ECO 17-21 Plant Food Recipes with Toni Okamoto.

May 20, 2017January 18, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Toni Okamoto, on air from May 23rd

There are a lot of reasons to eat more plants and a lot of misconceptions about what that means. What we’re trying to do at Plant Based on a Budget is to show how affordable, easy, and delicious eating a plant-based diet can be, how you don’t have to shop at specialty grocery stores or restock your pantry with all kinds of unfamiliar products and substitutes, and, most of all, how you don’t have to sacrifice time, taste, or money in the pursuit of healthier, tastier eating.Though all of our recipes are plant-based, we’re not advocating a political agenda, and we’re not making a list of Things You Shouldn’t Eat. We’re just a bunch of people who love food and cooking and want to share some of the recipes and tips we’ve learned along the way.More than anything, we think that everyone should be able to cook delicious, healthy food without spending a fortune. That’s the goal of our site: plant based, on a budget.

ECO 17-19 Vegan Eco Spirituality

May 3, 2017January 18, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Christina Hill, on air from May 9th

WHAT DOES BEING VEGAN MEAN FOR OUR ECOSYSTEM?

It has long been understood by indigenous peoples that our relationship to Mother Earth is spiritually as well as physically sustaining. For indigenous peoples, this is often included in their way of life, and expressed through their daily rituals, even in the way they eat.

In Western culture, we may sense this spiritual nourishment once we depart from the material world and spend some time in the natural world just outside our door… we can feel Mother Earth’s beauty, peace, and we can find refuge in her no matter if it’s at the base of a waterfall or by following the flutter of a butterfly as it passes by. This spiritual nourishment is a quality of life rarely valued by our solely economic images of progress. And yet we are sustained and supported in ways we cannot easily measure with exacting science. In the words of Satish Kumar: “The contemporary environmental movement, in the main, follows the path of empirical science, rational thinking, data collection and external action. This is good as far as it goes but it doesn’t go far enough. We need to include care of the soul as a part of the care of the planet.”

The vegan lifestyle is one such way of both caring for our soul and our blessed Mother Earth, and its’ health benefits are far reaching. Simply put, when you are consuming only high vibrational foods (plant foods that have felt the sun’s rays and have come from Mother Earth with little to no processing in between harvesting and entering your body) then you yourself are sustaining the planet’s vibration as well as your own. All life on Earth comes from the sun. When the sun touches a plant on Earth, it creates a specific vibration. That vibration is what we then eat. The human body consumes this energy (the food is just the physical form which houses that energy). Food related to death or killing is in a lower vibration. Humans don’t need to eat these foods, we need to go back to where we were, in harmony with Earth and where the energy we consumed was not coming from dead animals. By eliminating the consumption of meats/dairy/fish/eggs (or any animal by-product) you are coming back to your own natural human form. Your human form constitution is energy and water, first and foremost. Think about all the plants that offer you their light energy and water! When you choose to consume only those types of foods, you become more like your Mother Earth. Other humans will sense this and they too will want to do the same. As we continue to transform, Mother Earth will heal and replenish herself, providing ample bounty for all human life to eat in a vegan way!

ECO 17-18 Combat Climate Change using Bath Tissue with WHOLEROLL

April 26, 2017May 1, 2020Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 2 Comments

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Letrece Harris, on air May 2nd

WHOLEROLL Saving money, saving time, saving the environment

San Francisco, CA April 10, 2017 – WHOLEROLL Inc., an e-commerce subscription tech startup with a global mission to help end deforestation and combat climate change with their sustainable bathroom tissue, is offering a timely solution for the consumer. For those needing to restock their bathrooms with a sustainable brand of bathroom tissue, or wanting to plant a tree for Arbor Day or Earth Day to decrease their carbon footprint: WHOLEROLL is their product.

“The average consumer has no idea that 98% of the bathroom tissue on retail shelves is made from the virgin pulp of full grown trees that manufacturers chop down. You have to ask does it really make sense to destroy forests to make disposable products? Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and trees are the number one sequestration of carbon out of the air, so why would we cut them down.” says WHOLEROLL founder Letrece Harris.

WHOLEROLL is launching a global Indiegogo campaign on April 11 hoping potential backers will see the impact that can be made globally if more people would transition to a more sustainable bathroom tissue roll. Anyone can be a part of the campaign to support the project.

Each roll is made with 100% high-quality fibre pre and post-consumer paper and whitened with non-bleach materials. Each WHOLEROLL box will include a unique reusable bag to help offset the use of plastic bags, and a tree will be planted for each box purchased, through their One Box One Tree commitment that’s fulfilled through their partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation.

ECO 17-16 A New Way of Living with Rennie Davies

April 12, 2017May 2, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Rennie Davis, on air from April 18th

A New Way of Living

Our civilization is global and growing but our oceans are dying.Ecosystemm collapse is accelerating. Some scientists claim we passed the point of no return on climate change some time ago. Others believe we still have time. What we know for sure is that our global economic model based on endless growth and consumption has made real solutions to an unsustainable civilization seem distant and remote. The Colorado Sustainable Showcase is a new option to an unsustainable world–a new-living system that can support any farm, community, government or nation seeking solutions to the long historical disconnect between people and nature. A unique breakthrough technology is integral to our design. With the turn of the last century, five breakthrough technologies—structural steel, the Otis elevator, line electricity, the telephone and the light bulb— redefined the modern world. We define a breakthrough technology as a discovery that changes the daily life and basic understanding of most people in the world should it reach mainstream commercial markets. Our mission is to bring technologies new to the world out of obscurity and into an evolution of living. The Colorado Showcase is guided by a multi-disciplinary team of experienced professionals who share a common objective. Any big idea must be practical. A new way of living has to work in regions struggling to cope. A new economic model must stand up to scientific scrutiny. Since a virtually free, zero-emission portable power system has eluded every previous generation, can we achieve what others could not? Can a new world option to modern agriculture.

The Colorado Showcase is guided by a multi-disciplinary team of experienced professionals who share a common objective. Any big idea must be practical. A new way of living has to work in regions struggling to cope. A new economic model must stand up to scientific scrutiny. Since a virtually free, zero-emission portable power system has eluded every previous generation, can we achieve what others could not? Can a new world option to modern agriculture’s ploughing, chemicals and single-crop planting be based on the intelligence of nature and still feed the population. Can any town, village or community live and thrive without employing a single unsustainable practice? To answer these questions, every system and technology introduced into our new living design will be evaluated by rigorous standards and principles. Following your review of this presentation, we will welcome your suggestions and support. –Rennie Davis and Kirsten Liegmann Our vision is a new way of living that can support any farm, community, government or nation seeking solutions to the long historical disconnect between people and nature. 3 Colorado Sustainable Showcase A unique property in the Boulder Longmont region of Colorado is available. The location is a stunning natural wonder consisting of four adjoining parcels totalling 163 acres. Facing the Rocky Mountains to the West, the property is located in a highly desired area. Demonstrating a new way of living rooted in the intelligence of nature, our vision is to showcase and deliver a practical option to any region struggling to cope and yearning to live and thrive sustainably. The Colorado Showcase is a new option to an unsustainable world.

ECO 17-07 Tiny House Living with Samantha Gambling

February 2, 2017June 10, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Samantha Gambling, on air from February 14th

What is a tiny house?

Tiny houses can be incorporated into future and existing neighborhoods to address cities’ needs for housing supply, gentle densification, infilling in place of green fielding and the populating of neighborhoods to support existing services and community amenities. As part of a pocket village or as a single unit, tiny homes champion liveability in a new holistic way, with the aim to cultivate environmental, community and personal health.

There is no formal definition of a tiny house; according to The Tiny Life, “tiny houses come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, but they all enable simpler living in a smaller, more efficient space.” The BC Tiny House Collective’s defines a tiny house as:

less than 500 square feet
fully functional single housing unit that includes all of the basic amenities of a permanent home
detached or semi-attached (as part of a housing complex)
mobile (on wheels or a temporary foundation)
customizable, tailored to individual taste and budget
designed and built on the principles of affordability, community (social wellness and inclusion) and ecological sustainability (for instance, through the use of renewables, deconstructed materials, and passive building methods)

This working definition allows the tiny house to be seen as a unique housing stock, and differentiate it from other small dwellings, such as laneway homes, RVs and mobile homes, modular units and micro suites.

Samantha Gambling, co-founder of the BC Tiny House Collective, is currently having a tiny house built. Her house is ten feet wide, 22 long, on wheels and 320 square feet. We have secured a plot of land to showcase it north of Mount Pleasant, and are engaging with City of Vancouver staff to get the demonstration project underway. It’s our opportunity to measure neighbor response, build awareness on tiny and highlight and test new technology and sustainability practices related to waste management, water, deconstructed building materials and renewable energy systems.
