Living Simply Well, Community Building, and Eating Local and Eating Healing Meals” is our focus for the 2009 "Simply Healthy: Creating Sustainable Communities" Simply Living Fair and Wellness Expo, November 13-15th. Diana Leafe Christian, Editor of Communities Magazine and author, will help us take a closer look at community building by showing "Ecovillages: Where They Are, What They're Doing, Why They're Important". With over 400 photos, she will show why ecovillagers are devoted to developing these ecological settlements, how ecovillages are beneficially influencing the wider culture, and how ecovillages will most likely affect patterns of human settlement in the near future.

Hey, everyday is earth day. Please remember that each time you buy a product and have to throw away the excessive packaging or go to the gas pump and continue to squeeze the pump to inch up to the next cent.

Also, please keep in mind the amount of trash we have on our Indiana roads and highways. Take the time to pick up garbage when you take a walk in your neighborhood or witness someone throwing garbage on the ground.

What has happened to scouting programs where kids and adults would take time out to clean up? There is wonderful work that is being done by groups but there just seems to be garbage everywhere I look. Yes, one person can make a difference. Let us just now go out and make a difference in our yard, neighborhood, community, and the state of Indiana.

Last item - cigarettes create garbage too. Why do people continue to throw them on the ground, in parking garages and parking lots.

Okay, enough already I know.
Thanks for the forum.

I am a passionate environmentalist with moderate views and Nuclear energy is "green" in my mind.

While Nuclear is not technically renewable, it is from a practical risk analysis perspective pretty clean and if you include the new technology to reprocess and destroy the waste using Thorium, we have 100+ years of fuel left. Reactors are now "walk away safe" - They won't necessarily melt down anymore, we have 25 years of development since 3 Mile Island. Chernobyl was built with 35 year old technology.


This means we can shut down nasty coal plants and replace them with Nuclear and it buys our insurance policies until we get nano solar perfected and then it's ball game over. We need Thorium plants to get rid of the nuke waste anyways. It could be 2 years or 20 until thin film solar solves the world's energy problems. Who knows, if it is 2 we don't need the nuke and maybe it will be!

We (Grassroots Green of NE Indiana) published the Green Living Guide and we are now offering the guide free through sponsorship of John Steinbach, Agent with New York Life. It features people in NE Indiana who are making efforts to be more energy efficient and care for Earth and includes coupons that help others do the same. Let me know if you'd like to collect copies for your organization. Pam
