Glass Recycling!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!! For our true love, the Earth, Consciously Rebuilding collected used glass for our pilot/unoffical collabo arts program with "I"ccessorize. We are super excited to offer the only Glass Recycling for the City of New Orleans. The response was great and will prove to the world that many resources can be reused and recycled into functional goods.

The next drive will be at the Sankofa Marketplace (St. Claude and Caffin) on March 14 from 10-3. Bring used and cleaned glass.

Glass Recycling is HERE!!!!

*Note: This is not an official program for Consciously Rebuilding as it is in its pilot stage and will not become official until it is approved.

January Health Fair Results

A total 56 people signed up to make healthy lifestyle changes....

Central City Health Coalition Health Fair Jan. 23 12-4pm

On January 23, 2009, Consciously Rebuilding tabled at the Central City Health Coalition Health Fair. It was so nice to have a table and leave the stress of organizing on someone else :) Natalie did a wonderful job.

I must say that although this is not a challenge or competition, Consciously Rebuilding totally killed it. We were one of the most popular tables (following the free flu shots) and we got completely wiped out of stuff. I returned home with 1 water bottle. I will have the results in a later post, but over 50 people visited the table and commited to an initial action to be healthy. This goes to show you that freebies + friendliness = interested bodies. Once I reeled them in, they received a quick intro of Consciously Rebuilding and the importance of green and healthy living. I told everyone that all of our goodies are "free"....however I asked that they review the tipsheet on energy, water, air quality, and fitness and write down a commitment to a healthier lifestyle. Fitness was extremely popylar, followed by nutrition. After each person signed-up, I thanked them for their efforts and they were all caught offguard, or surprised, but genuinely appreciative to return the thanks. Sometimes a simple, "Thank you" makes a huge difference in motivating someone.

Here are the pics and our next event is at Earth Fest at the Audubon Zoo on March 21-22, 2009.

Yes we can!!!!!

I just wanted to post a pic of me in DC on the inauguration. This trip was surreal and will always have a place in my heart. I am so excited about the future and what Consciously Rebuilding will achieve in 2009. It's time.
