I have a great sense of freedom when I am liberated from material goods. I don't feel tied down or obligated to have lots of stuff.

I want to stream-line and get back to basics.

Do I really need all this stuff? I want to look at where it came from and why I thought I needed it. I also want to re-examine where it will go after I am done with it, and where it will end up.

This process will hopefully not only de-clutter my physical space, but also my mental space- what a nice feeling it will be when I can breathe in and not be suffocated by all this stuff!!

Ok, I know I'm late on this but... My 9 year old daughter is pushing hard on having a bin on the patio.

Some great products for storing your leftovers or lunch naturally.

I pledge to help the 260 housing co-ops in BC with over 14,000 households to find sources of funding to do green retrofits to reduce energy use and GHGs, and help make BC a world leader in environmental action from grassroots to business to government.

Why Clean Green? ..... because it matters!

We all grew up thinking chemical smells like bleach and ammonia signaled "clean." But some of the chemicals we use to maintain our homes are doing us and our families much more harm than good .............. author, expert and activist Deirdre Imus in Greening Your Cleaning.

At Eunike Living Green Cleaning Services, we use products that have been created in an environmentally responsible manner. We have carefully chosen products that are toxin-free. We provide smarter, safer alternatives to the many conventional chemical products even products that are organic and biodegradable which can not be swallowed or drunk.

What is holistic Pet Care?

Holistic pet care refers to caring for the "whole" pet. In other words, what is best for the whole pet? Too many doctors focus on just the specific problem at hand, trying to treat a specific problem rather than treat the whole pet or prevent disease.

Holistic care looks at the whole pet, including diet, nutritional supplements, preventive care, parasite control, grooming, and exercise. We don't overlook the whole pet and just focus in on one disease. Likewise, we don't neglect conventional therapies when they are indicated. If a pet needs surgery or a medication to get better, we can use these treatments. If the pet is better served with a complementary therapy, or a combination of conventional and complementary therapies, we take this approach. Holistic means being open-minded to what is in the best interest of the pet.

By combining both conventional therapies and complementary therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, and homeopathy, we can help the pet heal itself and stay healthy.

My family is disillusioned by the common North American lifestyle of rampant consumerism and wasteful energy consumption. Our long-term goal is to live off the grid, but in the meantime we have decided to life as simply and self-sustainably as possible in our current suburban surroundings.
