BodyEarthSelf
- Where the body, the earth, and the "Self"
meet and work in harmony with each other. Learn how to maintain a harmonious
balance between the body, the earth, and the self. Resources, environmental
opportunities for fundraising and income, and wonderful products for helping
the environment and maintaining wellness with books, articles, essays, and
much more!
The
concept of Body Earth Self:
It's quite simple really, if we take care of our bodies and respect
them, then we will have respect for the Earth, our home. Because we are
not polluting our bodies we will not wish to pollute the Earth. As we
respect our bodies and the earth we have greater respect for ourselves or that
higher aspect of ourselves. It is not enough to say "respect your
earth". We must also respect the body as an extension of the earth.
Eartheasy
- How to reduce our impact on the environment. Simple,
practical solutions and alternatives to lifestyle and consumer choices.
E.G. Sustainable
Seafood
Some seafood choices are easier on the environment, and help protect
endangered species. You can help support sustainable fisheries by the choices
you make when buying seafood.

is concerned with issues that affect the lives of ordinary people and their
communities; from air and water pollution, food safety and climate change to
toxics, transportation and sustainable energy. Our goal is to inform and
inspire by providing up-to-date reporting, opinion and analysis, and tips and
tools for creating change.
