Don’t Buy, Borrow

Every city and town should have a tool library

The tool library: it’s a brilliant concept that embodies the true meaning of the shared economy. At its core, a tool library is a place where civilians can rent or borrow community-owned tools such as hammers and drills instead of having to buy separate tools themselves. Having a tool library in your community is a win-win-win scenario. You get the end result you need, the provider of the services makes a bit of money, and the environment is not under any pressure. Over the years we’ve watched tool libraries come and go, but now they seem to be making a comeback—mainly because people are figuring out ways to manage them properly. One problem with tool libraries is that they require a lot of commitment and management, with volunteers having to sit around to make sure everything runs smoothly. The co-founder of the Vancouver tool library, Chris Diplock, has developed a solution to this problem. This tool haven doesn’t require volunteers and is basically a nicely decorated shipping container filled with useful things. Community members can book items online, then access the container themselves using a code. Once inside, they scan what they need and get to work. If we can get more of these self-contained tool libraries in cities and towns, it will not only spare the environment a bit but also help to foster stronger communities. READ MORE

Recycle – even that old shirt!

Don’t toss your old clothes in the trash! Here’s how to recycle them instead

No matter how much you might want to keep repairing your longtime favorite shirt so you can keep wearing it, at some point, it’s time to let it go. But wait! Don’t throw in the trash. Textile waste, which includes everything from old shirts to carpets and comforters, is an enormous problem. We recycle a remarkably small percentage of textiles in the US, and in 2015, 10.5 million tons of textile waste ended up in our landfills. Instead of tossing your old clothes in the trash, here are a few ways to properly recycle it. One way is to drop off or mail in your old shirt to San-Francisco based retailer Marine Layer, which launched the “Re-Spun” recycling initiative aimed at tackling the problem with textile waste. For every t-shirt you drop off or mail in, you’ll receive $5 in credit, up to a limit of $25 (though there’s no limit on the number of tees you can donate, so it’s not a bad opportunity to declutter your closet once and for all). From here, according to Marine Layer’s website, the shirt will be broken down into fibers, turned into yarn, and then recycled into a new tee to be sold in stores. If you’re feeling a little cynical about a retailer making money off your old clothes, there are other ways to get rid of your old clothes. Of course, you can always try a consignment or thrift store, which may give you more (or less) than the value given by Marine Layer. If left with unsold clothing, however, stores like Goodwill may inevitably ship them off to a landfill. Otherwise, you can use Earth911’s locator to find a retailer or facility that’ll accept your used clothing; both H&M and the North Face stores accept any brand of clothing for recycling or reuse.

Try using reflexology to treat common discomforts and body pains

You hate the taste of medicine but you are having a bad headache and rushing to finish your work. What do you do? Well, rather than reaching for those over-the-counter painkillers, try considering reflexology, an alternative medicine practice of applying pressure to specific “reflex points” located on the hands, ears, and feet, points which all correspond to different organs of the body. Also known as zone therapy, this alternative method has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its ability to alleviate pain. Some of its most common health benefits include improved circulation, reduced stress, and alleviation of allergy symptoms. If you prefer skipping the pills or if access to medicine is limited wherever you happen to be, relieving common discomfort or pain in your body through hand reflexology may just do the trick. Take a look here for four illustrated tricks you can try in order relieve a headache, ease your neck and back pain, prevent a cold, or even fend off your insomnia. READ MORE

How to build stronger synergy between you and your partner

You always have a choice to empower your heart and your partner’s to synergistic action, or not. And so does your partner. When you realize you always have a choice to emote words or actions that “move” you and your partner’s mind and body to action primarily from emotions of fear — or love — then you understand pure power is always a choice, and breath away for each. But if you’re not quite sure how to amp up the synergy in your relationship, these four steps will help show you the way. First, pause to understand fear as an action signal and teacher. Fear is an opportunity to listen and tune in more closely. It may be a call to take a seemingly small action, such as to pause and be aware of your self-talk, and better understand how your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and actions all work together. When fear rears its head, the winning argument can be to respond by being present in mind and body, an essential first step to better understand self and other, to empathize, validate one other’s feelings and wants, and so on. Second, resolve to never let fear take over your imagination. You know when fear is in charge of your mind and body because, automatically, you’re in a rabbit hole where everything seems dark. Rather than shrink from the discomfort of fear, opt to transform fear to powerful energy. And invite your partner to do the same! It will take both of you working together. Third, shift away from bullying to inspiring partnership and teamwork. No matter how logical an argument, if one partner comes to feel they are getting the short end of the stick, or being asked to act against their own behalf, both will lose with high costs to their relationship. The real winning argument is an offering of mutual understanding of one another’s wants and yearnings. Four, think of actions that keep you following your bliss. As partners, clarify and share a vision that inspires you both to grow heart-power synergy in your relationship. Brainstorm conscious ways you each take action, some small steps, if only a smile, to reinforce the positive direction you yearn to take or goal to realize. READ MORE

Struggling to quit? New study offers renewed hope

Pleasant smells may help smokers resist cigarette cravings

Kicking their cigarette habits for good represents a real challenge for many people. While most adult smokers admit they want to quit, about half of those who try to stop relapse within two weeks. There are many approaches that people use to cease smoking like nicotine gum or behavioral therapy, but most of them fail to treat the actual addiction. Now, a recent study has shown that there may be a novel option when it comes to giving up cigarettes. The findings suggested that smokers may find cigarettes easier to resist when they smell things they enjoy like peppermint or chocolate. The researchers recruited 232 smokers who were asked to smell and rate a number of different odors generally considered to be pleasant (like chocolate, vanilla, or lemon) as well as one unpleasant chemical odor, tobacco from the participant’s preferred brand of cigarettes and one blank (no odor). They were asked then to light a cigarette and hold it in their hands, but not smoke it. After 10 seconds, the participants verbally rated their urge to smoke on a scale of 1 to 100 before putting out the cigarette. The average craving score just after lighting the cigarette was 82.13. However, with a pleasant odor, craving scores dropped almost double than those with a tobacco odor or with the blank. While it’s premature to make any solid conclusions, the results are intriguing and support the need to further investigate why and for whom olfactory cues might be effective. READ MORE
