<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Aaah winter. So pretty. It covers up all of the garbage.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, now that the snow is melting away, all of that litter is re emerging. There just seems to be so much of it this time of year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I got so sick of it one spring a few years ago that I did what the average engaged citizen would do. I complained. I wrote a letter to express my distaste over the amount of trash that was trashing up my neighbourhood.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And you know what that accomplished?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Nothing.</b> <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nada.</span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Zip.</span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Zilch.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Hmmph! Well, I never!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What I did next might shock you <b><i>(reader discretion advised)</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">I cleaned it up myself!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Yup, garbage all garbagy, neighbourhood all cleany.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The thing is, I cared enough about it that I wanted to change it. So I figured I might as well do it myself because complaining wasn't doing anything except littering people's ears with garbage talk.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At first I remember hiding my garbage bag when people drove by. What would they think of me picking up garbage?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But I realized I wouldn't think twice about picking up garbage on my lawn. And this community is our collective lawn.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Being a steward to our community and our environment is a good deed, and adds value to everyone's lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So if the trash is bugging you, grab a bag and be proud to be a steward. You could even host a community clean up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Did you know you can adopt your road, and the city will help you with supplies and landfill fee's? Check out your local service centre for details, or right <a href="http://www.city.kawarthalakes.on.ca/environment/adopt-a-road-program" target="_blank">here</a>. You even get a fancy sign!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Bags and all film plastic need to be put into one bag and tied tight, when it is loose it is hard to sort and gets caught in all the machinery so much of it wont be recycled.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cleaning your recycling is the best thing to do, but rinsing it or at the minimum removing the food from it is what is needed- if you are sending your containers dirty- they are NOT being recycled. <i>The number one culprit- peanut butter containers.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The machinery that sorts the recycling is done by weight, so if a water or pop bottle has liquid in it the machinery is not able to sort it properly and thus rendering the bottle not recyclable! Another reason to remove lids!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>Some other things I noticed and questions that were answered...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Q. </span></b><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why cant we put our container recycling in plastic bags? </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">A.</span></b><span style="font-size: large;"> Because things get caught in the bags and then do not get recycled and can cause the machinery to malfunction. Also unfortunately allot more garbage gets put in with the recyclables when it is bagged, making allot more materials unrecoverable, and is also a health and safety issue for the employees- remember the rat thing!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Q. </span></b><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why don't we have a green bin program in Kawartha Lakes?</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>A. </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Kawartha Lakes does not have the quantity of green waste to offer a program like this. The facilities needed to process green bin waste are expensive to build and require a certain amount of material to support them financially. City staff are constantly in talks with other municipalities to try and make a project like this go forward, but unfortunately they are not there yet- they encourage residents to compost in their backyards.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the glass pile I noticed a ton of can lids (the ones you use a can opener to get off). The glass pile goes to Guelph and is sorted more thoroughly- now I don't know if those lids eventually get recycled but I do know that more sorting and transporting equals more resources needed to recycle that product- so from now on when I open a can I will leave it attached so that the lid will remain with the can and has a better chance of being recovered.</span></span><br />

and personal care products that are not filtered out by municipal waste water

negative impacts on our natural eco systems.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ever wonder where to donate your gently used items in Kawartha Lakes?</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is everything you need to know...you can even choose your favourite cause! The one thing all of these organizations have in common is that if things are dropped off that are not working or in poor condition- they have to pay to dump it, so please <a href="http://sogreenithurts.blogspot.ca/2016/01/3-ways-we-are-donating-all-wrong.html" target="_blank">donate properly.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>What do you mean nobody wants my 30 year old toaster??</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are de cluttering after Christmas chances are you are taking a trip to your favourite local thrift shop to donate some pre loved goodies, but are you helping them? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is two pet peeves from staff at my favourite thrift shop, the <a href="http://thriftstore.ca/central-ontario/fenelon-falls" target="_blank">Salvation Army in Fenelon Falls.</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>Thrift Store Rejects</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you wouldn't buy it, they cant sell it. If your like me you hate to send anything to the dump, but if your sending trash to the donation box, they have to pay for it to be sent to the dump, so please only send resealable items to the donation bin. Textiles are the exception here, tired old clothes and linens can be bailed and sold in bulk to be recycled. Put all unworthy textiles in a separate bag and mark it as rags.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>Hoarding Stuff From The Seventies</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Another complaint from Rachel, the manager, is that people hold onto things for too long. Sure outdated thing <i>sometimes</i> come back into popularity but her wish is that people would share so things have a better chance of having a second life with a new owner. A good rule of thumb is that if you have not used or worn it in the past year, time to get rid of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>Sneaky Midnight Drop Off's</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This one is my pet peeve. The last time I visited the Salvation Army it was pouring rain and their was an employee picking up a bag of soaking wet clothing someone had left behind during off hours, <i>otherwise known as hours they do not accept donations</i>. Do you think they took the time to dry this stuff out to save it for resale- probably not, it probably went to dumpster along with that 30 year old toaster. If your in a jam and have to get rid of stuff off hours search out a donation box- conveniently located in at least one parking lot somewhere in your town. To find a location click <a href="http://www.diabetes.ca/how-you-can-help/clothesline/find-a-clothesline-drop-box">here.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-size: xx-large;">I had an enlightening moment last year- I discovered that people can be toxic.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2jOKCMmOUCh73Sur9e0ak71HCI__EQQWI6bukSz0M_EFm-zKnxav-iJPK1FUQfLmOa9T1Zc2nsqKOHevdnV2gqqF5HrCAXo8LJrJWs3z1CkGcpEBHRIz0hZ6ZacqRtpeh2K4hCCJUr7F/s1600/The+double+edged+sword+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="83" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2jOKCMmOUCh73Sur9e0ak71HCI__EQQWI6bukSz0M_EFm-zKnxav-iJPK1FUQfLmOa9T1Zc2nsqKOHevdnV2gqqF5HrCAXo8LJrJWs3z1CkGcpEBHRIz0hZ6ZacqRtpeh2K4hCCJUr7F/s640/The+double+edged+sword+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Someone who has nothing nice to say about anything, including their best friends and people they love. They attract all sorts of bad interactions, bad friendships, and dramatic feuds. They make you feel drained, think bad things about yourself, and can even spread their toxicity to you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I realized there was this type of person it was a huge weight off of my shoulders because I realized that I could have this happy life where I didn't feel criticised, where I was surrounded by people who loved and supported me and didn't say or even think bad things about me- once I cut out the toxic people in my life, or at least limited my time with them, and understood they were that way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjauxGwIMn9zcfIC58PmjBvxyAThlWpibB0p47cJndI5MH7zFmdB4iEqn2jFVeszqHctuKxD5BB_LexzFZvsVRu41Lt8tXz9DQRW_1fFIMaAegnJ0_5Lt_4G1vxq_ZsqUYBgEvJ4-qhrAz_/s1600/The+double+edged+sword.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="84" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjauxGwIMn9zcfIC58PmjBvxyAThlWpibB0p47cJndI5MH7zFmdB4iEqn2jFVeszqHctuKxD5BB_LexzFZvsVRu41Lt8tXz9DQRW_1fFIMaAegnJ0_5Lt_4G1vxq_ZsqUYBgEvJ4-qhrAz_/s640/The+double+edged+sword.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This was also a sad process for me. Not only did I realize I have some of these toxic traits, and I have failed interactions and friendships in the past (I can think of a time when I stood in front of a whole group of people talking shit about someone, yup a real dick move) but also how much of it is out there, and being a quasi compassionate person naturally; trying to let go of these people makes me feel sad- I don't want to hurt them. Also now that I'm aware I'm really sensitive to it- I notice it right away in people and I can see how unattractive it is to be a negative Nelly. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not saying it is easy to let go of negative thought patterns or that all of a sudden I'm a perfect person- I have still failed friendships and interactions with people since I realized this, but the more I become aware of mine and other people's thought process the more I can work on being a better person and having better relationships with people. I also want to say that you should not give up on toxic people all together, after all they are hurt too and maybe you can spread some positivity into their lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm sharing this personal story because I want the people in my life (including the readers of this blog) to feel supported and loved, free from judgements- and if I'm toxic, or spending time with toxic people I cannot offer that to people, nor will I get it back. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Compassion and respect for different values is something we have lost touch with- we instead focus on success, having more money, having more stuff- but does having all of that really enhance our lives? Nope- having meaningful relationships with people does.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">"Let us be protectors of creation, protectors of one another, and the environment" </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;">-Pope Francis</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Since Christmas is originally about Jesus Christ I thought it appropriate to share this quote. As we prepare for the busiest holiday of them all we can prepare also to reduce our waste- a big part of protecting our environment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>Here is a list of wasteful items found at the holiday feast and they're zero waste alternatives.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Paper plates and plastic utensils</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Use regular dishes and utensils, if you do not have enough, grab a set really cheap at the Salvation Army, and if you don't have room in the cupboard for sets of extra plates throw them in a box and stash them away until the next family dinner, even if you are not hosting next time you could offer to bring them, reducing waste over and over again!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Paper napkins and paper towels</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Use washable napkins and tea towels, you know the fancy napkins are sitting in the drawer for special events, well this is their time to shine!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-size: xx-large;">Saran wrap, Tinfoil, and ziplock baggies</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Use tupperwear and cooking dishes with lids, you could also invest in reusable cake/pie trays or bigger tupperwear pieces for these types of occasions. I grabbed a corning wear dish with a glass lid for roasting vegetables at the Salvation Army for $4!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-size: xx-large;">Plastic trays from pre cooked foods</b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Use reusable containers and take them to shop at a local bakery/butcher. If you do end up buying some save them for next time or fill them with your own home cooked goods. The same goes for chocolate too, find a local chocolate maker- your gonna thank me for this one, you will never eat factory chocolate again!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Don't forget your cloth bags and try to not use produce bags- I know that allot of people are uncomfortable with this idea, so just try it for produce that you cut the skin off to eat (squash, melons, bananas, ect..)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You might have allot of this stuff kicking around or you might have to invest a few bucks, but for every pound of plastic refused or reused we save a pound of climate pollution from entering our air!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I 'Martha Stewart-ed ' this Christmas tree at the </span><a href="http://thriftstore.ca/central-ontario/fenelon-falls" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Salvation Army in Fenelon Falls</a><span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Real talk</i>- It is definitely missing something. I could tell you that the picture doesn't do it justice, or that I was leaving that last final touch to your imagination, but the truth is I made the super smart decision to attempt this with my 1.5, and 3 year old- big thanks to the staff who put up with us for this endeavour<b> to show the world how much quality, nice, clean, Christmas décor second hand stores have.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The amount of Christmas stuff at this location is insane, I could have decorated 10 trees with just the stuff available for purchase, (tree's included) not including the 6 plus skids yet to be sorted in the back.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>The point I'm trying to make is </b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBtWcdGvb8PVovd6hiqAVn6NfqQLuEs_aKogceDybt4bQ-9Kr9vKaskRpeYiNm9n3UtOiobOjDT-AjPTMWhBDjRvIw6rO8o76ggDBTu8zYJIDxW3Bb8Vv8Z9a0qgGpRi1b6UlJIq8S-v3M/s1600/There+is+enough.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBtWcdGvb8PVovd6hiqAVn6NfqQLuEs_aKogceDybt4bQ-9Kr9vKaskRpeYiNm9n3UtOiobOjDT-AjPTMWhBDjRvIw6rO8o76ggDBTu8zYJIDxW3Bb8Vv8Z9a0qgGpRi1b6UlJIq8S-v3M/s640/There+is+enough.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The resources and pollution that go into making and shipping all of this plastic décor is terrible for our environment, and by environment- I mean our health. Equally as harmful is this stuff sitting in a landfill breaking down for 500 years after we are through with it, and you know that is where it ends up eventually.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><b>We need this earth more than we need Christmas décor for one month a year, and reducing our consumption of new goods is one of the most powerful things we can personally do to reduce our footprint on this place we call home.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Consider shopping second hand next time you need anything- you are going to be so surprised how much quality used merch is at these places. My favourite for selection and price in Kawartha Lakes is the giant <a href="http://thriftstore.ca/central-ontario/fenelon-falls" target="_blank">Salvation Army Thrift Store in Fenelon Falls</a>. </span>(check out all of the amazing stuff this organization does<a href="http://thriftstore.ca/central-ontario/salvation-army-thrift-store-faqs" target="_blank"> here</a>)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The <a href="http://www.davidsuzuki.org/sign-up/?gclid=CIPCm5ntpskCFZY0aQodh-gBHw" target="_blank">David Suzuki Foundation</a> has identified a list called the Dirty Dozen. Ingredients found in household cleaners and personal care products that are not filtered out by treatment plants or septic systems and go directly back into our water table, adversely effecting the whole natural system of our lakes. Switching to 'eco' labelled soaps, detergents, cleaners, and personal care products is one of the best ways to keep chemicals out of our water. These products have gone way down in price and way up in effectiveness in the last few years. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hate weeds in the lake? Don't they just seem to keep getting worse? That is because fertilizers used on lawns take their natural course into our water table and make their way into the lake, feeding the weeds, not just your grass. Also weed killers kill off beneficial organisms and pollute natural systems. Check out these <a href="http://eartheasy.com/grow_lawn_care.htm" target="_blank">natural lawn</a> care ideas. Consider a <a href="http://www.kawarthaconservation.com/stewardship/on-the-shore" target="_blank">natural shoreline </a>if you have a lake front property- everybody is doing it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing goes better with fishing (or most lakeside activities) than beer and smokes, but just as smoking is bad for us, butt's are bad for the water- makes sense right, you wouldn't drink a beer after it had a butt in it, so why would we want our fish swimming around in it. It isn't just butt's being thrown directly into the lakes either, it is littering butt's anywhere. In the city streets they make their way into the storm water that in most cases is untreated and heads right back to the lake. Same idea in the country only they travel with the water in the ditch. Use an ashtray in your car, your fish hut, your dock, and your pocket if needed- and don't blame anybody else when there is not an ashtray, it is still your garbage. 1 cigarette butt contaminates 1 litre of water!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was out with my kids in Bobcaygeon and of course the morning had taken me too long and my kids were getting 'hangry'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I ordered some food to go and grabbed a muffin to distract the kids while waiting. Instead of being distracted one of them rolled around on the floor, got muffin everywhere, and was pretty much acting like a drunk uncle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I felt like the other people in the cafe were thinking "oh my god handle your kids". Then I realized- no they are not, they are probably thinking "I remember those days, she has her hands full". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They were sharing compassion with me, not judging me. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was the one who decided how to feel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Since then I have been training my brain to think differently and in turn my interactions with people everywhere have been improving dramatically. Here is 3 things I do now to not feel judged.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I saw a documentary once about a man who travelled from India to spread good karma (and brought us yoga). He travelled from India to Canada to spread good karma!! Can you imagine the interactions he had with people? If you set an intention like that before you go into any type of situation the results are going to be positive!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Every time a negative thought about someone or a situation comes into my head - I think 3 good things about them.

years ago.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria (Theme Body)', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It
was a Sunday afternoon, and my husband and I were out fishing on our old tin
boat in the south end of Sturgeon Lake near the floating cottages. On this day
a family of ducks came to say hello and as we watched the baby ducks we noticed
one scoop up a cigarette but into his mouth. Oh no, what will happen to that
baby duck after eating a butt? Will he die? Then the baby spit the butt out-
phew. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria (Theme Body)', serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">I
wondered- why is there a cigarette butt floating in our lake?<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria (Theme Body)', serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Then
it dawned on me. <o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria (Theme Body)', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Me-
that's how!</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria (Theme Body)', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I
have been an on and off smoker since I was a teenager, a terribly hard habit to
kick, and even though I would never litter and cared about the environment I
threw my butts out the window of my truck. Maybe because my truck didn’t come
with an ashtray? Maybe because the butt is so small that I didn’t think it was
litter? I don’t know why. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria (Theme Body)', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">At
that moment I visualized the butt landing on the shoulder, eventually making
its way to the ditch, that then flowing into the lake that I love so much.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Cambria (Theme Body)', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">From
that day on I had an ashtray in my truck and if I was out and there was no
ashtray I put it out and put it in my pocket- from that day on it was my
garbage and my responsibility.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Lot's of people are asking about it- let me tell you it is one of the biggest changes I have made on my green journey. It is weird, it is completely different, and it gets lots of compliments.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I have not shampoo'd my hair in a 5 months and it looks beautiful. In the years since I switched to natural/organic body care I have searched for the best shampoo and conditioner for my hair, never realizing that the packaging of these products effects the health of the environment and in turn my health- so I set out to reduce my packaging waste and the <a href="http://www.nopoomethod.com/" target="_blank">'no poo' </a>method fit in perfectly (and did not require me to start up a shampoo lab in my house.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.nopoomethod.com/">http://www.nopoomethod.com/</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Frequently asked questions...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you need exlax?</span><br />
No, not that kind of poo,<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Does it stink?</span><br />
No, actually the baking soda has a nice fresh smell.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How did you do it?</span><br />
I started washing my hair with baking soda and apple cider vinegar every other day. 1/4 cup of baking soda to a 1 cup of water. 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to 1 cup of water.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How long did it take before worked?</span><br />
Solidly- 2 months. The transition period is a bit painful but once you get used to it (if it works for you) it has great results. I had to mess around with the solution a bit to get it right.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Is you hair greasy?</span><br />
When it gets greasy it needs to be washed.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Con's</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Your hair literally feels like grease all the way to the tips when it is wet- it is a very different washing and brushing experience and it completely transforms the texture of your hair.</li>
<li>You will have to get used to the way it holds different styles.</li>
<li>Your brush is pretty much disgusting, washing it doesn't help.</li>
<li>Have you ever pet a dog and have a dirty hand after, that is almost what happens when you brush dry hair daily.</li>
<li>It is not sudsy washing so you just have to put the mixture in and smush it around.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pro's (in my experience)</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>No split ends..</li>
<li>Looks amazing.</li>
<li>Does eventually get soft.</li>
<li>Holds styles very well.</li>
<li>Eventually you only need to wash it once a week.</li>
<li>Saves money not having to buy products. (ps I still use hair spray if I need to- just leave it in there after)</li>
<li>Saves the lakes (no toxic by products from shampoos going down the drain)</li>
<li>Did I say it looks amazing??</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Conclusion</span><br />
This is not for the faint of heart and does not work for everybody. It is something you have to see through and it is a big change to adjust to. If you commit to this process and it works for your hair type you will love it.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tips and tricks</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Use apple cider vinegar every other wash (my hairdresser warned me it could dry out my hair, also she want grossed out or put off by me doing this- she had heard of it)</li>
<li>Brush your hair everyday</li>
<li>Make sure you ad warm water or add the water in the shower when you mix your solution- or you could be cold shocked!</li>
<li>When you tell people don't just tell them you have "no poo for 6 weeks" like I did- give them some pre context or you will get some funny looks</li>
</ul>

Musicians communicate precisely how to play a song by writing notes in a way that is a “code” that can be learned by anyone.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Over six weeks we will develop your knowledge of that code by building an understanding of musical notation, writing that notation, and playing what’s written. People of all musical backgrounds are welcome.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
We will use various instruments (quietly – we’re in the library!) to illustrate what we are learning to write and to read.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
*Rhythm. Time value of notes and rests, time signatures. Practice playing various rhythms using claps, slaps and drumsticks.<br />*Pitch. Treble and bass clef, names of notes. Practice naming notes and combining pitch and rhythm. Whole tones and semitones. Accidentals. Ledger lines.<br />*Scales and Intervals. Key signatures and octaves. Practice.<br />*Musical Terms and Signs. Practice, and more practice!</div>
