Honored to be interviewed by Gerald Iversen for his Simple Living Podcast.
Gerald has also published the series of Lenten speeches about time and overwork I gave at an Episcopal church on Mercer Island, Washington a few years ago--they are mostly still relevant and relate as well to Affluenza.

Congratulations! I don't attend Church here. Jerry is better. Churches are a great place to meditate and to do good work for the community.

Hello Simple Living Works! podcast,
I'm the social media coordinator for the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee. We are a network of individuals and groups who engage in acts of conscience and civil disobedience by refusing to pay some or all of the taxes that fund war. This year we are engaging in Days of War Tax Action centered around the theme, 'Divest from the Pentagon, Invest in People.' We're encouraging people to consider engaging in their own acts of personal divestment through war tax resistance, and reinvesting resisted taxes in communities and organizations doing good in the world. Personal and collective war tax divestment can accompany and amplify calls for divestment and opposition to injustice in other areas, like fossil fuels, nuclear power, prisons, and Israeli occupation.
My co-worker, Ruth, came across your podcast when looking for the source of this simple living list. We seem to have some peace/anti-war-tax friends in common, like Shane Claiborne (who we've also had on our podcast) and folks from the Catholic Worker movement. We have many simple living resisters in our network too (and even a whole pamphlet on simple living as a war tax resister). If you would be interested in talking war tax resistance on your podcast, let me know and I can connect you with someone.
Best,
Erica Weiland

Greetings Gerald --
Another amazing collection. Thank you.
Even better, for people's referring your findings to others when nos. replace bullets, especially for the 30 or so entries under 'What Others Are Doing...' That way I can easily say, 'Hey Friend, take a look at #27 -- thought of you when I read this piece of Gerald's collection.'
You get the idea. Trust this idea makes sense and is worth implementing.

Gerald,
I've been getting your updates for years now. Thank you! I wanted to bring to your attention a bible study workbook I recently developed called 'Organize His Way: A Christ-Centered Approach to Organizing Your Life.' You can learn all about me and the bible study at EileenKoffMinistries.com.

Herbert 'Warren' Alderson
What I read so far, I enjoyed much more than some of your podcasts. There are some really good nudges and admonitions that help us keep on track.
I did the junk mail thing but never got them to stop so I use the junk mail to put in raised beds at the bottom then I don't have to fill with so much dirt to get started growing. I put some cardboard in too. Of course whatever you grow doesn't take packaging and that is a good thing. Thanks, I'll subscribe if that is an example. That's going to take some work to come up with new nudges every day.

2. The troops receive cookies
3. I don't have tempting calories around MY house

Have you provided a list of mutual funds that will not invest in the fossil fuel industry? While I'm still employed, Doug and I can buy a Roth IRA each year of $6500. I don't do well buying individual stocks, but it's so hard to be sure that a mutual fund does not invest in fossil fuels, pipelines, etc.

This seems too much for a 'nudge'! And seems written to clergy.

> (Continued from yesterday) Amateurs and professionals are on a continuum too. The difference is not between 'good' and 'bad' art and entertainment but between passivity and involvement.

'The system' is designed primarily to keep us passive, to let professionals do the work while we pay them outrageous salaries. Non-conform freely. Reduce passive entertainment; increase active arts.

I disagree! The benefits of being part of the so-called 'passive audience' can be vital to mental health, participation, recreation, socialization, release of self-centerness, appreciation of others' gifts, etc. etc. besides just fun. It's lovely to enjoy the arts or sports, as long as one is not obsessed to the point of ignoring or hurting others. Please don't demonize good things!

Is there any difference between watching a concert by the Three Tenors or a game at the Three Rivers stadium? Professional sports, movies and the fine arts may be on different spots on the entertainment continuum, but they're on the same line, as long as there's a passive audience. A Beethoven symphony is engaging to some. So is a hard fought hockey game. And they may represent the same thing... struggle between good and evil. Let's support the Arts by DOING the ARTS ... drawing, writing, dancing, reading aloud. If we feel incompetent, let's take a class. (Continued tomorrow)

Re: Ugly Food Project Part 2—Clean Water Is a Human Right
Rick Whiteley
Some are concerned about too much regulation by the EPA. I don't see it that way. The EPA is necessary to keep our water clean and protect the environment as a whole. It is designed to keep National Parks and nature preserves free from contamination. The EPA was created by President Nixon approx. 45 years ago. It has been quite helpful with a goal of making us healthier and protecting precious natural resources, like water. Now, it is involved in reducing our carbon imprint, making the burning of fossil fuel energy cleaner and encouraging the spread of renewable energy alternatives, such as solar and wind. This is a subject about which I'm very passionate !
Gerald, in light of your astute remark, 'The system' is designed primarily to keep us passive, to let professionals do the work while we pay them outrageous salaries, I thought I would pass on a piece I wrote recently. JZ

I encourage you to review your beliefs. Fruit juice has fructose which research shows leads to metabolic syndrome: small amounts of low carb whole fruit have much better effects . Organic coffee in moderation has been shown to have healthy effects. Perhaps you might review bullet proof coffee? I mostly agree with your emails but think you are way off track on this! Lois
Hey, I sell Fair Trade coffee at our church. It helps the small farmers of Latin America make a decent living.
Sent: Sunday, October 2, 2016 10:25 AM
Oct. 2, Sun. Learn about the power of 'cheap food.' Resist using foods that deprive other countries of food and have little or no nutritional value, such as coffee. Caffeine is an addictive drug. Other beverages, like fruit juice, can be just as socially inviting.
to Rita
So glad to hear from you, Rita. I have sold Fair Trade coffee and chocolate at our church as well. The point I would have made if I had gone into detail is that growing coffee for export distracts many local farmers from providing food for their family and community.
I plan to use your comment in an upcoming podcast.

First Day of Fall/Autumn
Although Labor Day may mark the end of summer social activities, autumn officially begins when the autumnal equinox occurs. On this day, like the vernal equinox which marks the beginning of spring, the sun appears directly above the equator.
Learn about the changing seasons. Teach children - with a walk in a park, in the back yard, or out in the country - about what happens in nature. In areas with distinct seasons, autumn is the time when nature prepares for winter: flowers die, trees lose their leaves, animals develop warmer coats.

Good morning Jerry, we have been straw bale gardening for several years, it is an excellent process especially if your native soil is poor or your space is limited. The seeds or seedlings are planted directly into the straw which naturally decomposes and provides nutrients. The bales also keep the roots warmer, damper and limit the growth of invading plants. Of course a shot of worms and/or compose is beneficial as well. You just have to prepare the bale(s) by watering them occasionally several months prior to planting in order to give the straw a head start breaking down. Peace, Ty

Hello,
I've been teaching the 'Unplug the Christmas Machine' Workshop for several years. I'm in the process of modifying the workshop to teach to those living in difficult circumstances -- women's domestic violence shelters, homeless, low income. I've given prominent credit to Jo Robinson and Jean Staeheli in each workshop I teach, and I'll do the same in this modified workshop that I'm preparing. But I wanted to contact them to let them know that I am doing this. Also, I'm happy to share what I've created, if there is interest in it.
Thank you in advance for any assistance -- and Merry Christmas!

Dear Kristine,
What a nice letter you've written about your work with the Unplug workshop. Jo and I can't imagine a more satisfying use for the material. We presented the workshop once to women of color in East St. Louis. I think it's the workshop we learned the most from!
You have our enthusiastic blessing to use the material in any way you choose. It feels really good to know that people are still benefiting from it. Keep up the good work!

We have much better symbols of Christmas and giving than Santa, who has been completely taken over by commercial interests to sell us more stuff. We have Jesus giving himself to us and the Three Wise Ones giving gifts to Jesus. We have St. Nicholas, who gave gifts to the needy. Let's not confuse our children with stories about Santa. Let's tell the real stories of our faith.
