About Bedlish

Hey all there. I live in a south western corner of Ethiopia where large potential of natural forest housing diverse varieties of fauna and flora is  stuffed. In here, coffee arabica was discovered for the first time in the world. I at a moment is working in the zonal tourism promotion department as a project preparation expert and I feel the annual mindless consumption of this forest cover is irritating. As a tourism professional, I found the situation is fatal in this regard, I'm trying to work on environment conservation and entrepreneurship to help make my place is to be one of the best eco tourism center in  the world if I can find some one,an organization,or environment worker desighning a funding project proposal with. This as I propose will be happen as combining the terms of tourism philosophies of utilising,concerving and sustaining via creating optional economic operation around the localities to be carried out in association with the community around.

Sculpting snow dragons, reinstalling recycling, spinning webs for the WholEarth pharm school

yea, we are enjoying the snow!

 

Our community of homeschool families desire to live organically, striving to realize a sustainable future for the futures of our grandchildren.  In many ways, we are modeling the life we wish to realize through our daily choices and interactions, from buying local and organic, to gathering visioning festivities, and using human power to transport, create, and live.  We are motivated by the inspirations of children, the cries of humanity, the desire for holistic life, the energy of positive communication, and the sustaining of necessary life energy.  

 

Food and Water quality are key issues for our sustaining holistic health, and these issues are at the forefront of the World's greatest needs.  All people deserve health, and in that, the desire for the pursuit of happiness comes naturally.  If we are ill, we are unable to attain the tranquility of happiness.  When we find the way to healthy happiness, we become informed of our choices, and resonate with best choices possible.  This is the consciousness that is being realized throughout the world.  Moving away from genetically modified foods, contaminated water, processed and packaged foods, overconsumption and underuse of bought items, and consumerism; we may find the ways of the future sustainablity.

 

May we all find the way to live in loving action for now and always.

 

Peace be with you this New Year and always

Sustainability in Arizona?

      Would it surprise you to know that Arizona State University (ASU) in Phoenix Arizona is actively shaping the world of social responsibility and sustainability today? A university in the desert, ASU is faced, everyday, with sustainable challenges that, despite their daunting nature, do not prevent the capital city of Phoenix from being the fastest growing city in the US. Associated with this rapid development, ASU students and faculty helped design and implement, Tempe Town Lake. This two mile long water source helps address problems of water shortage and less the destructive flooding that occurs in Arizona during the rainy season. While ASU has always faced sustainability problems, ASU moved itself to the forefront of sustainability by opening the nations first School of Sustainability (SOS) last year. Offering everything from bachelors to doctorate degrees, SOS and ASU’s president, Michael Crow’s commitment to furthering social responsibility and environmental change in higher education, is effecting a positive change across the globe. Following its commitment to sustainability and change ASU’s president started a so-called University Climate Initiative. The initiative, which is close in scope to what some American mayors have tried to do, hopes to “get other university presidents to sign up for a series of renewable-energy objectives and carbon-emission objectives.”1 While being in the desert has led ASU to take on sustainability as a way to tackle some of its major challenges to development and growth, the entire world will benefit from the work that is being done at ASU in the future.
