One more thing

Because I love blogging I am still here finding stuff and I came across this while going over the story of stuff which if you haven't seen I'll just post it, but there is a collection of lovely story of things that helps to give perspective on the massive amount of "stuff, that our society is acumulating and some of the cause and effects of why these things happen" Anyway As a women, that loves the bath and worked in the beauty indistry for over 5 years I can confidently say that it leaves a lot to be desired as to how these companies provide products without the care to why we would need such stuff or if it is good for us to begin with, does this really make you more beautiful? hmmmmmmm.

GreenFest today and Tomorrow hooray!

After a wonderous chat with Dr. Kevin insert Irish last name on last weeks show regarding Greenfest. It is here the wonderful weekend of greenerific things and people all being very good about not being stupid.... wait green is good and it is a little harder up front but the benefits are better. I feel it. will update soon with all my takeaways from the show maybe even some live blogging oh this technology thing. I typed think then deleted but maybe that is what I meant, after all I am thinking at my keyboard sharing my thoughts to you, great unknown. Lets see what happens!

Vac from the Sea - Electrolux collects plastic from the oceans



I can't think of a better standard to start for all the plastic making companies and consumers should demand.

Food Farm Solution - Looks exactly like Nature! Tastes Good too.

I have never been able to get this Ted talk out of my head. It is always such a simple thing, and so strange that as a culture in America we are always trying to reinvent the process to create something "easier"or "more efficient" Can anything be more efficient than nature? And if it was, wouldn't it naturally replace what wasn't? Food For Thought. (in best  David Caruso voice)

Passing up the Shopping Trip

All my life I have always loved a good find.  Part of being an artist and just generally enjoying self expression through stuff is a 2nd nature. Yet if you pause it is a cultural nature that demands expression and this is manipulated into consumerism which can then be packaged as disposable. How can you be a passionate and evolving person without the constant accumlation of stuff? not easily.  Breaking the cycle  might start at appreciating and reinventing what you have. When it is time to let go, let go clearing the decks for the new is much healthier than collecting the newest must have. Sometimes life happens and pure inspiration comes in strange places and the Universe offers trophies (rewards) for a job well done, if you feel you are worthy than trust in the Gift.
