Approaching the Collapse: Don’t Panic, Go Organic

girl watering

So-called “business as usual” is neither sustainable, nor even possible, for much longer. Out-of-control energy corporations, Wall Street, the Pentagon, agribusiness/biotech corporations, and indentured politicians have driven us to the brink. They tell us: don’t worry; trust the experts, things will soon return to “normal.” But reality and common sense tell a different story. Read more:

Obama Goes All Out For Dirty Banker Deal | Rolling Stone Politics | Taibblog | Matt Taibbi on Politics and the Economy

It is really unfortunate that Obama has so dupped his constituents going for big campaign contributions rather than doing what is best for the country.  Maybe he thinks it is the only way out of this dilemma, I don’t know.  But certainly just slapping the wrists of the people that committed such massive fraud on the American people is a trvesty of justice not being served.

Happiness: Woman Has Not Used Money In 15 Yrs

I have often wondered if we really need money and if the world would work better with out it.  I know this is a radical idea in our American Dream Get Rich Quick Instant Gratification Culture where we feel we need money to be happy.   But I have heard of people who live with very little or no money and through either a self sufficient lifestyle or a simplified lifestyle feel they are much happier than when they were in the “Rat Race.’  Now with our infinite growth paradigm starting to collapse it is wonderful to see pioneers such as this woman in Germany. What do you think? Can you see a way you could live without money or with much less?

Washington, D.C. & Alpine, UT / PRBuzz / July 12, 2011 – – Planetary Streams and reen PolkaDot Box™ founder Rod Smith today announced his partnership with Citizens for Health, a nonprofit pioneer in the natural health freedom movement, to offer consumers with a social purpose an online natural foods shopping alternative.

According to Jim Turner, for the last 19 years Citizens for Health has been a nonprofit pioneer in the natural health freedom movement.  Citizens for Health (CFH), believes that sound health is the vital foundation of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and is itself a fundamental human right. CFH believes now is the time to demand access to healthy food, alternative and complimentary medicines, and nontoxic products for our families.

Their partnership with Rod Smith of the Green PolkaDot Box is an aspect of fulfilling their mission.  They are proud to offer this new store front Green PolkaDot Box as a holistic aggregate place for people to shop.

“Citizens for Health is pleased to offer its members the ability to buy their favorite products with a social purpose,” said Jim Turner, founder of Citizens for Health.  “The Green PolkaDot Box™, our natural foods online affiliate store, will give Citizens for Health consumers to shop for the healthiest alternatives at lower prices and support citizens for health.”

The Green PolkaDot Box™ (“GPDB”) is a membership club that helps consumers combine their purchasing power to bargain directly with manufacturers and growers for the best pricing on organic, natural and other healthy food products.  The GPDB mission is to offer products that meet specific dietary needs, whatever they may be.  Green PolkDot Box™ hopes to become the leading authoritative source for our members who suffer from food allergies, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, obesity and other health maladies.

“We are proud to offer the Citizens for Health organization the best pricing on organic foods and holistic products,” said Rod Smith, founder of the Green PolkaDot Box.   “For those dedicated to eating Raw, Living Foods, Vegan or vegetarian, dairy or sugar-free, the Green PolkaDot Box membership will deliver a wonderful variety of the living foods you love for less.”

The Green PolkaDot Box™ does not carry any products that contain harmful ingredients, including foods that are known to be genetically modified.  It only carries products that are believed represent the highest quality and value.  GPDB has done the homework and research for its Members. But company management is willing to listen and improve its performance and product selection anytime.   GPDB’s goal is to pass through to its Members all the cost savings possible, and to create opportunity for them to share the savings with others.

The Green PolkaDot Box™ is an online membership club that provides to Citizens for Health members the lowest pricing on organic, natural and other healthy food products through partnerships that garner the best pricing from manufacturers and growers. The GPDB annual membership includes both a “club” or “reward” membership; the later offering a referral rewards program to help consumers earn their healthy food purchases.

German Village Achieves Energy Idependence +

It is encouraging to see people creating really sustainable systems. The little farming village of Wildpoldsried produces 321 percent more energy than it needs and is generating $5.7 million in annual revenue — a remarkable accomplishment for a modest farming community that has been able to invest in new municipal infrastructure without going into debt.
