About me:

Conscious Consuming seeks to increase awareness of the impact of buying decisions on our health, happiness, and environment. Through education and discussion we encourage people to live in line with their values by better prioritizing time, money, and material things.

Many of the products and services we use in industrialized societies today are disposable, hazardous, and often, unnecessary. Yet our capitalist economy depends on our consumption of such products and services, and we are told that it's un-American to question our role in this arrangement.

Conscious Consumers dare to question; a whole host of variables might go into our decision-making, but the important thing is that we do that thinking. Before we buy, we wonder:

  • Is this item in line with my values?
  • Does this product or service support my vision for a sustainable, equitable society?
  • Is there another product of service that is better aligned with my values?

Join Conscious Consuming at our
Annual Gift It Up Alternative Gift Fair!

Gift It Up! is an opportunity to give back to the larger community and honor your loved ones at the same time. You can eliminate holiday stress and rid yourself of the nagging feeling that your uncle or son-in-law really doesn't need another tie and your daughter's teacher really doesn't need another apple ornament.

At the fair, learn about the many local, national and international non-profit organizations making a difference in your community. Choose from a list of tangible gifts, such as art supplies for autistic adults, cattle for a family in Cambodia, or dinner for the hungry in Boston!

Who I'd like to meet:

People concerned with how the purchasing and accumulation of material stuff is shaping our culture, impacting the environment and affecting our health and quality of life.

Conscious Consumers who will "share" our banner!

Hope all is well with you.

If you know anyone with little ones in the house, or who works with children, please let them know that we have turned our January Book "Parsnip Meets A Snowman" into a short voiced-over film. It's on our myspace page and on youtube.

The book of the month is always available to read free on our own website www. thefoodiesbooks. com but we thought this would be a nice way to reach children who are not yet starting to read.

So if anyone wants to help their child make the connection between weather / seasons and the food they eat, this is a little fun starting point.

Hope you like it!
Have a happy year in 2009.

Meat Eating & Global Warming

www. ivu. org/members/globalwarming. html

[Animals] were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men.
Alice Walker

The time will come when people such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of people.
Leonardo da Vinci

I feel very deeply about vegetarianism and the animal kingdom. It was my dog Boycott who led me to question the right of humans to eat other sentient beings.
Cesar Chavez, United Farm Workers

I encourage the Tibetan people and all people to move toward a vegetarian diet that doesn't cause suffering.
Dalai Lama

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
Mohandas Gandhi

The human appetite for animal flesh is a driving force behind virtually every major category of environmental damage now threatening the human future: deforestation, erosion, fresh water scarcity, air and water pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, social injustice, the destabilization of communities, and the spread of disease.
World Watch

Nothing will benefit health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
Albert Einstein

There is a direct relationship between eating meat and the environment.
Andrea Gordon, If You Recycle, Why Are You Eating Meat?

If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That's the single most important thing you could do.
Paul McCartney
