TMS16/03 The Need of a LOO (toilet)

January 3, 2016June 13, 2017Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Jasmine Burton aired January 19th-24th

Not everyone has a LOO

We take for granted in the Western world that everyone has a flushing toilet, but that is not true, a number of people in the world without a loo is huge and this can cause sickness. One team took this on and came up with a LOO (toilet) that can be used anywhere in the world giving sanitation and some dignity to those that need it.

Now with the refugees being scattered in camps, this product is in even more need.

Wish for WASH, LLC is a social impact organization that strives to bring innovation to sanitation through culturally specific design, research, and education. The SafiChoo toilet system, Wish for WASH’s first sanitation model tailored initially intended for a Kenyan refugee community, premiered in Fall 2013 as a Georgia Tech senior design project. Since then, our team has evolved into a talented group of young and diverse engineers, designers, business analysts, and development researchers – dedicating their skills to disrupt how the world is tackling sanitation relief products and services. The most current SafiChoo design is composed of separate, modular units, which enables the user to chose the elements of the system to best meet their specific needs. Our collective teamwork and my exposure through the Spring 2015 TedxAtlanta talk in addition to a number of other speaking events have brought Wish for WASH to the attention of numerous international aid and relief agencies interested in our mission and products.Our efforts are now turned toward completing a beta test in Spring 2016 in communities outside of Lusaka, Zambia, which will focus on user experience and overall feasibility of the product in partnership with our target users.

Jasmine Burton was born and raised in Dunwoody, Georgia. In 2014, her senior design team won the Georgia Tech InVenture Prize Competition, the largest undergraduate invention competition in the United States, for their design of an inexpensive mobile toilet, SafiChoo. Before graduating, from Georgia Tech’s Industrial Design Program, she participated in the Georgia Tech Women’s Leadership conference, the CDC’s Summer Public Health Scholars Program, Humanity in Action Fellowship and Industrial Design studio classes that emphasized ethnography and social impact work. She hopes to improve women’s health via redesigning water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure which is why she founded Wish for WASH, a social impact startup that seeks to bring innovation to sanitation. Over the next year, Jasmine is serving as Global Health Corps Fellow in Lusaka, Zambia working as a design specialist at the Society for Family Health. Jasmine identifies as a humanitarian design activist and, ultimately, seeks to use her creativity to make the world smile.

Animals are our friends, not our food, are you ready to change? it is not as hard are you think, even one vegan/vegetarian meal a week makes a global impact on our health and environment, let us stop the suffering of helpless animals that live in pain and fear to feed us and start investing in our own health and future by not needing to eat them.

TSM 15/25 The Voice of Our Children

June 15, 2015June 25, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Daniel and Ilana Bissonnette aired June 23rd.

Don’t be fooled by his cuteness cause this kid packs a serious punch when it comes to getting kids to ditch junk and go organic. You might have seen him last year at the veg-expo or Non-GMO Show, or been there for his epic world renowned performance at March Against Monsanto Vancouver…Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome 10-year-old Daniel Bissonnette.

Here are some of Daniel on YouTube:

“Here they are, the ones that will make the changes we so desperately need.”

GMOs are Genetically Modified Organisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Our bodies are not designed to digest these foods, and the chemicals they use in pesticides are causing our bodies to break down.

Studies in humans reveal that GMOs leave behind harmful material in our bodies linked to cancer in humans, and in animal studies, GMOs have been associated with organ damage, immune disorders, and accelerated aging early death.

Without GMO labeling laws, what can you do to protect yourself from hidden GMOs that continue to threaten your health and wellbeing?

We have a voice, and it starts here and now with young people like Daniel and his parents. We have the power to change things by buying local and organic, make your voice heard in the grocery store, buy organic and be aware of the foods you eat.

Teresa Lynne:

Teresa Lynne is a mother and grandmother with a passion for ensuring a healthy, sustainable food system for generations to come. She is a marketing and communications professional, campaign strategist, and a Certified Life Coach and Wellness Counselor.

After watching the film ‘Future of Food’ eight years ago, Teresa got curious and started researching genetically engineered foods (GE or GMOs). Soon she concluded that our food system is in danger – that GMOs and their associated pesticides were harming the environment and all of life.

Since then, she has been volunteering with GE Free BC, a grassroots non-profit society which supports non-GMO, sustainable agriculture. A few years later she started a GE free group in her community, the Tri-Cities. Teresa liaises with other groups and organizations across Canada on campaigns.

P14/11a A Pollinating Hummingbird Awakening

March 23, 2015August 15, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Originally Aired March 18th on Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Noelle Meade-Izzi

Noelle M. Meade-Izzi known as “The Pollinator Queen”— Shares Her Passion for Bees, Birds,
Butterflies and Bats as the Natural World Faces Disruption and Decline

….And She Delivers a Message of Spiritual Pollination

Her Charming New Photo-Illustrated Book Chronicles How a Hummingbird Healed Her from
a Terrible Malaise After a Crushing Financial Crisis

Noelle M. Meade-Izzi is “The Pollinator Queen.” Her utter delight and passion for bees, birds, butterflies and bats make her their leading advocate at a time when mysterious declining hive census, diminishing habitat and various other threats loom large on the horizon. And when our way of living is endangered because these pollinators are essential to our food chain, we face a global natural crisis.

But for Noelle, the crisis is more than a natural one—it’s spiritual. Because she maintains it is nature that uplifts us by embracing us with its beauty and bounty. It’s a way for the Universe to reassure us when we find ourselves overwhelmed; it reminds us of goodness and our connection to all things.

CLICK ON BOOK TO BUY

This she knows firsthand. In her new book, The Hummingbird That Answered My Heart’s Calling, Noelle recounts her own touching story of her three-month sojourn with a mother hummingbird, Artemis, and one tiny nestling–and how that encounter brought her back from the brink of despair after being caught in the financial downturn and market crash of 2008.

A single woman, just having purchased her own home, starting a boutique design and photography business, Noelle found herself awash in fear and anxiety, facing the option of taking recommended anti-anxiety drugs and praying for another path.

But it was little Artemis that answered her prayers for relief. Nesting on Noelle’s balcony, preparing to give birth, Artemis provided the uplifting and inspiring encounter that began Noelle’s journey of discovery and healing. Together they welcomed “Baby” into the world, and The Hummingbird That Answered My Heart’s Calling chronicles that beautiful adventure with 40 stunning full-color photographs. The book is a paean to the delicacy and loveliness of nature’s creatures, the goodness that pervades the natural world; the peace, balance and harmony that we find in nature by giving it our undivided attention and true devotion; and the conduit to our own spiritual nature that we can experience through this intimate connection. It calls to hummingbird lovers, photography lovers, nature lovers, spiritual seekers, children and anyone needing a bit of inspiration.

But Noelle’s personal story is only a part of her mission. She sees herself as a special advocate for the pollinators, offering advice on how to build a hummingbird-friendly backyard habitat, ways to “give back” to the bee nation, methods for protecting and supporting what she calls the POWER POLLINATORS—bees, birds, butterflies and bats.

“They are the consummate givers in our Earthly life,“ she says. “We must acknowledge, educate, re-educate, honour and protect these benevolent beings. BALANCE, PERSEVERANCE and GENEROSITY, once deemed exclusive character traits of humans–are palpable in nature. “

With the most pressing need being the preservation of the bee population which has been decimated by a mysterious die-off not fully identified by scientists, Noelle’s goal is to help people see bees for the valued partners they are: harmonious, integrated, unified creatures working tirelessly for the greater good. She unceasingly works to educate as many adults and children as possible, using her company, Beenevolent® as a tool for funding more research; to serve and give back.
