A Simple Idea: Why don’t we put Solar Panels on every roof tops in the USA. Imagine them on all the apartment buildings, offices and houses. And we could also put solar panels along the side of some highways and roads, as they do in some places in Europe.
Relatively Free Energy. It’s already here. We just need to capture it and use it. Energy Freedom. Energy Independence. Job creation. Job retraining for a modern world.
Let’s Go Green. Every Step Counts.

Founder,
Recently, I was watching a video with Tal Ben-Shahar PhD about happiness. I really liked it. One exercise that was recommended is to write down 5 things you are grateful for before going to bed at night. When you write down the things, try to imagine & experience them. They can be anything you choose, even ice-cream. See the link below for a link to the results of research on doing this exercise.
-Check-out books and a DVD by Tal Ben-Shahar on happiness.

Should You Add More Vegetarian Meals to Your Diet? Be A Vegan? Do Your Food Choices Make an Impact on the Environment? Looking for Some Vegetarian Recipes? Do You Want to Make a Conscious Decision? Do You Want to Eat Healthier Foods? Do You Want to Learn About Foods You May Never Have Heard About?
Alicia Silverstone, actor and vegan, has written, The Kind Life. The book discusses her views on being a vegan and the larger societal context of the way we treat animals, and how our food choices impact the environment and our health.
As someone who is edging closer to being a vegetarian, I found the book to be great. But, the the book is useful for anyone looking to add more vegetarian/vegan meals to their diet, by showing simple steps to take to achieve this. And for those wishing to go vegan, the book will serve you well. Check-out the recipes and the suggestions for substitutions in recipes.
Additionally, the author discusses her views on being a vegan and the impact on our lives and the world. This is good because whether or not you share this point of view, we all need to make conscious decisions. The book also profiles health pioneers who espouse similar viewpoints and other’s living “the kind life,” such as a body builder who is a vegan.
For me, I found the book really helpful because it introduced me to a host of different foods that I knew little about, as well as recipes to incorporate these foods and foods that I currently eat.
So, whether you are looking to go vegan or just to add some more vegetarian meals to your diet, whether you agree or disagree with the views expressed in the book, or just want to make conscious decisions, the Kind Life is a realy good book to check-out.

A while back, I viewed the movie, Crazy Sexy Cancer, by Kriss Carr. I thought it was really interesting; she changed her lifestyle to survive cancer. (She also fell in love and married her cameraman. Cool!) (I think I should make a movie on a different subject; I will need a camera-women! LOL.)
A really memorable statement that she makes is, Food is your Medicine. I have been keeping this in mind as I try to improve my own diet. If I am willing to pay $5 for a desert, I certainly can pay a bit more for better quality and healthier foods.
Kriss Carr has also written books and has a website and blog.
Additionally, I really like the book, Anticancer, by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD. The author, also a cancer survivor, has written about foods and habits that can help one to survive cancer or prevent it. An updated edition has just recently been released.
And I really like the book, Healthy at 100, by John Robbins. It looks at the diets and habits of the longest living peoples on Earth. (See also, The Blue Zones, by Dan Buettner and www.bluezones.com)

I recently started eating WaterCress. I bought a hydroponically grown one that still had its roots intact. It is great; it has a spicy flavor and I really like it. I bought it at Whole Foods. I think a hydroponically grown product can be a good alternative if you can’t find an organic product or the organic product is too expensive.
And I have been eating Pea Shoots. I like them, too. I get them from Trader Joe’s. Organic and Yummy.
I Found these website via a google search:
www.watercress.com and www.peashoots.com.
A few other products that I have been eating are ground flaxseeds, organic pure cocoa, cinnamon, chia seeds, ginger, and been making some cool tea mixes.
I guess, “Go Green” has a dual meaning.
Enjoy!
