visit us on:  Twitter FaceBook LinkedIn Google http://BrummetMedia.ca (new site, under maintenance)

-- One Planet Lifestyle --  World Wildlife Fund  (WWF) is a well-known, international non-profit environmental organization that has proposed the “one planet lifestyle”   for today’s consumers. This means that with every purchase we individuals, those who work in businesses and households, we consider what kind of impact it has. We need to start asking ourselves as each penny is released from our accounts – “Will this purchase encourage a more sustainable, and socially responsible society?” For instance we might look at a product and notice that some of the competitors on the shelf have recycled content in the manufacturing process. Perhaps the packaging is not only recyclable, but is reusable… or possibly also made with recycled materials.

Quote of the Day   “Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts.

Quote of the Day  " I want a soul mate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don't already know, and make me laugh. I don't care what you look like, just turn me on. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will nibble your mukluks with my own teeth. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something in there."  ~ Henry Rollins Award-winning authors Dave & Lillian Brummet: Visit us on:  Twitter FaceBook LinkedIn Google http://BrummetMedia.ca (new site, under maintenance)
