Robert Rauschenberg is…surprise…an
artist who has done a lot of
pro-environment art, including
the first Earth Day poster in
1970. There’s a show in New York
City that opened yesterday, which
displays art he’s made that deals
with issues of global warming. If
you happen to be in the Big
Apple, check out more at Jacobson
Howard’s web site

You can tell that there’s a
cultural shift happening, when
“six degrees” no longer
means “six degrees of separation”
but “six degrees of global
warming.” Here’s a new book
out with that title, by science
writer Mark Lynas, on the
consequences of rising
temperatures. Lynas is also a
2006 National Geographic Emerging
Explorer.

YES, it is true! The organic
market is here every Saturday
from 7am to 1pm at the Giordino
Tropical.

Thanks to all the efforts of many
people and of course to our Eco
Director, Emiliana at the Harmony
Hotel.

I want to sing from the mountain
tops that I now can walk to an
organic market and buy yummy food
that is locally grown without the
use of all the chemical sprays.

Did anyone else read the news on
Bali’s coral reefs? They’ve
suffered incredible damage from
“rising temperatures and
destructive fishing methods.
” Now
scientists are trying to send
low-voltage electricity through
the corals, to “jolt” them back
alive. Let’s hope this won’t become
an experiment gone awry.

This is chocolate in its first
stage. Being picked as a fruit.
The white stuff in the middle is
edible and as you eat it, you
will discover you are eating
around seeds. These seeds are
cacao the stuff from which you
make: chocolate, cocoa butter,
and yes body scrubs..soon to come
to the healing centre.

A favorite drink amongst the
staff at the healing centre, the
juice from a coconut.
Comes in its own container,
leaves you with a snack inside
after eating.
It filters water, re-hydrates
your body, replenishes
electrolytes to name a few.
Raw foodists sing praises of this
drink.
Rastafarians often use it instead
of water when making rice..YUMMY!
There are many different flavours
to this ‘pipa’ depending on what
stage of growth the coconut was

We all know this story but this
presentation is done in a way
that is fair and without bias so
that it isn’t offensive. Allowing
one to come forth with their own
lottery ticket choice!

I’m now back at Harmony, working
on some creative water and
wastewater solutions. Our goal is
to bridge a greater connection
with water sustainability, that’s
assuring it’s integrity from
source to sink. We started with a
water audit, wow! The some-what
low tourist months of August/
October consumed nearly 300,000
gallons of water!

We have a great opportunity to
creatively implement solutions
integrating site collection
(rainwater) and re-use
