Listen For Peace! Julian Treasure gives ideas on improving conscious listening!

Emphasize listening in your daily life and things could change - fast! Becoming conscious listeners takes the intention to understand more about everything. And is it difficult? NO! Is listening a chore? NO! Will understanding the physical world around us better make our lives richer? YES! There are so many amazing sounds to enjoy - music, nature, and pure silence. The speaker, Julian Treasure, gives us the suggestion to remember to reset our auditory system every day with a few minutes of silence, or at least a bit of quiet-time. Meditate. Hear a pretty birdsong? Well, thank that tweetin' bird! It is no secret that paying attention to something wonderful will always lead to more wonderful things abounding!

Building a park in the sky over New York - Done and Getting Better!

This video shares a brief story about New York converting relic city infrastructure into a park filled with open space, wild flowers and trees! Now that sounds like a giant step toward sustainability! And I like that, and I know the pollinators and plants love it too!
