This March I decided to participate in YYoga's 30 day challenge, which they usually hold approximately twice a year for a reduced price. The goal is to attend 30 days of consecutive yoga. 

Recently I have been dabbling in different styles of yoga and since YYoga offers such a wide range of classes I thought it would be a great fit for advancing my knowledge of the practice. 

Sustainability Televison has had a working relationship with the NOW! Organization for some time, but I didn’t know much about their work. To learn more about how the NOW!

Fighting the Noise

Organic seems to be one of those buzz words that just won’t go away. We assume when things are more natural, they are better for us, and generally that is correct.

We have but little time. Natural systems are close to breakdowns, soon reaching tipping points of no return. This is true for the climate as well as for the ecosystems.
