Turing our family courtyard into a food paradise

In the last few weeks I have created 35 spaces for plants using upcycled water bottles in the south facing corner of our courtyard, on walls which were previously being used for nothing at all.

The rest of the patio is still taking shape as I am working with the sun, tending first to the areas which get the most, always making sure to use recycled plastic from our everyday life, ideally multiple times in multiple ways.

For example I used a bunch of different bottles (cut in half) for sprouting onions & garlic a month ago...

Mindful Eating With Healing Herbs...

How often do we put things in our mouths, hardly even aware of what we are eating, grabbing something to eat? Are we really getting the nourishment we need from the food we eat?

There is something to that sayinG You are what you eat. It is this choices in food that is either going to nourish us or destroy us. And although healthy, wholesome eating is only a part of what constitutes to our overall healthy it is an important part and one that is within our power to make use of. Let's take a look at some of the effects our food has on our health as a measure of preventative medicine.

If we look back to Ancient Greece and the time of Hippocratic medicine, disease was literally understood as dis-ease, or physical imbalance. Medical interventions worked towards restoration of harmony where food and diet played a key part. Their main preventative treatment was the eating of correctly-balanced foods.

Creating our Own Cycles

As humans we all seek to feel a part of something, we wish to feel connected. If this is unfulfilled then we begin to create our own connections. We have an innate desire to feel like we belong and feeling disconnected results in a lot of pain and suffering.

We are of course all connected, but so many people do not see this, instead feeding into the a culture of segregation, a culture that likes to divide us all up, so that we sit in our corners fearful of what others may be doing. And then there is the huge disconnection from nature that is so prevalent at the moment.

This connection that has allowed so much of the natural world to be destroyed, all for the gain of humankind. But how can we possibly gain anything from destroying the one thing that sustains us all. The one thing that connects us all.

Street Magic - 9 Recent Curb Recycling Finds Salvaged & Sold For $2,965 (178 Pounds Saved)

Another 178 POUNDS personally salvaged from being destroyed and sold for $2,965 over the last couple of days. Requirements: my bare hands, a screwdriver, cell phone, and a backpack. How much have you saved or repurposed lately? While Steem/Tron debates remain up in the air, I keep recycling to help the real concern -- our planet. I've been finding good stuff lately and will be dedicating some time to getting those listings up. I'm in a good position now to ramp up again.

Global Impact

This community was constructed to support the principle intention of Philanthropy - in pursuit of this intention, the Global Impact community will support initiatives toward human advancement.

The term philanthropy derives from the Greek "philos" for "loving" and "anthropis" for "human being" - focusing on love and improving the quality of human life. Here, we will define Philanthropy as "improving the human condition to save mankind from destruction" - borrowing from Jared Angaza's Natural Born Philanthropist.
