Shopping in bulk and reusing bags and plastic bottles helps you buy a pinch or a pound of your favorite coffees, granolas, olives, nuts, flours, olive oils, miso, chocolate, rice, beans, and the list goes on.

Our new cotton canvas tote bags are in! These environmentally-friendly bags can help you go green. Purchase one for the bargain price of just $3 and use it for everything from books to groceries. It's plenty roomy and very durable and requires no petroleum-based products to manufacture.
This old van was never driven by our family. I dont know why we have it. It is one of those old ones with the bed in the back. Well dad modified it. It is now being used for the storage of his lumber. As you can see two particularly long pieces have poked all the way through :)
I absolutely love this capture. May be because of the orange and black colours: two colours I’ve always loved especially when they got mixed together.
About a year ago every time I went to pray I felt uneasy, like something was missing. I think I knew what it was but I ignored it thinking, “Is this really from God?” But after few weeks I decided that’s it: I was going to do something about it!
The problem was that I didn’t take very good of the environment, and that bothered me a lot. Mind you, I never throw garbage in public places; since my childhood my mom had taught me to carry my garbage with me until I come across a garbage bin or even take it all the home with me and throw it in the garbage bin at home. I always turn off the lights and electronics when I don’t need them. But I felt that there is much more to do.
So I bought one of those recycle bins from Wal-Mart and I’ve been recycling my papers and soft drinks cans ever since. But there is more you can do. For example, even though at times in Canada it seems to be cheaper and more convenience to just buy a new printer full of ink rather than buy new ink cartridges for the old printer, I always keep in mind that printers are not recycled and that they are not degradables. They just end up in the garbage landfills…pretty much forever.
And when I have to get rid of electronics I usually open them and take from their insides what I like such as gears, buttons, light bulbs, wires, and so on. This reduces the harmful materials that will end up in the soil and damage the environment. Electronics such as monitors, or computers, I usually pass them down to a family member or a friend who may need them; this way, it will take undegradable materials more time before they reach the landfills.
Growing in the 90s in Iraq while Iraq was under economical sanctions taught me a lot about how to appreciate basic things, how to maintain them and be content with what I have, and how to reuse things. Many times while I wait at the bus stop I see not finished drinks or half eaten sandwiches lying on the side walk, and remember Iraq in the 80s. A family then used to cook as if they were three families, and if the food does not finish that’s ok they just threw it in the garbage. Then the 90s came and people learned what it is like to be a family of three members but have food for only one person.
This behaviour is displayed in Canada too. I see people who actually never ever turn off their TVs! An when they go to sleep they simply mute the volume! Some people don’t turn off the lights after they leave the room, and then they leave the house for hours with the lights still on! I had a friend in high school who told me that he never turned off his computer even when he was in school! This attitude of ‘easy come easy go’ is so prevalent; sadly not only with material possessions but sometimes even with relationships and people God has put in our lives.
This big windmill that generates electricity reminded of the topic about saving the environment if not for us, at least for our kids and their kids. If not for them, then at least to please God because He has entrusted us with working the earth--not destroying the earth--and made us masters over all other creatures. As God’s children we should be first in doing so.
PS: after I started recycling papers and soft drinks cans that uneasiness in my prayers went away.

Pacific View Elementary School was closed a number of years ago due to changing demographics in its coastal Encinitas neighborhood. It's been vacant - and deteriorating - ever since, as the school district and community debate the site's future.
I created the news section of this website that integrated into their site design and navigation.

Give our take a couple minutes here and there for operator error. That's how long it took to shred, sort, and store (find room to store) my first Mega Creation, Angles of Light.
