If Occupy Wall Street coalesces into something like a real movement, the Democratic Party may have more difficulty digesting it than the GOP has had with the Tea Party. After all, a big share of both parties’ campaign funds comes from the Street and corporate board rooms, the Koch Brothers and Dick Armey’s and Karl Rove’s SuperPACs.

Setting aside the benefits to your health, how much might you (and society at large) save financially on healthcare by regular practice of Transcendental Meditation? The question takes on urgency in these times of spiraling health costs, and fortunately it has been studied.
Hermann Hesse predicted that when enough individuals begin to listen to nature’s voice and pay heed to their own dreams — including their visions, intuitions, and instinctive promptings — the greatest revolution in all history will unfold. This is not an ending, but rather a beginning.
Many ancient and indigenous groups have written or warned about the dramatic changes that would happen on planet Earth, culminating around this very time. It has been said that if we do not take care of the Earth, the Earth will take care of us! It is both an...
Before moving to Taos, I owned a townhouse that was almost two thousand square feet and had a two-car garage, plus lots of closet space, all of it full. It was filled with the stuff accumulated after a decade or so in the working world. Long before I moved, I decided to clean out my garage. It took...
by Priscilla Short. The Greatest Generation (whatever that means) made personal short-term sacrifices for the good of the country and emerged victorious. In the name of patriotism, citizens of the United States subjected themselves to the rationing of consumer goods, cutting back on necessities and denying themselves a lot of the niceties that we take for granted today.
by Marie T. Russell. In case you haven't noticed, it's election time again... Of course if you watch TV at all, or read newspapers, or listen to the radio, it would be difficult not to know that there are elections coming up in the United States. Everybody, it seems, is talking about it...
An organic garden is not a machine. It is a living system of balanced forces between, for example, predator and prey, and these forces are always in flux. Soil composition, air quality, water, birds, bugs, weeds -- these are just a few of the forces that determine the nature and health of your garden. Your role as garden steward is to encourage the balance in your favor, not to take over nature's role in the name of achieving the goal of perfection.
DO SOMETHING NOW!!! It's up to us to stop our politicians from sending us to war.

Electromagnetic fields are a type of low-level radiation generated by computer terminals, microwave ovens, and other electronic devices. The Earth itself produces some energy fields that are detrimental to human health as well, commonly referred to as geopathic stress. While the intensity of these fields is small, studies continue to show that they may be a factor in a number of chronic illnesses, including cancer, heart disease, and sleep disorders.
RPHP, a nonprofit organization, is conducting a national study of the levels of radioactive strontium-90 (Sr-90) in baby teeth to determine how much radioactivity is entering our bones. This information is crucial for determining whether nuclear power plants and weapons facilities are affecting our health and contributing to America's cancer epidemic.
I've written a book about Bush's environmental record, but it's not so much about the environment as it is about an excess of corporate power and the corrosive impact of that on our democracy. And it's not about a Democrat attacking a Republican. I've been disciplined for 20 years as an environmental advocate about being non-partisan and bi-partisan in my approach to these issues. I don't think there's any such thing as Republican children or Democratic children.
