letterfrompublisher Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. ~ Lao Tzu

F

or this month’s theme, Green Living on a Blue Planet, we focus on one of the most basic and important things in life—water. As the world’s population grows and pressure increases on our natural resources, reliable sources of fresh water become an ever more precious resource. Many environmentalists and economists predict future wars will be fought not over oil, but over water rights and holdings.

In our feature article, “Water Water Everywhere… But Will There Be Enough?” Sandra Postel suggests some proven community solutions to this crisis.

It’s clear that cities, towns and rural areas everywhere must move now to manage water supplies if we are to have enough water for present and future needs.

But wow, it’s eye-opening to learn of the volume of water used to produce our food and common household items. Have you ever considered the tonnage of water used to manufacture a computer, television or car that we replace every few years? A new pair of jeans costs 2,800 gallons of fresh water to produce.

What about golf courses? They collectively cost U.S. citizens 3.1 billion gallons of water a day, and only a small percentage of it recycled wastewater.

Reading the list on page 22 reminded me how easy it is for us to take water for granted.

We do not have to completely live “off the grid,” as Daryl Hannah does at home in “Loving a Sustainable Life.” But there are many things we can do right where we are. The more we are aware of the impacts our daily practices have on the environment, the better we are able to contribute to the conservation of our precious God-given resources, including energy and water.

Don’t forget to pick up a copy of our 2011-2012 Conscious Living Resource Directory Directory, available free all over Tucson. It contains a comprehensive listing of holistic and alternative healthcare providers , products and spiritual options for you to explore.

When oxygen and hydrogen find one another, their joining produces fiery passion. Out of this fire, water is born.

Quaint Victorian chemistry gives us an image of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms in a fixed molecule that bounces around from place to place. The reality of water is not so orderly. The hydrogen atoms are not owned by any particular oxygen atom. Water is a substance very much in love with itself, and the atoms connect in webs and clusters where oxygen shares around the hydrogen atoms freely, a fluid situation indeed. ~ Ian D. Anderson, Ian Lurking Bear

newsbriefs Tucson Pharmacist

Offers Personalized Service

C

ristina Manos, a licensed pharmacist, is offering a new approach she calls Medication Review to an old service. In the present era of healthcare, where people are educating themselves and making their own decisions, making decisions about pharmaceutical, prescription and over-the-counter drugs, can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, this is also an era of overprescribing, which often means that pharmacists in a retail setting are too busy to sit down with each person for a comprehensive review of their medication profile.

People are looking for honest answers about which medications are actually necessary for them, which medications may have less expensive alternatives and which medications may be causing exhaustion or other unwanted side effects.

Medication Review is a preventative measure and can be looked at like yearly maintenance on your treatment plan. Manos will do a comprehensive review of an individual’s medications and supplements and work with willing physicians or other healthcare providers to make alternate suggestions in case medications are causing a health or budget issue. Manos wants to help guide people toward achieving their ideal level of health and wellness.

National Feral Cat Day is October 16

T

he Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) estimates that there are 50 million stray and feral cats, also known as community cats, in this country. Strays are former pets that escaped their home or were left behind by people. Feral cats—the offspring of strays or other feral cats—are typically afraid of people. They may roam alone or live in groups populated in large part by related females. “Feral kittens that are younger than eight weeks have a good chance of being tamed and adopted,” advises Nancy Peterson, cat programs manager for the HSUS. “People can help stray and feral cats using a strategy known as Trap-Neuter-Return. TNR involves catching the cats in special no-harm traps, and then having a veterinarian vaccinate them against diseases and spay or neuter them, which keeps them from having more kittens,” says Peterson. She notes that the veterinarian also clips the tip of one ear to indicate that the cat has already been spayed or neutered.

greenbriefs Hidden Benefits of a Green Home

W

hen people describe what a green home is, they usually talk about solar panels and compact fluorescent light bulbs. These two items are part of making a home energy efficient and a major component of green homes, but there’s much more to energy efficiency, including high-quality windows, insulation and sealing, and an efficient air conditioner.

Homes built to Energy Star requirements are at least 15 percent more efficient than a home built to current code. There are even building standards being developed for net-zero energy homes that produce as much energy as they take off the electrical grid.

Some benefits of energy efficiency are obvious, such as saving money on your monthly utilities. One that’s not at all obvious is that energy efficiency saves water. According to Pima Jan Anderson County’s Green Building Evaluation, it takes 0.75 gallons of water to produce 1kWh of electricity. If you use 1,200 kWh a month, that’s equivalent to 900 gallons of water monthly, or 10,800 gallons per year.

Energy-efficient homes have a huge potential to conserve water, so by conserving energy we benefit ourselves financially and help our community, as well.

Tucson

n 2010, Tucson more than doubled the number of annual solar installations and 2011 is on track to continue this trend. The cost of solar panels has dropped significantly; utility rebates, combined with state and federal tax credits now make the cost affordable for most homeowners and businesses, with a rate of return that is better than a savings account.

Melissa Black, mechanical engineer and president of Solar Gain, Inc., says, “It has never been a better time to install solar energy, saving money and being good stewards of our environment.”

As part of the energy solution, reducing our use of fossil fuels to make electricity and utilizing Tucson’s abundant natural resource, the sun for a wealthy economy, Solar Gain recently installed a 13.8 kW solar photovoltaic system that yielded the residents a utility bill of $7.54.

Solar Gain is affiliated with the Southern Arizona Regional Solar Partnership and the Arizona Solar Energy Association.

actionalert First-Ever Eat GMO-Free Challenge

N

on-GMO activism is heating up in Tucson! As part of a nationwide effort by activists to educate people about genetically modified organisms (GMO) in our food supply, the GMO Free Project of Tucson (GFPT) is sponsoring an Eat GMO-Free Challenge.

GFPT director of education Melissa Diane Smith will teach a class, Do You Know What’s Hidden in Your Food?

A Primer on GMOs, at 6:30 p.m., October 20, at Catalina Foothills High School.

GFPT Executive Director Mascha Miedaner will participate in the historic Right2Know March from New York City to the White House, in Washington, D.C., from October 1 to 16, to demand labeling of GMOs in foods. Read her updates from the event on GFPT’s website and Facebook page, both of which will feature a tip each day in October.

In August, GFPT and the GMO Tipping Point Network of Tucson joined forces to more efficiently lead the non-GMO movement in Tucson.

GMOs are genetically modified organisms, organisms that would never occur in nature but instead were created in a lab by large agrichemical corporations. Most people are not aware that GMOs are in many foods that they eat on a regular basis.

What is Constantly Attended Acupuncture?

P

ractices in acupuncture can vary in technique, and one variation is constantly attended acupuncture, as practiced by Nancy Gilliam, in Tucson. She says, “I chose this style for my patients’ safety and comfort. My patients know that they will not be left lying on a table alone in a treatment room for 20 minutes and that they will have my undivided attention during their treatment.”

During an acupuncture treatment, the patient may experience many different sensations, especially as the chi arrives. If the patient isn’t aware, and many aren’t, that there is a needle inserted in a point that is causing the sensation, they may reach to rub or scratch the area.

If the practitioner is not present in the room, this may result in the needle breaking or becoming Nancy Gilliam, L.Ac. bent. When the practitioner is constantly attending the patient, he or she can gently remind the patient that the sensation is from the chi and that there is a needle present at the site.

If the sensation becomes uncomfortable, then the practitioner is available to safely remove it.

J

u a n a n d S h e r r y Te j a d a , o f American Health Acupuncture, have dedicated their lives to the principle of feeling your very best and enjoying life to the fullest through the healing energy of acupuncture that empowers inner restorative healing power. They use this natural healing to treat many conditions, from fibromyalgia and arthritis to colds and flu, migraines, back and neck pain, digestive problems and more.

Hypnotherapy and HypnoPuncture are used for conditions such as quitting smoking, weight control, pain management, sleep disorders and more. After receiving treatments, patients say their “AHA” experience changed their lives—like feeling relaxed and peaceful; energized and motivated; looking and feeling younger; increased immunity and conquering depression. Juan and Sherry want everyone to understand what an “AHA” experience is all about… it’s so much more than just needles.

Nationwide CAM Observance October 24

T

he National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a component of the National Institutes of Health, estimates that 36 percent of American adults use some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), including acupuncture, acupressure, herbal medicine, Tai chi and qi gong. Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Day, October 24 is part of an effort to increase public awareness of the progress, promise, and benefits of acupuncture and Oriental medicine.

A survey by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine found that approximately one in 10 adults had received acupuncture at least once and 60 percent said they would readily consider acupuncture as a potential treatment option. One in five reported that they had utilized some other form of Oriental medicine besides acupuncture, such as herbs or bodywork, such as shiatsu.

Studies clearly demonstrate that CAM therapies such as acupuncture and Oriental medicine are common practice in today’s health care system and support the need for consumers to be provided accurate and reliable information regarding treatment options.

S a ff l o w e r Oil — Good for the Heart

S

afflower oil, a common cooking oil, may help improve insulin sensitivity, lower inflammation and blood sugar levels, and elevate HDL (good) cholesterol in overweight women with Type 2 diabetes, according to new research from Ohio State University. The study also revealed that the oil helps reduce abdominal fat, which is linked to an increased risk of heart disease. The findings indicate that a daily dietary dose of one and two-thirds teaspoons is sufficient for a person to benefit from the oil’s health-protective effects.

Cautionary News about Calcium

N

ew research published online in the British Medical Journal adds to mounting evidence that calcium supplements may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, particularly heart attacks, in postmenopausal women.

Many older women take calcium supplements to manage osteoporosis, but after re-analyzing data on 16,718 women participating in the seven-year Women’s Health Initiative Calcium/ Vitamin D Supplementation Study, researchers at the University of Auckland, in New Zealand, now urge reassessment of calcium prescriptions to maintain bone health. Their metastudy showed that postmenopausal women that took combined calcium and vitamin D supplements had increased risk of heart attacks.

healthbriefs October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Household Chemicals May Pose Risk for Breast Cancer

A

study recently published in the journal Environmental Health reports that frequent use of common household cleaning products may increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer. The study was undertaken by the Silent Spring Institute, a partnership of scientists, physicians, public health advocates and community activists dedicated to identifying links between the environment and women’s health, especially breast cancer. Researchers conducted telephone interviews with 787 women diagnosed with breast cancer and 721 comparison women, questioning them about their product use, beliefs about breast cancer causes, and established and suspected risk factors.

Executive Director Julia G. Brody, Ph.D., says, “Women who reported the highest combined cleaning product use had a doubled risk of breast cancer compared to those with the lowest reported use. Use of air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control were associated with increased risk. To our knowledge, this is the first published report on cleaning product use and the risk of breast cancer.” The use of insect repellents was also associated with increased risk.

The Science Behind an Apple a Day

A

ccording to Bahram H. Arjmandi, Ph.D., a registered dietician and chair of the Department of Nutrition, Food and Exercise Sciences at Florida State University, there is scientific truth in the adage, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

The nationally recognized nutrition researcher, a Margaret A. Sitton professor, maintains that apples are a “miracle fruit,” providing health benefits beyond fiber.

Earlier animal studies have shown that the pectin and polyphenols in apples improve lipid metabolism and lower the production of pro-inflammatory molecules. Arjmandi’s new study is the first to evaluate the long-term cardio-protective effects of eating apples daily. He randomly assigned 160 women, ages 45 to 65, to one of two dietary intervention groups: one received 75 grams of dried apples each day (the equivalent of four or five fresh apples); the other ate dried prunes.

Arjmandi reports surprising results: “Incredible changes in the apple-eating women happened by six months—they experienced a 23 percent decrease in LDL [bad] cholesterol.” Daily apple consumption also led to lower levels of C-reactive protein, which is known to trigger inflammation in the body. In another unexpected benefit, the apple-eaters lost an average of 3.3 pounds.

greenbusinessspotlight Lotus Goes Greener and Greener

L

otus Massage & We l l n e s s C e n t e r recently completed audits and improvement projects as part of the City of Tucson Green Business Certification Program, which requires new projects be implemented annually, so even a venue like Lotus Center, which opened in 2007 as a genuinely green business, is continually growing greener.

Recent projects include improving insulation and weather stripping and making their traditional adobe construction more energy efficient, as well as quieter and more comfortable for massage clients.

Tucson Water now recognizes Lotus Center as “WaterSmart,” achieving 44 of 45 points in best management practices. The center staff is proud to have their efforts acknowledged on a national level as well, through a seal of approval from Green America as an approved member of their Green Business Network.

Many of the environmental measures at Lotus Massage & Wellness Center are not obvious, from purchasing organic massage lubricants and natural cleaning supplies to carbon offsets. Founder Laura Key says that a full list would be too lengthy to print.

Adaptive reuse of a classic 1930 adobe structure provides an atmosphere that feels welcoming, relaxing and “totally Tucson.” The effort to be green does not distract the Lotus Center staff from giving careful attention to their bodywork and energy work abilities. They enjoy “treatment trades” and “skill share” sessions as well as giving clients therapeutic massage that feels wonderful and gives lasting benefits.

HOW TO GREEN A BUSINESS Simple Steps to an Eco-Friendly Bottom Line

by Derek Markham

N

o business owner relishes spending extra money for something that won’t immediately pay for itself with increased revenue, and greening one’s operations is such an endeavor. However, one common misperception is that going green costs money that cuts into the bottom line, when in fact, some options will end up saving money, adding to profits or making it possible to offer lower-priced products and services than the competition. Here’s how:

1

Write an environmental mission statement: Craft a green mission statement, display it prominently and review it periodically. Having a clear vision helps to define being green and communicate it to customers.

2

Join green business groups: Use green business networks to learn from others or to form partnerships or collaborate. In an effective network, any associated cost will likely pay for itself through increased knowledge, customers and collaboration.

3

Practice green marketing: Add digital messaging to the mix, using social media, a blog and banner advertising. The Internet provides a real-time network for communicating with business stakeholders.

4

Operate a green office: Take office supplies, materials and space to the next green level by making eco-friendly choices, which may mean eliminating some items entirely. For example, replace disposables with a durable or permanent equivalent.

5

Choose green communications: Explore obtaining telephone and Internet services from a green or socially responsible company. Use teleconferencing or video calls to reduce transportation and explore the many free options available, such as Skype.

6

Encourage alternative transportation: Give employees incentives to carpool or ride bikes.

Provide telecommuting options.

7

Use local materials and services: Local sourcing helps eliminate excess transportation, while also supporting the community.

8

Find new materials: Investigate nonobvious alternatives. The greener option may not have a much higher cost, and might also be used as a green marketing hook.

9

Build a culture that’s conducive to reusing and recycling: Making both the norm means such initiatives will flourish without having to continually change people’s habits.

Implement paperless banking and billing: Choose electronic bank statements, invoices and billing for suppliers and utilities. Use the computer to send and receive faxes instead of producing printed copies.

Green the air: Clean indoor air by using live plants. Install an air filtration system to protect employees and customers.

Conduct a life-cycle assessment: Current manufacturing processes might include unnecessary steps or materials; assessing product life cycles can identify cost or time savings.

Make something green: Take an everyday item and create a green version of it. New niches pop up all the time.

Integrate green into the business plan: Start designing green elements into any business from day one or as soon as possible.

NUTRITION Water Myths and Truths

by Catherine Guthrie

Water is good for both body and soul, but you don’t need to drink as much as you might think. Here’s the truth about what’s sufficient, plus five other myths about water.

F

or the past 50 years, nutritionists and other health experts have been exhorting Americans to drink more water. If the ubiquity of water bottles is anything to go by, the message has been received loud and clear. But now, updated research lets us off the hook. It turns out that much of the water craze springs from a deep well of misinformation. Our experts debunk some of the most popular water myths.

MYTH: You need eight, eight-ounce glasses of water a day to be healthy.

TRUTH: The familiar eight-by-eight rule is likely based on misinterpretation, rather than scientific certainty, says Dr. Heinz Valtin, a kidney specialist, textbook author and retired professor at Dartmouth Medical School, in Hanover, New Hampshire. Valtin traces the prescription to a 1945 recommendation by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council to take in, “1 milliliter for each calorie of food.”

In a study published in the American Journal of Physiology in 2002, Valtin explains that most of that allotment already comes from the foods we eat. He not only discredits the need for most people to consume this “mythical” amount of water every day, but writes that the recommendation is potentially harmful, by making people feel guilty for not drinking enough.

“The consumer ended up thinking only plain water counts,” says Ann Grandjean, Ph.D., a hydration researcher and medical nutritionist with the University of Nebraska

Medical Center, in Omaha. But almost all liquids—including tea, coffee and beer— count toward the daily water intake, she says.

So, how much should you be drinking? Researchers at the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine, after reviewing more than 400 studies, including Valtin’s, set the general daily intake for women and men at about 91 and 125 ounces, respectively.

Th e ave ra g e A m e r i c a n receives 20 percent of this daily water intake from food.

The remaining 80 percent comes from all beverages— not just water.

MYTH: Caffeinated beverages zap the body’s water reserves.

TRUTH: Grandjean first became interested in the reputed link between dehydration and caffeine while working as a consultant to the United States Olympic Committee. “I worked with elite athletes, and I noticed they drank a lot of caffeinated beverages without showing any sign of dehydration,” she says. In 2000, she published a study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition showing that the body doesn’t discriminate between regular and decaf beverages when it comes to hydration.

MYTH: If you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.

TRUTH: While thirst is an accurate barometer of when to imbibe, the notion that thirst signals a dehydrated body is not true, says Valtin. Thirst is triggered when the blood’s concentration of solid particles rises by 2 percent. Dehydration occurs when the blood concentration rises by 5 percent. So, thirst sets in before dehydration and people who shrug off their thirst can find themselves on the path to dehydration.

“Thirst is the first indicator of the body’s need for water,” cautions Dee Sandquist, a spokesperson for the American

Dietetic Association.

Signs to wa t ch o u t for include headache, dry mouth, rapid pulse and lightheadedness.

MYTH: Urine should be clear.

TRUTH: Perpetually clear urine can actually be a sign of drinking too much water, which can dilute the body’s electrolytes, according to Grandjean. “Healthy urine should have some color,” she counsels. Certain vitamins, such as riboflavin (B2), can darken urine.

MYTH: Drinking a lot of water suppresses the appetite.

TRUTH: While being adequately hydrated helps the metabolism run at its optimal level, drinking vast quantities of water won’t affect the overall amount of food you eat. Because water quickly empties from the stomach, drinking water has little effect on appetite, says Barbara Rolls, director of the Laboratory for the Study of Human Ingestive Behavior, at Pennsylvania State University. Eating foods that have a high water content, such as fruits, vegetables, soups and grains, can help us to feel sated.

MYTH: Bottled water is always better than tap water.

TRUTH: Not necessarily. Be aware that bottled water is often just tap water. A Natural Resources Defense Council report cites government and industry findings that 25 percent of bottled water is plain tap water; sometimes treated, sometimes not. NSF International certification indicates brands that meet federal safety standards.

Xanadu Salon and Spa A Journey of Hope and Beauty

by Katharine Connelly Nelson

S

ometimes living a green life is not about how we reduce, reuse and recycle, but rather about how we take care of each other and rejuvenate. It is about seeing the needs of the people and businesses around us and doing what we can to help each other get through difficult times.

Xanadu Salon and Spa moved their business from their location for almost three decades to a new one in April, and then in May, the unthinkable happened: a fire destroyed part of their building. Even areas of a building that are seemingly unaffected by the fire still have issues such as smoke damage.

Sometimes green living is more about community restoring the needs of a person or business and making it whole again then it is about the usual green practices. It took three weeks of cleaning the side of the salon that was not burned to be able to resume offering hair care and nail care services.

During that time, not only did the staff at the salon pitch in to help with the cleanup, but customers and suppliers came by to help. It took only a few weeks after that to open the salon for business again, but it has taken several months to clear away and replace the damaged skincare and spa equipment,

rebuild the building and completely redecorate the spa.

Xanadu owner Victoria Gonzalez has infused the salon with her own adventurous decorating style. The new and improved building features a bold red-and-grey color scheme, with splashes of animal prints making a colorful, bold statement in the salon on everything from chairs, business cards and pictures on the walls. This new dĂŠcor creates and atmosphere of adventure and a fresh start, which is just what the salon and staff are all about.

Gonzalez is passionate about offering Tucsonans a place where they can come to learn about a variety of spa services and permanent makeup, as well as finding the right hairstyle with creative haircuts and color techniques, creating a daily skin care regiment and putting your best foot/hand forward with nail treatments. Xanadu also offers waxing services, weight loss programs and massage treatments. In keeping with their philosophy of finding and using the best products available the salon also features several natural (organic) product lines for both hair care and skin care.

The staff at Xanadu is extremely passionate and caring, which is seen in all the special events they put on throughout the year. They believe in the importance of giving back to the community they serve, by using their talents to raise money for important causes, such as the Tucson Medical Center for Children; The American Cancer Society, to help support breast cancer research and many others. It is all about uplifting each other to be able to achieve the greater goals of the community and meeting the needs of those most in need that may be facing overwhelming medical issues.

Making a difference with training and special events Education is an important focus for the staff. They achieve their high standards of continuing education by attending at least two major professional cosmetology shows a year, where they learn about all of the newest advances in products, techniques, hairstyles and available spa treatments. They believe in passing on this information to their customers, because they know how important it is for their clients to not only receive quality salon and spa service, but to also understand the benefits of these treatments.

One way that they share information on a monthly basis with new and current customers is with Girls Night Out events. Each month, the stylists focus on a different topic and share information, while offering free salon and spa treatments to anyone that would like to spend a few hours being pampered with their friends.

The best way to find out about specials and events that are coming up is to follow them on Facebook. It is a great way to receive discounts on services and to participate in the many fundraising events to which they donate their time and talents each month.

For more information about all of the incredible services and treatments that are offered at Xanadu Salon and Spa, be sure to visit their website.

Be pampered in a relaxing setting by caring, professional and well-trained stylists and therapists. You may walk in frazzled, but the staff at Xanadu guarantees that you will leave feeling a sense of renewed energy and wellbeing.

Here is a look at some of the scheduled special events in October:

October 3-8: Head-to-toe-tour. Pampered guests will receive a foot reflexology, a hydrating hot paraffin bath and a non-surgical facelift for $30 ($155.00 value).

October 10-15: Learn about how to detoxify your body: Experience a 20-minute Aqua Detox Treatment (foot bath using infra red technology), enjoy Kangen Water (an ionized alkaline water available to take home—just bring an empty water bottle) and learn about Hydrocolon Therapy for $30.

Also save 50 percent on body contour wraps.

October 17-22: If you’re tired of the wrong hair color, flat/thin hair or having bad hair days, then its time to meet Mickie, master stylist for a makeover consultation. Receive a complementary feather or hair extension and learn the latest on how to achieve fullness and volume in your hair. She can show you how extensions can help without damaging your hair.

October 24-29: Join the Xanadu team in Making Strides Against Cancer. This week, they will be donating 20 percent of all service fees to the American Cancer Society.

October 29: From 4 to 7 p.m., join a special fundraising event.

Stylists will be cutting hair, applying pink feathers and makeup and offering reflexology treatments and chair massages to help raise funds. Come enjoy the food, music and special entertainment. 100 percent of the donations collected during this event will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

October 30: Join the Xanadu team for the American Cancer Society ninth annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. Registration is at 7 a.m. and the walk starts at 8 a.m., at the Kino Sports Complex. For more information or to register visit MakingStrides.acsevents.org/Tucson.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE… But Will There Be Enough?

by Sandra Postel

Climate scientists warn of more extreme droughts and floods and changing precipitation patterns that will continue to make weather, storms and natural disasters more severe and less predictable. As a policy forum in the journal Science notes, the historical data and statistical tools used to plan billions of dollars worth of annual global investment in dams, flood control structures, diversion projects and other big pieces of water infrastructure are no longer reliable. Yet today’s decisions about using, allocating and managing water will determine the survival of most of the planet’s species, including our own.

For at least three decades, Americans have talked about our uncertain energy future, but we’ve mostly ignored another Shifting Course worrisome crisis—water.

C

heap and seemingly abundant, water is so common that it’s hard to believe we could ever run out of it. Ever since the Apollo 8 astronauts photographed Earth from space in 1968, we’ve had the image of our home as a strikingly blue planet, a place of great water wealth. But of all the water on Earth, only about 2.5 percent is fresh— and two-thirds of that is locked up in glaciers and ice caps. Less than one hundredth of 1 percent of Earth’s water is fresh and available.

Across the United States and around the world, we’re already reaching or overshooting the limits of Earth’s natural replenishment of fresh water through the hydrologic cycle. The Colorado and Rio Grande rivers are now so over-tapped that they discharge little or no water into the sea for months at a time. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the massive Ogallala Aquifer, which spans parts of eight states, from southern South Dakota to northwest Texas, and provides 30 percent of the groundwater used for irrigation in the country, is steadily being depleted. In much of the world, we’re growing food and supplying water to communities by over-pumping groundwater. This creates a potential

Tucson

crisis in the food economy: We are meeting some of today’s food needs with tomorrow’s water.

T h e C h a n g i n g Climate Equation

Due to climate change, we may no longer be able to count on familiar patterns of rain and snow and river flow to refill our urban reservoirs, irrigate our farms and power our dams. While farmers in the Midwest were recovering from the spring flood of 2008 (in some areas, the second “100-year flood” in 15 years), farmers in California and Texas allowed cropland to lie fallow and sent cattle to early slaughter to cope with the drought of 2009.

In the Southeast, after 20 months of dryness, then-Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue stood outside the state capitol in November 2007 and led a prayer for rain. Two years later, he was pleading instead for federal aid, after intense rainfall near Atlanta caused massive flooding that claimed eight lives.

This year again saw record regional precipitation, this time producing epic flooding in the Mississippi and Missouri river basins.

For most of modern history, water management has focused on bringing water under human control and transferring it to expanding cities, industries and farms via dams, large water-transfer projects and wells that tap underground aquifers. Major water programs have allowed cities like Phoenix and Las Vegas to thrive in the desert, the expansion of world food production, and rising living standards for hundreds of millions. But globally, they have worsened social inequities as tens of millions of poor people are dislocated from their homes to make way for dams and canals, while hundreds of millions in downstream communities lose the currents that sustain their livelihoods.

Such approaches also ignore water’s limits and the value of healthy ecosystems. Today, many rivers flow like plumbing works, turned on and off like water from a faucet. It’s tougher for fish, mussels, river birds and other aquatic life to survive; a 2008 assessment led by the USGS found that 40 percent of all fish species in North America are at risk of extinction.

Meanwhile, many leaders and localities are calling for even bigger versions of past water management

strategies. By some estimates, the volume of water relocated through river transfer schemes could more than double globally by 2020. But mega-projects are risky in a warming world, where rainfall and river flow patterns are changing in uncertain ways and require costly power for pumping, moving, treating and distributing at each stage.

Some planners and policymakers are eyeing desalination as a silver bullet solution to potential water shortages. But they miss—or dismiss—the perverse irony: by burning more fossil fuels and by making local water supplies more and more dependent on increasingly expensive energy, desalination creates more problems than it solves.

Producing one cubic meter of drinkable water from salt water requires about two kilowatt-hours of electricity, using present technology.

Water for People and Nature

Thus, a vanguard of citizens, communities, farmers and corporations are thinking about water in a new way. They’re asking what we really need the water for, and whether we can meet that need with less. The result of this shift in thinking is a new movement in water management that focuses on ingenuity and ecological intelligence instead of big pumps, pipelines, dams and canals. These solutions tend to work with nature, rather than against it, making effective use of the “ecosystem services” provided by healthy watersheds and wetlands. Through better technologies and informed choices, they seek to raise water productivity and make every drop count.

Communities are finding that protecting watersheds is an effective way to make sure water supplies are clean and reliable; plus, they can do the work of a water treatment plant in filtering out pollutants at a lower cost. New York City is investing $1.5 billion to restore and protect the Catskill-Delaware Watershed, which supplies 90 percent of its drinking water, in lieu of constructing a $10 billion filtration plant that would cost an additional $300 million a year to operate. Research published in Natural Resources Forum further shows that a number of other U.S. cities—from tiny Auburn, Maine, to Seattle—have saved hundreds of millions of dollars in capital and operating costs of filtration plants by instead opting for watershed protection.

Communities facing increased flood threats are achieving cost-effective protection by restoring rivers.

After enduring 19 floods between 1961 and 1997, Napa, California, opted for this approach over the conventional route of channeling and building levees. In partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a $366 million project is reconnecting the Napa River with its historic floodplain, moving homes and businesses out of harm’s way, revitalizing wetlands and marshlands and constructing levees and bypass channels in strategic locations. Napa residents will benefit from increased flood protection and reduced flood insurance rates, plus new parks and trails for recreation, higher tourism revenues and improved habitats for fish and wildlife.

Communities prone to excessive storm water runoff can turn existing structures into water catchments. Portland, Oregon, is investing in “green roofs” and “green streets” to prevent sewers from overflowing into the Willamette River.

Chicago now boasts more than 200 green roofs—including atop City Hall—that collectively cover 2.5 million square feet, more than any other U.S. city. The vegetated roofs are providing space for urban gardens and helping to catch storm water and

cool the urban environment. Parking lots, too, can be harnessed.

Many communities are revitalizing their rivers by tearing down dams that are no longer safe or serving a useful purpose, thus opening up habitats for fisheries, restoring healthier water flows and improving aquatic quality.

In the 10 years since the Edwards Dam was removed from the Kennebec River, near Augusta, Maine, populations of alewives and striped bass have returned in astounding numbers, reviving a recreational fishery that adds $65 million annually to the local economy.

Watershed Moments

Conservation remains the least expensive and most environmentally sound way of balancing water budgets. From Boston to San Antonio to Los Angeles, water consumption has decreased via relatively simple measures like repairing leaks in distribution systems; retrofitting homes and businesses with water-efficient fixtures and appliances; and promoting more sensible and efficient outdoor water use.

But the potential for conservation has barely been tapped. It is especially crucial in agriculture, because irrigation accounts for 70 percent of water use worldwide, and even more in the western United States. Getting more crop per drop is central to meeting future food needs sustainably. California farmers are turning to drip irrigation, which delivers water at low volumes directly

to the roots of crops. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture figures, between 2003 and 2008, California’s drip and micro-sprinkler area expanded by 630,000 acres, to a total of 2.3 million acres—62 percent of the nation’s total drip irrigation.

Community-based education and rebates to encourage water-thrifty landscapes can help. Las Vegas, for example, pays residents up to $1.50 for each square foot of grass they rip out, which has helped shrink the city’s turf area by 125 million square feet and lower its annual water use by 7 billion gallons.

The water crisis requires us to pay attention to how we value and use water. Across the country, it’s essential that communities work to take care of the ecosystems that supply and cleanse water, to live within their water means and to share water equitably.

Loving a Sustainable Life Heartfelt Perspective from Actress and Activist Daryl Hannah

by S. Alison Chabonais

Follow Natural Awakenings Tucson on Facebook

B

est known for her roles in such popular films as Splash, Blade Runner and Kill Bill, actress Daryl Hannah is now busy shedding light on environmental issues and working hard to help improve the way people treat our planet. “It’s just common sense to care about the environment,” she says. “I’ve always understood and valued the interdependence of all life, the idea that whatever we do to the web of life, we do to ourselves.”

Dwelling in a small community in the Rocky Mountains, Daryl attends to her ethical-lifestyle website and serves as a positive role model for living a simple, natural and healthy life.

How did you go about designing and building an ecologically sustainable home?

My home is a small, recycled barn that was about to be torn down to build a new post office. I salvaged the old barn and carefully had it relocated and bermed into the side of a hill, which faces southwest for optimal passive solar exposure. The sun passes high in the summer for shade and low across the sky in winter to warm the house.

The south wall of the house is like a greenhouse, where spring water flows through and provides humid24

ity in the dry, highaltitude air. We used stones gathered from the site for the fireplaces, bathroom and stairs. I’ve also used a number of mosscovered stones in a “living” couch. I grow food in a garden that is wildly productive when cared for.

“Off the grid” is a new term for some people. How do you define it?

Off the grid literally means that an individual creates their own power and has access to rain, well, spring or ground water. I believe in being as selfsufficient as possible. Both passive and active solar energy provides my power and I’m very lucky to have a productive spring for water.

What have been the most rewarding, as well as the most challenging, aspects of achieving your current Earth-friendly lifestyle?

More and more these days, I admire and crave simplification. While filming the video blog for my website, dhLoveLife.com, I have found it incredibly interesting to learn how many gifts traditional knowledge holds and to discover amazing new innovations.

The more I learn, the more I try to adapt to and adopt a simpler lifestyle.

Why do you choose to drive a biodiesel car?

I like opting out of the petroleum economy as much as possible, and I love that I can drive on non-toxic waste.

Biofuels can be an important part of the solution to the energy crisis we face, but even biofuels can be produced destructively. I co-founded the U.S. Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance to help people differentiate sustainable biodiesel from other, “bad news,” biofuels.

In addition, I now own the Trans-Am car featured in the Kill Bill movie series. The car has been converted to run on 100 percent alcohol fuel, which can also be made from waste.

Which other issues are important to you?

In these times of environmental and economic crises, there are many things that call for our attention: I’m very concerned that global population has grown from about 3 billion people when I was born to nearly 7 billion now; we are also witnessing mass extinction of species worldwide; there are more enslaved human beings today than at any other time in human history. It can be overwhelming, but I try to do what I can and when I can, whenever I’m moved.

Who typically visits your website, and how do others use it to make their lives better?

I started dhLoveLife.com when I decided it was time to try to live by my beliefs—it’s an ongoing process. The site curates information on truly sustainable solutions, based on my discovery that reliable information and resources for efficient and functional goods and services were not readily available.

There was a bit of trial and error in my own learning process, so I wanted to share what has worked for me. With today’s glut of green marketing, we may have lots of “green” options available, but now there’s a lot of

greenwashing and the whole arena can be challenging to understand.

People from all walks of life seem to be interested in commonsense solutions. So, whenever I learn something fascinating and helpful and catch myself saying, “Wow, I wish someone had told me that before,” I like to share it with others.

INDIVIDUAL INTEGRITY Embracing the Moral Imperative to Protect Earth

by Kathleen Dean Moore

Climate destabilization and environmental degradation are scientific, technological and economic issues, to be sure. But they are also fundamentally and primarily moral issues that call for a moral response.

W

hen we asked global moral leaders—“Do we have a responsibility to leave for the future a world as rich in possibility as our own?”—we received an outpouring of essays, articles, prayers and letters—all calling the world to action.

The resulting book, Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril, shares the compelling testimony of more than 80 visionaries—theologians and religious leaders, scientists, elected

officials, business leaders, naturalists, activists and writers—calling for a moral response to current climate change that is right, just and worthy of us as moral beings. The motives vary: for the sake of the children; for the survival of humankind; because justice demands it; because compassion asks it; because we are called to be stewards of God’s creation. Whatever world view, religion and values an individual brings to the question, there is reason to act.

Co-Authors Kathleen Dean Moore Michael P. Nelson Consider the American Revolution, the emancipation of slaves and the Civil Rights movement, each driven by deeply held and widely shared moral convictions. Today’s climate crisis creates such a historical moment. But only if we grasp the moral urgency of the decision now upon us can we individually and collectively meet the challenge.

We hear the arguments: I’m just one person; it may already be too late; the forces against us are strong; there’s really no hope of making a difference, so I won’t bother trying. But it’s a mistake to believe that we have only two options: to act in hope or to abdicate all moral agency in despair. Between the

two extremes, a huge middle ground exists—call it integrity—where we have the power to shape our lives to embody our most profound sense of what is right and worthy.

There is joy and liberation in waking up each morning affirming, “I have power over my decisions. I refuse to do what I know is wrong and will divest myself of the things I don’t believe in. By living with integrity and joining with others in communities of caring, I will create with my life a new definition of success and happiness.”

We can’t count on inventors, scientists or politicians to save us. What will save us are our singular human capabilities: to celebrate and to grieve; to love our children and the astonishing, beautiful Earth; to honor justice; and ultimately, to imagine how to live in a better way. We are called upon today to participate in the greatest global exercise of the moral imagination the world has ever seen.

Grand Master Abbaraxus Offers Solutions

L

ynda Abbaraxus, a Chou Shin Grand Master, has been practicing energetic medicine for 20 years, and offers a non-traditional approach to those wanting to improve the overall quality of their life.

Suffering from pain or an illness, has a definite negative impact on the ability to concentrate, work, exercise, sleep and enjoy life. From the perspective of a healer, illness or pain is the result of an imbalance of the body’s flow of energy within the meridians or energetic pathways. When this imbalance is more than physical in nature, the use of kinesiology can determine underlying mental, emotional and spiritual core beliefs at the subconscious level that are causing the imbalance.

Abbaraxus uses a variety of modalities to facilitate a client’s self-healing, such as Japanese massage, acupressure, EFT, ThetaHealing, electrical stimulation, Reiki, and Past Life Regression therapy.

Whether to relieve stress, recover from an injury, reduce pain, release energy blocks, change limiting core beliefs, explore past lives or be pampered, Abbaraxus will be honored to support you in your holistic health journey.

Your life will get better and better as a result. Handson workshops and personal life coaching are available.

For people who are struggling with life challenges such as divorce, loss or bankruptcy, the workshops will not only help you through the crisis, but also begin to create the future you want, beginning immediately.

Yvonne Shay and Lindsley Silagi are certified, experienced coaches who have both supported people in making positive life changes. Sometimes we believe that we aren’t good enough, can’t be loved or we just weren’t meant to be healthy, rich or happy. These beliefs then guide our behavior and we get results that are not what we want.

The workshops teach you how to let go of self-sabotaging beliefs and begin believing new, more positive thoughts.

Many participants report major life improvements following the workshop, as well as less pain, more joy and amazing demonstrations of prosperity.

Heal Your Life Workshops will be offered Oct. 29 and 30, at Embassy Suites, 5335 E. Broadway, in Tucson. For more information call 520-909-7607 or email ysshay@cox.net. See ad on page 19.

Baldwin Adds HeartMastery and Karuna Reiki

D

r. Ann Baldwin, Mind-Body-Science, is adding to the tools she offers clients to reduce their stress, increase their energy, improve focus and memory and decrease chronic pain. Over the last four years, she has provided HeartMath coaching, the basic tools to help you bring more joy and into your life and fulfill your life’s potential. Now, there is HeartMastery.

This is the next level of HeartMath, which will take you deeper into the process of accessing the wisdom of your own heart, so that you develop your intuition and discover your larger purpose and contribution. “I am using the new tools myself, and I’m delighted at how easy it is to free myself from worries and differentiate between the important things I must do, from my heart’s perspective, and those that can wait,” says Baldwin.

Baldwin has also taken her Reiki practice a step further by training in England this summer to become a certified Karuna Reiki master. Karuna Reiki, which can be taken by Usui Reiki masters, provides an intense healing energy that addresses complex psychological issues quickly and precisely, as well as treating physical problems. Baldwin is now incorporating Karuna Reiki in her Reiki sessions, so participants can reap the benefits. Practical Biofeedback and Reiki workshops are scheduled on October 8 and 26 at Mind-Body-Science.

Honest Relationships Daring to Tell the Truth

by Frances Lefkowitz

S

mall lies are a big part of our lives.

We tell them for convenience and comfort, to smooth things over for others as much as for ourselves. “It’s all right with me,” we say, when it’s not. “I’ll call you,” we insist, when we won’t. Perhaps in the most pervasive prevarication of all, we say we’re “fine,” when we aren’t.

“The most common lies are told to avoid conflict,” says psychotherapist and relationship coach Susan Campbell, Ph.D., author of such titles as Getting Real, Saying What’s Real and Truth in Dating. “People want harmony, but this compulsive quest gets in the way of true harmony.”

To admit the truth to oneself and then speak it can be difficult, even though the rewards far outweigh the risks. “The most important thing you can do for your personal growth is to be honest with yourself,” advises life coach and workshop leader Harriette Cole, author of Choosing Truth. Honesty, she explains, begins with the self and

emanates outward. Once we face our own true feelings and beliefs, we can start to act on them, bringing our behavior, relationships and professional lives into alignment. She’s found that, “Truth is essential for healthy living.”

Truth and Consequences

Living truthfully is an avenue to selfhealing, counsels Campbell. It’s a crucial tool to help people face old fears of rejection or abandonment and wounds they may have acquired in childhood. “Being honest helps you stop avoiding emotional pain, so you’re more able to be with what is,” she says. “Getting real is an inner practice for bringing you into the moment.”

The result can be a clearing away of psychological clutter, greater freedom from fears and more clarity that leads to a stronger sense of well-being.

James W. Pennebaker, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, in Austin, and author of Writing to Heal, is renowned for his

ongoing clinical studies on the mental and physical effects of expressing emotional experiences. He writes, “Psychologists have a strong sense that talking or even writing about emotions or personal upheavals can boost autonomic nervous system activity, immune function and physical health.”

Dale Larson, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Santa Clara University, in California, who developed a selfconcealment scale that has been widely used in the helping professions, further comments: “We have found that self-concealment is associated with more physical symptoms and higher levels of depression and anxiety.”

Apparently, both the body and the mind have to work extra hard to lie and keep secrets.

yourself. Truth is rarely objective; therefore, all we can really do is refer to our own perceptions of it.

In addition to its subjectivity, the truth can be messy, distasteful and even painful. “But when we take a risk and speak the truth,” Campbell maintains, “we often find out that we can handle it, and we become inwardly stronger.

Often the relationship benefits as well, because the air has been cleared.”

Practicing honesty in relationships not only deepens intimacy and authenticity, it also produces better results with less effort. “Stalling is inefficient,” notes Cole. “I don’t want

people coming back to me again; I’d rather tell them no at first, rather than hedge.”

“Playing nice is often a lie,” she elaborates. “Being nice is not nice.

Being kind is nice.”

Being real, rather than nice, can bring unexpected rewards, even with strangers. By answering truthfully, you might be surprised at the sparks of revelation and connection sometimes created in a moment of pure honesty.

Frances Lefkowitz’s book, To Have Not, was named one of five Best Memoirs of 2010 by SheKnows.com. Connect at FrancesLefkowitz.net.

Honest to Goodness

Telling the truth does wonders for relationships. When we hold our tongues to avoid a conflict—declaring to our partner that we don’t mind green wall paint, when we really want yellow—the feeling doesn’t just disappear. Rev. Mark D. Roberts, Ph.D., author of Dare to Be True, sees in his ministry that the cost of avoiding even superficial conflicts can be high. “You lose the ability to be yourself with your own family,” says Roberts, “and you sacrifice an authentic, growing, healthy relationship,” with a spouse or child or friend.

Yet, speaking your truth to others that have their own feelings and reactions requires tact, empathy, trust, good timing and a willingness to take chances. The cornerstone for practicing honesty in a safe and productive way is that you can only be honest about
