Getting Quiet This is the 3rd installment of a small advice series for the blog that will focus on tips to bring quiet and calm to daily life...  In the first Getting Quiet post we asked you to start with a very simple task... be aware of moment to moment interactions, thoughtfully consider those moments that stand out for you each day and your reaction to those moments. And the second task was to add a list of 5 unique  things you really feel grateful for upon waking up in the morning and again another list of 5 things you are grateful for in the evening.  The trick to training the mind is repetition - and small successes - that is why we are doing these tasks every day and in small doses. So with becoming more aware about our daily life, comes the heightened awareness of our emotional reactions. Sometimes, that can feel a bit disturbing. We might not like what we see. We might relive those emotions we felt earlier. We might not know what to do with i...

Save Green By Living Green See part 1 of this article, HERE ...con't... We can Reduce how much we buy beyond the first 4 R’s listed above by considering just how much we really need. For instance, we might purchase an item in smaller amounts in the bulk section, or in larger family sizes and save money at the same time. By incorporating small changes like reduce waste like reusable, refillable refreshment cups and bottles we not only reduce waste, but also save a lot of money because we are no longer purchasing items at a higher cost, and we save money in related waste collection services as well. Reuse is a wonderful way to extend the budget – reusing containers, bags, boxes and so on, instead of purchasing those items new every time. Repurpose is similar except that we alter the item for reuse. A good example here is cutting a yogurt container into strips, making one end pointed, and using them as plant tags. You can make 8-10 of these from on...

Save Green - By Living Green  *Here, you'll find a 2-part article that breaks down some of the many R's of waste management. Look for the second part of this article via: Zero Waste Initiatives aim to create a more sustainable society by seeing “waste” as a resource that creates jobs and stimulates the economy. It is also one of the fastest, cheapest and most effective strategies for combating climate change. Did you know that as much as 82% of the materials in landfills are recyclable, reusable or compostable? Imagine if we found a way to help everyone in every community reduce that number to next to nothing! It would save cities millions of dollars in landfill related costs and create thousands of new jobs. If we could achieve this in the US alone, the environmental savings would be equivalent to closing 21% of the US coal-fired power plants. The most common R’s in Zero Waste , in the order they should be implemented are: Rent, Repair, Repurpose, Refuse, Recons...

Quote of the Day ©BrummetMedia.ca "It's difficult to view the world outside our human context.  Staying alive and paying the bills both require our attention squarely fixed on our own business.  Our sprawling cities and suburbs are wonderful and frightening tributes to creative self-absorption.  In them, we spend our micro-scheduled days bustling between work and the endless details of our private lives, turning in our moments of rest to the buzzing distractions of television and computers — all accelerating toward some ultimate, unseen fulfillment of convenience and hyperreality.  Little encourages us to pause and look around, much less question the end goal of all our busyness.  Anything slower than the quick cuts of TV commercials is overwhelmed by our impatience and short attention.  Unfortunately, we might be missing something important — to our happiness and t...
