This week a friend sent me the link to a new online film by an expert on the materials economy and it took me a few days to click on it. I finally did because I wanted to clean up my email in-box, nothing more noble. Now I want to clean up my […]

An interesting piece of information has presented itself on 2 fronts this week. I’ve just finished watching David Attenborough’s series “Planet Earth” and am also reading “The One Hundred Year Lie” by Randall Fitzgerald. Both are addressing the fine line we and our planet are riding though from different perspectives.
“Planet Earth” is a glimpse at the […]

I’ve just spent the past weekend in Munich. What a great city. I was staying just round the corner from the Marienplatz - the huge outdoor pedestrian mall at the center of the down town area.
Munich offers the best of both worlds, small city charm with all the sights, shopping and conveniences of a large […]

I took this test to find out how toxic I was. Mildly toxic was the verdict although I do my best to avoid all things synthetic in our environment.
This got me thinking, I work as a health professional, have access to top quality products and information and pride myself on practicing what I preach. Most of […]

As reported last week the Federal Drug Administration in the US has decreed that over the counter cold, flu medications are no longer safe for our young children. The question is Why were they ever allowed in the first place? It seems that drug companies have been marketing these for years to the parents of children […]

After being in Santa Barbara, CA, for about a week we wanted to explore more of the US west coast. We decided to rent a car and drive to Nevada, Arizona and back to California to be in San Francisco for the Green Festival.
Driving through the different states from town to town was a really […]

It’s hard to travel without your pockets full of money, but at the same time it can be an adventure.
You constantly have to be creative in the way you travel - that means being creative about what to eat, were to sleep and how to get from one place to another. Another challenge is […]

I’ve got to say I was pretty astounded by this article. Australian multiple Olympic champion Grant Hackett has just been diagnosed with asthma but it’s the admission that at least a third of the current Australian swim team are asthmatics which is really shocking. Is anyone asking why?
Unfortunately a vast gap has developed between modern […]

I’ve just got back to Istanbul from a weeks travelling with work. 4 cities in 3 countries. Anyone who does it soon realizes that it sounds a lot more glamorous than the reality. Planes, airports and hotel rooms along with changing time zones can really take it out of you.
One of the big challenges […]

Last day in Lost Valley and tomorrow we say our goodbyes. Living in the woods for a month is now over and we have new places to explore.
The weather here in Lost Valley changed a lot while we’ve been here. From being very cold to be quite hot to very windy. People […]
