I am so glad that I am now able to be in touch with others who are creating alternatives and conscious of all the choices available to us in making our nests more in tune with a peaceful and therefore sustainable lifestyle.
I teach for Deepak Chopra, am certfied and work as a Vegan, Live foods Chef and Educator as well as a meditation , Hatha Yoga and Pilates teacher and I am a student of life in all its aspects.
I am excited to read about all the greener options that others have dedicated their lives to making available to us. Thanks to everyone on this site for sharing so readily of your gifts. I am in the process of writing a third book called Recipes For Life and welcome contributors on green , luxury building options to participate.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Maxmsf
It would be an honour to. Thanks.
Here is an article I wrote for a Canadian website recently:
WHY A VEGAN AND LIVE FOODS DIET?
by Dorit of SerenitySpaces.org
1) Because an animal based diet has created an industry which contributes to the largest source of
Global Warming in the World (see the United Nations FAO Report on Lifestock's Long Shadow
available at www.serenityspaces.org)
2) Because cooking depletes the minerals, vitamins and enzymes needed for nutrition.
3) Because our bodies need foods that are Alive in other to keep us Alive. Dead foods (as in most
cooked foods) cannot be used to create new, live cells. Cooked foods result in cell depletion, dehydration and eventually a feeling of lethargy, apathy and depression. Remember how you feel around
2-3pm after having eaten a cooked, meat oriented meal.
4) Eating straight from Nature leads to a continued connection with the essence of who we are: That is,
a product of Nature. To disconnect from this basic of all Truths is the beginning of Misery and the
feeling of disconnection so prevalent in youth and in prisons.
5) The modern animal based industries routinely imprison and torture our fellow companions on Earth
(animals) all in the name of a Big, Juicy Steak or Burger.
6) When we practice Compassion we live our humanity from the highest part of our very essence.
7) Because your very existence and that of the Earth depends on you making conscious choices on a
minute to minute basis. Whatever action we take immediately invites and attracts another (in kind)
action equivalent to and as a result of our action. This is the Law of Karma (also known as the law of
Attraction)
8) Because a raw, vegan diet is sustainable and renews, energizes and balances the human body.
9) Because we are Stewards of the Earth and all our fellow travellers depend on us to make compassionate, health filled choices.
10) Because you are an important, integral and indispensable link whether you believe it or not. Your
decision affects an entire chain of events and the key to mastering your life is to make choices based
on knowledge and awareness.
