What is Your Water Footprint? Mindfulness about a Precious Resource

In the very public discussion about global warming, a lot of emphasis is placed on the effect of Carbon Dioxide emissions. This is fitting since our fossil fuel-heavy lifestyles are the main contributors to global warming. However, another aspect of fallout from our lifestyles is the pollution and disappearance of many water resources. Thankfully, there are people with their eyes on this indicator, as well. As a point for deeper reflection on how we are living and how it is affecting other life forms on the planet, we ask: What is your water footprint?


Obstacle or Opportunity: You Choose!

When we face difficulties in life, Dahn Yoga practice helps us to develop the strength and discipline to master the situation. Our Dahn Yoga training reminds us that true happiness is found inside. No matter the circumstances, our happiness is something we choose. We can find happiness not as a response to our circumstances but from the ineffable energy source within us all.


Green Ideas: Bringing a Bag Makes Cents

Plastic bags cost us a lot in the energy used to make them and in the space and energy required for their presence in landfills. Plastic bags end up as litter that fouls the landscape, and kill thousands of marine mammals every year that mistake the floating bags for food. Plastic bags that get buried in landfills may take up to 1,000 years to break down, and in the process they separate into smaller and smaller toxic particles that contaminate soil and water. Furthermore, the production of plastic bags consume millions of gallons of oil that could be used for fuel and heating.
