Happy Harvest ~

October in our corner of the Garden State is resplendent with color, from tree-lined country roads to surrounding hills and valleys to rolling farmlands. It’s the time when farmers close in on their final harvest of fruits, vegetables, and sunflowers. For most of us, our bodies’ early morn-ing dash for work, the morning paper, and a brisk walk with beloved pets triggers a quickened step and turned-up collar in response to chilled air. Our homes as well acknowledge this seasonal change: Windows open all

summer may now be closed, curtains drawn to insulate. Our food choices have also changed—breakfasts may include hot French toast or oatmeal, while dinners might include a simmering stew. Autumn also brings with it weekends to savor, whether spent at harvest festi-vals, places of worship, brunches, 5K runs, bicycling and triathlon events for sport, or fundraising events for causes dear to our hearts. October gathers all, encour-ages all to relate to one another—and to the environment itself. Women’s breast health is encouraged on Mammography Day, Oct. 16; World Osteoporosis Day is observed on the 19th; Lung Health is recognized on the 25th. All point toward a healthy environment beginning within. At the end of the month we treat and trick with Halloween, which had its beginnings in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, “summer’s end.” This important day in the Celtic calendar was believed to offer a chance for the ghosts of the dead to mingle with the living, marking both the ending and beginning of an eternal cycle. Autumn continues to offer whisperings of new beginnings, the stirring of the seed below the ground. We think you’ll find in this issue a chance to celebrate and seed your environ-ment with a new “green” life. Dian Freeman’s Healthtalk column on page 16 offers tips on strengthening our inner structure–our bones. Caryn O’Sullivan lists ways in which we can green our bodies while greening our environment, on page 14. Brita Belli points to the promise of a green future that is already well on its way, on page 22. And through our Green Business Community profiles, on page 13, we shine the spotlight on local businesses whose green practices benefit both the economy and the environment. These innovative local leaders gently place one foot in front of the other to create a path of abundance, with a lighter impact on our planet. May this harvest hold an abundance of all that is good—and green~ Happy Halloween!

ER Physician and Nurse Open Preventive Medicine Clinic in Millburn

The Cleansing Center, at 90 Millburn Ave., Suite 201, in

Millburn, was founded by Dr. Kenneth Lewandowski, DO, and Jim Bock, RN, to address patients’ total health, treat-ing physical, emotional and spiritual conditions and taking prevention to new and aspir-ing heights. Their preventive medicine clinic was born from

a shared frustration working in their respective hospitals, where they often realized patients’ailments could have easily been prevented by lifestyle changes. Their preventive care protocols include comprehensive reviews of systems, complete or interval family and social history, and a comprehensive assessment/his-tory of pertinent risk factors. Instead of treating the symptoms of illness, they offer clients the opportunity to start a new way of life that regularly eliminates the causes of illness. Together, Dr. Lewandowski and Mr. Bock are dedicated to helping their clients’ receive the intervention necessary to make their lives both healthier and longer. The Cleansing Center’s services focus on detoxifying im-mune-response inhibiting toxins. These services include point of care laboratory testing; colonics; IV chelation therapy; IV vitamin therapy; and parasite, heavy metals, viral and bacterial detoxification programs. Their holistic approach to medicine includes life coaching as well as emotional and nutritional counseling to help clients make the transition to healthy, clean living. Current specials include discounts for groups of friends who want to try IV Vitamin therapy and watch a pay-per-view movie or Monday Night Football on one of the center’s wide-screen TVs. Late night or early morning sessions are available to accommodate clients. For more information, visit TheCleansingCenter.com or call 973-313-0028. See ads on pages 21, 24 and 35.

Women Within to Launch Fall Gatherings in Millington

As we witness the changing

of the seasons, we are also watching many major shifts in the world and in our everyday lives. In this past year, major components of our economic system and the va l u e o f o u r

physical possessions have been shaken to the core. Many believe we are standing on the threshold of a real awakening in which we finally learn that power and joy lie not outside of ourselves, in what we possess, but are within—and are readily available by connecting to our source and the universe. For those ready to embrace such a reawakening, Women Within is a spiritual interfaith group that will begin meeting on Wednesdays and Thursdays in Mil-lington the week of October 12. Led by Jane Dowd Oosterom, who has taught Meditation with Synchronized Women for the past three years, is a second degree Reiki practitioner, and will be receiving her Masters in Holistic Ministry from the American Institute of Holistic Theology, the group encourages all paths to inspire and encourage life changes through the practice of meditation and spiritual work toward higher consciousness. In addition to meditation, members will have the opportunity to explore Soul work, crystals, oils, Reiki healings and much more, all in a safe, loving environ-ment, surrounded by women from diverse backgrounds, sharing their support, expe-riences and wisdom. For more information, email Jane Oosterom at [email protected] or [email protected]. Regis-tration is $30, and meditation classes are $15 each.

Soul-Stirring Music from Richard Shulman at Divine Inspirations

Divine Inspirations Bookstore, 217 Franklin Avenue, in Nut-

ley, will host an evening with Richard Shulman, award-winning composer of music for inspiration, healing and enlightenment, on October 23. The composer / keyboardist, who studied with Chuck Man-gione and Marian McPartland at the Eastman School of Music, and continued his jazz studies with Frank Foster at the State University of NY at Buffalo while getting his

masters degree in musical composition, began studying with Hilda Charlton after experiencing a spiritual crisis. From her, he learned the art of playing music for meditation, and was shown by a healer that he could create music for the souls of individuals and groups. He calls these spontaneous composi-tions “Musical Soul Portraits” and continues to perform them as a special feature in his solo concerts. He’ll be composing one of these special compositions during his concert at Divine Inspirations. Tickets are $35. For more information and to purchase tickets, call the bookstore at 973-562-5844 or go to divinebooks.net.

11October 2009

Just last month, the New York Times featured a lengthy article about how much we’ve done to make sure our water supply is clean, but how far we have yet

to go. The reason, according to that feature: Our love affair with sparkling clean water constantly hits bureaucratic snags. “Research shows that an estimated one in ten Americans have been exposed to drinking water that contains dangerous chemicals or fails to meet a federal health benchmark in other ways. Those expo-sures include carcinogens in the tap water of major American cities and unsafe chemicals in drinking-water wells. Wells, which are not typically regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act, are more likely to contain contaminants than municipal water systems.” The Reverend Christina Whited, a channel, healer, and non-denominational minister who teaches others how to tap into their spiritual gifts, has arrived at a unique solution: Cosmic Connections Programmed Water, inspired by her work with spirit. To Whited, just as some of the water around us is physically polluted and therefore toxic, there are also spiritual vibrational pollutants. Her quest is for all of us to work toward sending the correct frequencies to these bodies of waters to heal them and therefore heal ourselves. Whited’s programmed waters become changed through prayer. The testing phase occurred about three years ago when fifteen to twenty people tasted the wa-ters over the course of a three-month period. Whited says that “first and foremost they are spiritual remedies, hence they create subtle changes.” Though she states there is no local scientist who could prove that the water is any different, she feels that if Dr. Masaru Emoto was nearby and could “freeze” a drop and analyze it, it could be proven. For her, the proof lies in the effectiveness that people experience after drinking it. Masaru Emoto, the head of the I.H.M.General Research Institute and president emeritus of the International Water for Life Foundation, has made the claim that “If human speech or thoughts are directed at water droplets before they are frozen, im-

ages of the resulting water crystals will be beautiful or ugly depending upon whether the words or thoughts were pos-itive or negative.” Emoto claims this can be achieved through prayer, music or by attaching written words to a container of water. Dr. Emoto has published several volumes of a work titled Messages from Water, which contains photographs of water crystals next to essays and “words of intent.” For those who remain skeptical, Whited is happy to provide testimonials from people who have consumed her waters. When asked about the future of our world from her perspective, she answered, “We are in a time of transi-tion and yet the transition is much less traumatic than we have been led to be-lieve. So many people have increased their vibrations and alignment with the light that they keep raising us all higher. Peace on earth was so high after 9/11 and again after Michael Jackson’s death that a wave of healing came over a great number of people. So many more people are looking for an answer, the divinity within. The fate of the world has changed ten times over and I believe there is going to be a transition toward more light.” Whited’s programmed waters are a powerful aligning modality, not to be drunk to quench thirst. She advises drinking the water only three sips at a time, two or three times a day. She offers forty-five different types of water, with names that include Aligning Hearts, Balancing Spiritual Energy, Becoming More, Deep Sleep Good Work, Grief Re-lief, and Harmonic Scale. Each bottle of water has a specific purpose for healing, balancing, aligning, happiness, loving. To Whited, the energy that creates these powerful vibrations is the energy of the cosmos itself, the energy of the Spirit.

Green Your Family

Green Your Family LLC’s owner Donna D’Annunzio has been a wowgreen in-

dependent distributor since the launch of the company in March of this year. These nontoxic,

chemical-free household cleaning products are only available through independent distributors. Each product contains a propri-etary multi-enzyme formula to clean today’s modern homes. The primary enzymes in the proprietary blend are pro-tease, amylase, cellulase and lipase. These and other enzymes (in varying degrees to create each specific cleaner in the line) are combined with surfactants (small amounts of added soap, which gently lift the stain from the surface to allow the enzyme formula to surround the dirt and break it down), natural scents and dyes, and water, which should be added to most of the products in packaged recyclable containers. Six spray bottles are reusable and can be refilled by purchasing the small “con-centrate” packets and adding water. A fundraising program is available for groups wishing to offer wowgreen products.

Living an eco-friendly lifestyle is getting easier, as more people demand fuel-efficient cars, improved recycling and energy-saving appliances. Yet it’s our answer to

the simple question “What’s for dinner?” that may have the greatest impact on preserving the environment. Research shows that aiming to eat consciously by adding more variety, focusing on fresh produce and choosing sustainably pro-duced food significantly affects not only our own health but the health of the world in which we live.

Reduce Meat, Eat PlantsThe popular phrase “you are what you eat” has made its way around the dinner table time and again, and means more than Mom trying to get her kids to eat healthier. What goes into the body affects the blood, tissues, thoughts, and mood. Whole foods such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans and quality proteins form healthier bodies, opposed to pro-cessed and refined foods, chemicals, additives and sugars. Eating more “real” or whole, unprocessed food not only has a direct effect on health, but also a profound impact on the health and future of the planet. Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food, ascertains that it is “no longer possible to separate our bodily health from the health of the environ-ment from which we eat, or the environment in which we eat.” Pollan, along with Nina Planck, Mark Bittman and other food journalists, are leading the campaign for “conscious eating.” In Bittman’s January appearance on The Brian Lehrer Show, a radio program, he spoke about food choices that can harm the environment, notably the consumption of meat. Bittman emphasized that Americans consume about ten bil-lion industrialized animals per year. According to the United Nations, this makes up about 18% of the greenhouse gases contributing to global warming. Thus, cutting back on per-sonal meat consumption, as well as buying more responsibly

produced meat such as grass-fed beef or pasture-raised or organic chickens and eggs, contribute to eco-friendly eating. Such is the goal of the “Meatless Mondays” campaign, a nonprofit initiative in association with the Johns Hop-kins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health. This campaign stresses that if all Americans switched from eating chickens and pigs to eating beans and grains for just one day per week, it would stop as much global warming as if everyone in the U.S. shifted to ultra-efficient hybrids (which is the weekly equivalent of using 12 billion fewer gallons of gasoline). Not only does a reduction in meat consumption aid the en-

vironment, but scores of studies, including The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell, have demonstrated that a diet rich in vegetables and fruits reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases, and affects the overall health of any individual. Thus, as Pollan explains in his book In Defense of Food, a vegetarian or “flexitarian” diet (one that consists of mostly plant-based foods with oc-casional meat consumption) results in fewer health compli-cations and increased longevity.

Go “Green” with OrganicChoosing organic produce instead of conventional produce clears the environment of tons of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals that are polluting the soil and waterways, which further compromise the integrity of our food and add stress to our bodies. Current estimates show over 400 pesti-cides are legally used in the U.S. on conventional produce, and repeated exposure to pesticides has been linked to hyperactivity, behavior disorders, learning disabilities, devel-opmental delays and motor dysfunction in children. A useful guide to determine which fruits and vegetables contain the highest to lowest levels of pesticides is the “Dirty Dozen,” which is available at foodnews.org.

Buy LocalEating locally produced foods is another eco-conscious movement quickly gaining popularity. Buying food from lo-cal farms, joining a Community Supported Agriculture group (CSA) or co-op, or growing a garden dramatically reduces food miles and pollution. It also provides fresher, tastier and more nutritious food. Some experts say that eating locally is actually more important than choosing to eat all organic because organic produce can still travel thousands of miles before it reaches your table. SlowFoodusa.org is an excellent

Eat Those GreensA final way to green your body? Quite simply, eat more greens! Leafy greens are the primary food missing from the standard American diet. Greens such as kale, collards, turnip greens, escarole and broccoli rabe are nutrient power-houses, loaded with calcium, magne-sium, iron, potassium, phosphorous, zinc and vitamins A, C, E and K. They are also chockfull of fiber, folic acid, chlorophyll and many other micronu-trients and phytochemicals (chemical compounds such as beta-carotene that occur naturally in plants). Additionally, a cup of greens per day actually helps to green the body by creating an inter-nal “rainforest,” removing toxins and heavy metals. Greens are best eaten seasonally, with an emphasis on salad greens such as spinach and dandelion

in the spring and summer, and coarser greens like kale and collards in the fall and winter The effort it takes to become a more eco-conscious eater is small when compared with the benefit gained through improved bodily and environ-mental health. Additionally, reducing meat intake, eating more locally, and planting a garden often shave dollars off the grocery bill. Plant-based proteins like beans, tofu, tempeh and vegetables generally cost less than meat. Organic and local produce may be more expen-sive than conventional produce, but yield more nutritional value per dollar. Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Bring

consciousness to the table, and savor the difference. To learn more about greening your body and the environment, check out these books: Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating by Mark Bittman; The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan; and Real Food by Nina Planck.

Osteoporosis is so common today that many people see it as a normal condition of aging. Not so. It is true that

it is getting more and more common, but if it were a normal condition of aging, we would not have had so many long-lived and healthy ancestors. There are many reasons for the current near-epidemic of osteoporosis among seniors. The most obvious is a lifetime lacking daily weight-bearing exercise. Until the industrial era, our ancestors labored from dawn to dusk. This labor both built bones and kept bones strong. The benefit of weight-bearing exercise cannot be over-stated for bone protection and growth, and it is never too late to begin strengthening bones in this way. Structural strengthening also depends upon diet. Bones are mineralized cartilage. Thus, to build them requires suf-ficient amounts of minerals as well as sufficient amounts of what cartilage is made from: protein. In July of 2005, the American Journal of Clinical Nutri-tion published a study in which it was reported that “Dietary protein intake was positively associated with bone mineral density (BMD).” It was found that women between 72 and 78 who consumed fewer than 66 grams of protein a day “had significantly lower qualitative ultrasound of the heel and hip BMD than those consuming 87 g/d [grams per day] of dietary protein.” It is now understood that vitamin D plays a more impor-tant role in bone health than previously thought, and many

doctors are now recommending we take 2,000 to 6,000 IU per day. As important as this vitamin may be, it is not all that is required. It shares equal importance with bone-building minerals, especially mag-nesium. Recent studies show that there was little if any difference in bone density in subjects given the most commonly used pharmaceutically made calcium plus vitamin D supplements. These studies seem to have resulted in an increase of recommendations by doctors for prescriptions of pharmaceutical bone-building drugs. It is not surprising that studies would show little dif-ference in bone density by using supplements designed by pharmaceutical companies. This brings to mind one of my favorite quotations. It comes from a medical doctor, Michael Colgan, in his book The New Nutrition, and it goes like this: “For the truth about vitamins, look to experts whose status and salary does not depend on the continuing of disease.” Perhaps, the makers of the pharmaceutical supplements made with calcium and vitamin D do not know of the impor-tance of magnesium and other minerals for bone building. But, most students taking Chemistry 101 learn that calcium cannot be used to mineralize cartilage into bone without the aid of other necessary minerals. Better results probably would have been achieved in these studies had the subjects been given supplements with equal amounts of calcium

and magnesium. Many of the finest bone-building supplements, in addition to magnesium, also contain boron. The mineral strontium plays a major role in bone building but should not be taken in the same meal with calcium. I take strontium with breakfast and a calcium/magnesium supplement plus additional magnesium at dinner. Many women, including me, also depend upon natural progesterone creams for increasing bone density. Dr. John Lee, author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About PMS, and What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Peri-Menopause, reports that he has seen up to a 15% increase in bone density by those using natural progesterone cream. In 1990, an article in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research reported that “Progesterone alone may be a valuable agent for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis.” The same has not been said of progestin, the synthetic version of progesterone. Many people are not aware that there is a possibility that the drugs they take are contributing to thinning bones. Drugs that diminish stomach acid serve to disallow normal mineral breakdown. Other drugs commonly prescribed can diminish the body’s ability to digest or absorb minerals. I recommend that an investigation be made into the nutrients being blocked by drugs before one considers taking them. In fact, the very drugs designed for bone building have now been linked to an irreversible and painful rotting jaw disease. The irony is that jaws are made of bone. What does this say about what may be going on in other bones of the bodies of those taking these “bone-building” drugs? News reports in 2006 reported that class action suits were filed against Merck, the makers of the bone-building drug Fosamax. The Daily News Central reports that “Fosamax is Merck’s second-best-selling drug, with last year’s revenue at $3.2 billion.” The lawyer representing the group suing Merck said his case is “more clear cut than the one against Vioxx because it is easier to establish a direct link between Fosamax and the disease.” He is also working on similar suits that will be aimed at the bone-building drug Actonel. I do not know how these suits were resolved. However, when looking up “bone- building drugs” on Medline, I’ve noticed that most of them have added a warning about the possible side effect of jaw rotting. If one is taking any of these drugs, it would be wise to let your dentist know of it before beginning any work near the jaw bone. The state of our bones, like our very health, is in our own hands. Our bodies were designed to repair and rebuild all the way to the end of our life. Given the

tools, the nutrients, healing miracles are performed everyday by the miraculous human body.

Let the spine really rest while sleeping.While you’re sleeping, the structures in your spinal column that have worked hard all day finally have an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. Using the right mattress and pillow will support the spine, allowing the muscles and ligaments to become stress-free and refreshed.

Choose your shoes carefully.Whether walking for exercise or just to get where you’re going, the shoes on your feet have a big effect on your back. Shoes should be well-balanced, flexible and comfortable. Providing not only protection for the feet, but a supportive base that helps the spine and body remain in alignment, the right shoes, plus inserts for added balance, if needed, can help avoid muscle strain and possible injury.

Enjoy the benefits of a massage chair.A massage feels good because it relaxes your muscles and relieves stress, but therapeutic massage does more than improve flexibility and decrease tension. Massage chairs also can improve blood flow and increase the level of endorphins, natural chemicals in the body that make you feel good, in your bloodstream.

While it’s not the same as experiencing treatment by a massage therapist, using a massage chair at home can be a practical, easy way to feel some of the benefits of a Shiatsu or Swedish massage.

Sit up straight, with support.Loading on the discs in the lower spine is three times greater while sitting than standing, so it follows that long peri-ods of sitting can create or aggravate a painful back condition. Problems can also occur from sitting incorrectly or in an uncomfortable chair. For example, while sitting in an office chair, many people slouch and lean forward; this poor posture typically leads to muscle tension and pain in the lower back and legs. That is why having the right office chair is key to promoting good pos-ture and supporting the back’s natural curves. Because a prolonged static posture is stressful for the structures in the spine, most experts recommend that you get up to stretch and walk around every 20 to 30 minutes.

Specifically exercise abs and back.One of the most important components of good spine health is exercise. If back and abdominal muscles are not in good shape, it puts additional pressure on the spine, already under the stress of supporting the entire body. Performing abdominal and back exercises (which don’t get much exercise from daily ac-tivities) as part of a daily routine will go far in maintaining a healthy spine. When abdominal and back muscles are well-maintained, they help support the spine and minimize the chance of injury.

“Are You Ready to Throw in the Towel and Just Live

with Hurting So Badly?” Then, try a doctor who gives no drugs, and cures nothing (what?)

Dear friend, Every day, people come to see me looking for an answer to those agonizing headaches they’ve endured for years. Many have been to several doctors, tried several drugs, and have had very expensive tests… My patient, Roseann, had migraine headaches since first grade. She’d been to generalists, specialists, had CAT scans, MRI’s, and been on some powerful medications… all of which didn’t help. She suffered for 20 years. Another patient Aggie just went three weeks without a migraine for the first time in years (she hadn’t gone longer than a few days without one). All that suffering, when the answer was just removing nerve pressure in their spines. Their cases are not unusual at all… This month I’m reaching out to people with headaches. It bothers me that many have been told there no answer for them, when, maybe there is. Look, no doctor can guarantee a cure. But, chiropractic care has been shown to help countless people with these problems. And, it’s not just migraines and headaches. I’m blessed to help people with chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few. I often see people who’ve come to me as a “last resort”. I’m a chiropractor, and I do things differently. I’m not going

to give you medications to cover up symptoms. My job is to get to the root cause of many health problems. But, you need to know that I don’t “cure” anyone. Your body is designed to always strive to heal itself. Sometimes, nerve interference gets in the way of that inborn striving towards health. What I do is remove nerve pressure, and allow the body to heal itself. I’m not a miracle worker; your body is the real miracle. Although all people

respond differently to care, a 1994 study showed that over 98% of people seeing a chiropractor were satisfied. That’s incredible. When you bring in this article by (Sept 25th) I’ll do my entire new patient exam for $27 with x-rays, paraspinal thermal imaging….the whole ball of wax ($110-$210 value). And, further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know that we have family plans. You can call me, or Maya, at ROSSI FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC (we are at 1072 Valley

Rd, Stirling right across from the Stirling House Diner). Our phone number is 908-903-9400. We can help you. Thanks, and God Bless. Fred Rossi, D.C. P.S. If another member of your family or a good friend wants to come in with you for this exam, we’ll do that second exam for the same $27.

For years, Natalie Whalen stuck to one brand of eyeliner to accent her big brown eyes. Until, that is, she found out that it contains formaldehyde, the same chemical

she used in high school biology class to dissect frogs. “I was completely clueless about what was in the prod-ucts,” says this 18-year-old from Marin County, California. Formaldehyde is a probable cancer-causing chemical, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. But because the federal Food and Drug Administration does not review or approve cosmetic ingredients, it is also found in nail polish, insect repellant, liquid hand soap and sunscreen,

notes the Environmental Working Group’s Cosmetic Safety Database. A 2004 EWG report further found that one-third of all cosmetics contain one or more ingredients classified as possible carcinogens, with links to birth defects, cancer and reproductive harm.

Cosmetics savvyToday, Whalen continues to be a committed cosmetics user, but now she’s a different kind of consumer. Like most teens, she says she used to routinely buy mascara, eye shadows and skin care products from drug store racks and department store cosmetic counters without checking ingredient labels. That has changed since she joined the nonprofit group Teens for Safe Cosmetics, now called Teens Turning Green, three years ago. Whalen is now one of the group’s 500-plus teens doing their bit to save Mother Earth. Over the past few years, they have launched chapters in Dallas, New York City and Pitts-burgh. Plans call for new chapters in Denver, Toronto, Rio de Janeiro and Australia. The California-based organization inves-tigates chemicals in consumer products, advocates for policy changes and educates youth and adults about how to buy products that don’t harm their bodies or the environment. As a result, Whalen’s overall eco-consciousness now extends to everything from organic tomatoes to chemical-free face wash and recycled paper. “Whenever I buy new stuff, I try to go as green as I can,’’ she says. “Every part of your life can be green,” agrees Carly Wertheim, 17, of Marin County, who was using chemical-laden deodorant and mascara when she joined the local group three years ago and “knew nothing.” She likes the fact that when teens like her get involved in this campaign, they immediately start doing research and learning how to read ingredient labels. “Now,” she advises, “if I can’t pronounce it, I don’t want to be using it.” Last year, teens in Marin County and New York collabo-rated with several organic beauty companies to create and

launch the first-ever line of organic skin and body care products specifically for teens. Named after the group, the Teens Turning Green brand offers hand sanitizer, face wash, body lotion and other skin care products that contain no toxins or other chemicals believed to cause cancer or reproductive harm, ac-cording to Executive Director Judi Shils. Everything in the teen line is organic and packaged in glass jars, without extra paper or cardboard pack-aging. Initial sales have been good via the group’s original distribution through Whole Foods Market’s independent stores, reports Shils. Now, the group is gearing up to provide their products

through other outlets, as well.

Whole Life ChoicesTeens Turning Green recently added a whole new dimension with Proj-ect Green Dorm, because, “We have moved into all aspects of a teen’s life-style, 24/7,’’ says Shils. To set up a prototype green dorm, the group rented space in a Marin County shopping mall and convinced more than 100 eco-friendly companies nationwide to sell their products at wholesale prices. They opened their first retail shop this past July. All items are made from either recycled or organic materials, including glass containers (no plastic) for pack-ing a school lunch; organic cotton bed sheets; banana fiber notebook paper; fair trade sports equipment; and shirts

made of silk, harvested using sustainable methods. Under the plan, Teens Turning Green will keep 50 percent of the proceeds, reports Shils. Many of the items are also for sale online at ProjectGreenDorm.org, along with back-to-school resource guides, tips on going green, illustrated product recommendations and other advice. Shils notes that the group’s basic ($50) and premium ($100) care packages provide what a college student needs to live a green life. Members of Teens Turning Green say that, along with living a greener life themselves, they want to convince others to do so, as well. “To be able to help people change their lifestyles and have healthier options is really rewarding,” says a smiling Whalen. “When people appreciate what we are doing, that is what drives me to continue the work.” Kristin Bender is a San Francisco Bay Area freelance writer.

Going green is not just a trend—it’s a full-scale shift that’s taken place across the consumer landscape in every market. In one recent study, the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies found that half of the survey respondents

would “definitely” or “probably” pay more for eco-friendly laundry detergent or an automobile. Even those who described their financial situation as “fair” or “poor” expressed their willingness to spend 15 percent more on environmentally friendly detergent and wood furniture. As the market continuously shifts toward healthier options—both for people and the planet—companies that produce everything from cars to cosmetics to clean energy systems are responding with greater options and lower prices.

Organic and Local Food Research by Packaged Facts reports that organic food sales have continued to grow over the past year, albeit at an annual rate closer to 6 percent, compared to the 20 percent of better years. The researchers found that “premium customers,” those earning $75,000 per year or more, increased their organic purchases in the past year. Also, some 33 percent of those earning much less still seek out organic labels at the grocery store. Organic foodies are committed to the healthfulness promised by fruits, veggies, juices, cereals, meats and other food staples that aren’t produced or raised with harmful additives or toxic pesticides. From Stop & Shop’s Nature’s Promise to Whole Foods’ 365 Organic Everyday Value and Wegmans’ Food You Feel Good About, supermarket brands now offer organic items at prices comparable to non-organic versions. This emerging shift means we have a chance at making progress in restoring our land and water and better safeguarding life from the hazards of industrial agriculture, in which pesticides and herbicides and in the case of meat, antibiotics and hormones, harm soil quality and contaminate our water supplies. Demand for local foods from farmers’ markets and community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs has seen an upswing, too. Says vegetarian cookbook author Deborah Madison, “I like everything about a farmers’ market. It’s vital, it’s alive, it’s the best-tasting food.”

Green Building Buildings in the United States account for 38 percent of primary energy use and carbon dioxide emissions, making them a top contributor to global warming, accord-ing to the Environmental Information Administration. The green building movement now encompasses improved insulation and heating and air conditioning (HVAC) sys-tems; energy-efficient windows and appliances; low-flow commodes and showers; use of recycled and more durable materials for roofs, decks and countertops; and paints free of volatile organic compounds. According to McGraw-Hill Construction’s Green Outlook 2009, the overall green building market is likely to more than double from today’s $46 billion to $49 billion to $96 billion to $140 billion by 2013. Increasing awareness of the benefits of green building, combined with a national push for healthier homes and green jobs, has led to opportunities for homeowners.

Federal tax credits are available for up to 30 percent of the cost for various metal and asphalt roofs, biomass stoves (used for heat or water heating), increased insulation and more energy-efficient win-dows, doors, air conditioners and water heaters. More, the the Federal Housing Administration is offering Energy Ef-ficient Mortgages to new homebuyers who commit to significant energy-saving improvements or who purchase an Energy Star-rated home.

Renewable Energies Despite the poor economy, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) re-ported that 2008 was one of solar energy’s best years: Here at home, solar power connected to the electric grid was up 58 percent, and solar water heating capac-ity grew 40 percent. In 2008, the United States surpassed Germany to become the world leader in wind energy; that industry is projected to expand from $51.4 billion in 2009 to $139.1 billion in 2018. A host of other renewable energies promise bright futures, too, including geothermal, hydro-power and biofuels. For those who want to convert their house to renewable energies, cost is a factor. Solar panels generally cost between $35,000 to $72,000 before rebates and tax incentives. Solar water heaters are a uni-versally cost-effective way to go; at $2,000 to $4,000 for 80-100 gallons, they can provide more than half a home’s hot water needs. Wrapping a water heater in a space-age insulation blanket and hooking it up to its own timer, at about $200, installed, is another way to cut energy usage and utility bills. Residential wind turbines—as tall as 80 feet or more—depend on a host of factors to make them feasible, including unobstructed land, building codes and cost considerations. A 10-kW system will cost about $40,000. For anyone building a new home, a geothermal heat pump is one of the best long-term energy investments. Pipes are buried in the ground outside the home, where the temperature remains stable; these move heat from the ground via encased fluid to the home’s ductwork

during cold months and reverse the process in hot months. The overall system costs about $7,500, more than a $4,000 furnace and central air system, but it requires little maintenance. Payback can come in as little as two years. Many incentives help. A 30 percent tax credit is available through 2016 for home renewable energy systems (search the Energy Star website). Local utilities often offer further rebates and incentives (search Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency). For solar panels, tap into a Residential Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), where a customer pays a small upfront cost to a company such as SunRun to guarantee a set electricity rate for the next 18 years.

able bamboo and hemp, is still a niche market. While people now better understand the health benefits of organic foods, “Most consumers don’t understand organic… when it comes to clothing,” says Mark Messura, executive vice president of Cotton Incorporated. Patagonia makes all of its sportswear from 100 percent organic cotton, a practice it began in 1996. Recently, a more widespread advance in green standards for all con-sumer products has emerged from an unlikely source: Walmart. In July 2009, the retail giant announced that it is developing a universal rating system and “eco label” that lets shoppers know the environmental impacts of the products they are buying. For cotton clothing and bedding, pesticide and water use are major concerns. Pe-tra Kjell, of the Environmental Justice Foundation reports, for example, that it requires 500 gallons of water to produce one conventional cotton T-shirt. Traditional cotton pro-duction continues to be tied to dangerous levels of toxic pesticides and insecticides. Eco fashion offers an eclectic mix from emerging designers. They may use surplus designer fabric, T-shirts made from bamboo, or fleece made from recycled soda bottles. Vintage and consignment clothes work well, while “refashion”—like dresses made from T-shirts—are widely available on sites like Etsy.com.

Cleaner Lawns and Gardens According to a fact sheet from the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, sales of organic lawn and garden products increased by 64 percent between 2002 and 2006 and continue to grow. It’s no secret that Americans are enthusiastic about their perfectly manicured, green lawns, but they’re also increasingly aware of the environmental impacts. Some are rethinking lawns altogether, switching to native ground cover and other plants as an alternative. Lawn maintenance equipment is a major environmental problem with grass. A traditional gas-powered mower, notes the Environmental Protection Agency, produces as much air pollution as 43 new cars, each driven 12,000 miles; 54 million Americans mow their lawns each weekend. One alternative is the electric mower, which produces no exhaust, requires little maintenance and is much quieter and lighter than its gas-guzzling cousin. Even more problematic, a study by Purdue University confirms that 30 to 60 per-cent of all urban freshwater is used for watering lawns, which also entails 67 million pounds of pesticides that end up contaminating water systems as runoff. Native plants, on the other hand, require nothing but rainfall to thrive. Also, more people are turning to rain barrels. Placed under a home’s downspout, these can hold up to 100 gallons and have a spigot for attaching a hose. An added ben-efit of using rainwater is that plants prefer it.

Natural Products The market research firm Packaged Facts reported in July 2009 that the natural health and beauty care market, which grew 8 percent in 2008 and is approach-ing $7 billion, is likely to reach sales of $12 billion by 2014. It’s easy to search for the content—and safety—of preferred brand-name products at the Skin Deep on-line database, maintained by the Environ-mental Working Group. All of this is good news for the environment, because the chemicals in personal care products find their way through bathing and disposal into the soil and water supplies, where they can negatively impact aquatic life and potentially, human health. The same holds true for common household cleaners and chemical air fresheners, which contribute to indoor air pollution and can aggravate respiratory illnesses like asthma. One 2008 study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found that households that regularly used cleaning sprays had a 30 to 50 percent increased risk of experiencing asthma. People are demanding healthier alternatives and the market is respond-ing. While neither beauty products nor cleaners generally disclose their harmful ingredients, natural and organic alterna-tives from companies like Seventh Gen-eration offer detailed labels. Conscious shoppers are reading them as they look for plant-based ingredients and essential oils, instead of chemicals.


People can even make their own household cleaners, such as distilled white vinegar and water to clean windows, or baking soda, lemon juice and salt to scrub grout. These are safe for even the most sensitive family members.

Efficient Autos and Going Car-Free The car market has taken a serious hit from the economy, hybrids included. But while even the popular Toyota Prius saw sales drop 44 percent between December 2007 and December 2008, environmentally friendly vehicles are the declared future of the auto industry. This year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit was all about electric models, from the Cadillac Converj, a more luxurious version of the Chevy Volt, to the Toyota FT-EV city car, expected in showrooms in 2012. Hybrid cars combine the gas engine with an electric motor and utilize a car’s braking energy, making them both more fuel efficient and less polluting. In the government’s 2009 Fuel Economy Guide, the Honda’s Civic Hybrid was cited as a leader among compact cars, deliv-ering 40 miles per gallon in the city/45 mpg on the highway. Among midsized cars, the Prius tops the list with 48/45 mpg; in the SUV class, Ford’s Escape Hybrid gets a solid 34/31 mpg. Because they can cost $2,000-plus more than gas-powered cars, hybrids are a tough sell at the moment. Several federal tax credits designed to ease the transition to hybrid, electric and other fuel-efficient vehicles, like diesels, have come and gone, the latest called Cash for Clunkers—a federal stimulus program that offered up to $4,500 to anyone who traded an old gas-guz-zler for a new, more fuel-efficient car. The discussion has many people seriously rethinking their transportation options. At the same time, the American Public Transportation As-sociation reported a 4 percent increase in public transportation ridership last year—bringing it to its highest level in 52 years. Bicycle sales are picking up, too. In the first quarter of 2009, U.S. bicycle sales surpassed car sales. Rising interest in bicycle riding has led many cities to open bike lanes. National efforts to create safe paths for bike riders include the East Coast Greenway, a 3,000-mile traffic-free trail system between Canada and Florida that’s 21 percent complete. The San Francisco Bay Trail has developed 300 miles of shore-line trails for bikers, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts over the past 20 years, with an eventual goal of 500 miles. Today’s evolving bicycle designs include folding models for commuters and a range of trailers, carriers and attachments for those who want to start shopping by bike and bring the kids.

Green Investing Jack Uldrich, the author of Green Investing: A Guide to Making Money through Environment-Friendly Stocks, says that, despite the recession, “I still think cleantech is an outstanding long-term investment trend.” Still, he cautions that green stocks should only comprise 5 percent to 10 percent of an investor’s portfolio. Why? He notes that renewable energy investments are particularly subject to outside forces, such as government investment, the availability of strong credit available to fund

solar panels and other energy systems, and the rise and fall of gasoline prices. But venture capitalists are still flocking to clean technology ventures such as eSolar Inc., the nation’s first solar tower energy facility, in Pasadena, California, backed by the investment firm Idealab. Ernst & Young reported that investments in cleantech startups jumped 73 percent in the second quarter last year. Paul Deninger, vice president of the investment bank Jefferies & Com-pany, notes that the most exciting opportunities may actually occur in the process of managing current energy use “by hap-penstance, being green, rather than [in] managing the carbon footprint directly.” Matthew Patsky, a partner of the green fund group Winslow Management, observes that in the future, fossil fuel supplies will inevitably be supplanted by clean energy like solar, wind and geothermal. “Renewable energy, green building, mass transit, improving efficiency…” Patsky concludes, “It’s got to win.”

Natural Awakenings readers across the country are among those already investing in a greener future—whether switching to organ-ic snacks and energy-efficient light bulbs, supporting local green businesses or bicycling to work. Collectively, these incremental changes are beginning to add up and the markets are responding.

EARTHIn July 1969, Michael Collins served as the Command

Module pilot on Apollo 11, the historic first mis-sion to land men on the moon. He circumnavigated

the moon alone while Eagle astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface. John Hammack, former chair of the West Point Association of Graduates, has characterized Collins’ 1974 autobiogra-phy, Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut’s Journeys, as “the single best book of its genre” and “the standard reference on space travel.” It lends new perspective on time, light and movement from one who has seen the fragile Earth from the other side of the moon. Collins marked this year’s 40th anniversary of the most widely viewed and daring exploration of all time with comments from his book and his life. “I really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of 100,000 miles, their outlook could be fundamentally changed,” says Collins. “That all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument silenced. The tiny globe would continue to turn, serenely ignoring its subdivisions, presenting a unified facade that would cry out for unified understanding, for homogeneous treat-ment. The Earth must become as it appears: blue and white, not capitalist or Commu-nist; blue and white, not rich or poor; blue and white, not envious or envied. “From the moon,” he continues, “Earth looks small, shiny, serene, blue and white, fragile… but appearances can be deceiving. It’s certainly not serene, but definitely

THE VIEW FROM OUT THERE

fragile, and growing more so. The loss of habitat, the trashing of oceans, the ac-cumulation of waste products—this is no way to treat a planet.” Collins reports that as he circled the dark side of the moon 40 years ago, alone in space, isolated from any known life, he did not feel lonely. Half a billion people around the world were cheering on these pioneers and watching as Armstrong climbed down the Eagle’s ladder and pro-claimed: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Over the next three-and-a-half years, 11 moonwalkers would follow in his foot-steps. Gene Cernan, commander of the last Apollo mission, left the lunar surface with these words: “We leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind.”

Viktoras Kulvinskas, nutritionist and visionary author of the inspirational Survival into the 21st Century, has been a practitioner in the holistic field for more than 35 years. In this exclusive Natural Awakenings interview, the “Father of Living Foods” offers a

glimpse into the timeless movement he founded, as well as advice on how to shift from a traditional diet to vegetarianism.

Q. What made Survival into the 21st Century such a groundbreaking book?Originally published in 1972, it has been recognized as the first holistic book written about the value of raw foods, particularly the importance of enzymes. Today, it is regarded as the “Living Foods Bible.” The book focuses on timeless information that champions a new paradigm for an uncooked, vegetarian diet, which is high in enzymes and liquids, but low in protein and starch. My revolutionary theories on a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, predigested sprouted seeds and grains, grasses, algae and sea vegetables, have withstood the scrutiny of the medical community and have been recognized as a key to preserving youthfulness and reversing the aging process. In 1972, no other author was writing on the same level about the subject of raw foods, body ecology or spirituality. Also, no other writer had ever made public the results of more than 400 studies published in medical journals. These studies, which I cited in the book, supported the results of my own personal research.

Q. How did individuals initially perceive this new paradigm?We took our raw foods show on the road and, just like rock and roll stars, we went from expo to expo, which I catered. Sometimes, in one weekend I prepared food for 2,000 people. And even though my raw foods recipes were competing against the ethnic and traditional foods available at the festivals, my food was the biggest hit. It tasted better, was more colorful and left people feeling more energetic.

Q. What obstacles did you initially encounter when spreading the news about the value of raw foods and vegetarianism?When you set out to serve, you don’t deal with obstacles, because you only focus on the goals you want to achieve. My goal was to make our country more aware of the benefits of a vegetarian and raw foods diet. I succeeded, and today more than 4,000 medical doctors confirm that a vegan diet is more than adequate to promote and maintain good health.

Q. What do you think is fueling the increased interest in raw foods? The Internet is responsible for the mega growth in the number of raw foodists and for the increased interest in personal healing and holistic health. Technology has allowed us to disseminate information throughout the globe in a cost-effective fashion and to share our anecdotal stories. Testimonials from individuals who have been guests at Hippocrates Health Institute, which I founded with Ann Wigmore, are especially valuable to people who browse the Internet in search of relief from health conditions like cancer, leukemia, diabe-tes, obesity and others.

Q. There are rumors circulating about your age. Would you like to verify it?I am not into ageism because I believe aging is a misnomer and a false concept. As a result of my lifestyle choices, I pass for someone much younger than my 70-plus years.

Q. What advice can you give to individuals who want to be successful in changing their diet?I know that if everyone gifted themselves with at least three months of a vegetarian diet that included whole foods, probiotics, sprouts, sea vegetables, wheatgrass juice or a concentrat-ed form of it, and super foods like blue-green algae, they would experience such a remark-

able difference in their digestion, mental acuity and energy levels that they would want to continue. For individuals who presently overeat, I suggest that they begin to make the change by starting each meal with a big salad that includes an abundance of greens such as spinach, kale, watercress, mustard greens or others. Everyone should court their body like a lover courts his beloved, so that the body willingly yields its inherent bounty of rich-ness. A vegetarian diet is only one aspect of the courtship. Others are liberal exercise, prayer and meditation. Readers can write to me and I will give them the information they need to do this.

Viktoras Kulvinskas, nutritionist and visionary author of the inspirational Survival into the 21st Century, has been a practitioner in the holistic field for more than 35 years. In this exclusive Natural Awakenings interview, the

“Father of Living Foods” offers a glimpse into the timeless movement he founded, as well as advice on how to shift from a traditional diet to vegetarianism.

Q. What made Survival into the 21st Century such a groundbreaking book?

Originally published in 1972, it has been recognized as the first holistic book writ-ten about the value of raw foods, particularly the importance of enzymes. Today, it is regarded as the “Living Foods Bible.” The book focuses on timeless informa-tion that champions a new paradigm for an uncooked, vegetarian diet, which is high in enzymes and liquids, but low in protein and starch. My revolutionary theories on a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, predigested sprouted seeds and grains, grasses, algae and sea vegetables, have withstood the scrutiny of the medi-cal community and have been recognized as a key to preserving youthfulness and reversing the aging process. In 1972, no other author was writing on the same level about the subject of raw foods, body ecology or spirituality. Also, no other writer had ever made public the results of more than 400 studies published in medical journals. These studies, which I cited in the book, supported the results of my own personal research.

Q. How did individuals initially perceive this new paradigm?We took our raw foods show on the road and, just like rock and roll stars, we went from expo to expo, which I catered. Sometimes, in one weekend I prepared food for 2,000 people. And even though my raw foods recipes were competing against the ethnic and traditional foods available at the festivals, my food was the biggest hit. It tasted better, was more colorful and left people feeling more energetic.

Q. What obstacles did you initially encounter when spreading the news about the value of raw foods and vegetarianism?

When you set out to serve, you don’t deal with obstacles, because you only focus on the goals you want to achieve. My goal was to make our country more aware of the benefits of a vegetarian and raw foods diet. I succeeded, and today more than 4,000 medical doctors confirm that a vegan diet is more than adequate to promote and maintain good health.

Q. What do you think is fueling the increased interest in raw foods?

The Internet is responsible for the mega growth in the number of raw foodists and for the increased interest in personal healing and holistic health. Technology has allowed us to disseminate information throughout the globe in a cost-effective fashion and to share our anecdotal stories. Testimonials from individuals who have been guests at Hippocrates Health Institute, which I founded with Ann Wigmore,

are especially valuable to people who browse the Internet in search of relief from health conditions like cancer, leu-kemia, diabetes, obesity and others.

Q. There are rumors circulating about your age. Would you like to verify it?I am not into ageism because I believe aging is a misnomer and a false con-cept. As a result of my lifestyle choices, I pass for someone much younger than my 70-plus years.

Q. What advice can you give to individuals who want to be successful in changing their diet?I know that if everyone gifted them-selves with at least three months of a vegetarian diet that included whole foods, probiotics, sprouts, sea veg-etables, wheatgrass juice or a concen-trated form of it, and super foods like blue-green algae, they would experi-ence such a remarkable difference in their digestion, mental acuity and energy levels that they would want to continue. For individuals who presently overeat, I suggest that they begin to make the change by starting each meal with a big salad that includes an abun-dance of greens such as spinach, kale, watercress, mustard greens or others. Everyone should court their body like a lover courts his beloved, so that the body willingly yields its inherent bounty of richness. A vegetarian diet is only one aspect of the courtship. Others are liberal exercise, prayer and medita-tion. Readers can write to me and I will give them the information they need to do this.

Never Be Without teeth, iNcludiNg implaNtspatients travel from around the country todenville, in search of the perfect smile.Denville is famous for its medical community. So, it’s no surprise that a perfect smile is a must have item in this friendly town. Hand crafting those smiles is the life work of Dr. Steiner and Dr. Fine. Our office’s reputation has spread so far that we now treat patients from around the world; often doing more smile makeovers in a single month that some dentists do in a lifetime.

We also offer an amazing alternative for those living with missing teeth. This dramatic advancement in the field of dental implantology now makes it possible for many patients to switch from dentures to permanent implant supported teeth in only a few hours. This new approach can be used to replace a single missing tooth or an entire mouth. Patients leave the office after just one appointment with a beautiful and strong smile. Discomfort is so minimal that most patients eat a light meal that evening.

Upon entering our front door you will immediately know that this is no ordinary dental office, because that’s what most people say upon seeing it for the first time. Among our practice’s notable patients are actresses, actors, astronauts, models and TV personalities. However most of the doctor’s patients are everyday people who just want to look their best.

Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski have focused their practice on those areas about which they are highly passionate. (After all you wouldn’t ask your family doctor to do heart surgery.) Those areas are Cosmetic Dentistry. Trained at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for advanced dental studies, they have devoted over fifty combined years to perfecting their skills and have placed over 23,000 cosmetic restorations. Our main focus is on cosmetic and full mouth reconstruction cases. This includes Implant Dentistry and Neuromuscular Orthodontics, which can avoid unecessary removal of teeth. Many people do not realize that dental problems may be the cause of headaches, shoulder, back and neck pain, noisy jaw joints and pains in the TMJ.

Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski pride themselves in having Morris County’s premier head, neck and jaw pain relief center. Our office also offers a “limited warranty” that provides free repair or replacement of restorative dental work, when a patient’s regular hygiene visits are maintained. This kind of security could only be offered by truly World Class Dentists. This is why our motto is: “Experienced professionals make the difference.”
