Dear Friend,

Can you picture yourself one day stepping outside your lovely home in a quiet, suburban setting nestled among green parks, only to see a huge pile of trash in the latest landfill across the street! And, no matter what part of the city you visit, you see mounds and mounds of the same?

Well, this is a bit exaggerated, but I am sure you get my point! The amount of trash going to our landfills is growing every day, even though recycling plants are springing up to alieviate the problem. Now, there is something else that YOU can do to save your green surroundings. Instead of sending your own newspapers to the recycling plants, how about recycling the newspaper into beautiful artifacts of recycled paper crafts?

For the past ten years, I have been developing the recycled paper crafts process and even my 7 year old neice was able to duplicate the craft idea.

Right now I am offering to give you the Goof-Proof step-by-step plans you need to virtually guarantee you can make it happen. Just read along with me and you will see what I mean.

“Go ahead, catch your breath, relax and have your credit card handy!
You will need to act quickly".

Let me give you a little background, first. Did you know that according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the 2003 statistics show that 4.5 pounds of municipal solid waste per person per day was generated by US residents, businesses and institutions ? A total of 236 Million Tons, before recycling, was generated in the US. Recycling, however, was able to divert 72 Million Tons of material away from landfills and incinerators in 2003, a figure that is up from 34 Million Tons in 1990. The largest contributor to the waste problem is PAPER, at a whopping 35%, while yard trimmings are next at 12.1% and food scraps in third place at 11.78%, according to the EPA report.

World-wide you will find recycling is an important topic. Just check how many times the word, RECYCLING, is used as a search word in online internet search engines. According to numbers from Overture in the month of June 2005, 81,642 searches were made across a number of search engines. To put that in perspective, 81,682 searches were made for the word, MEDITATION, 95,746 searches for the word, PRAYER, and 56,043 searches for the word, ETIQUETTE. These pale when compared with 2,265,411 searches for LYRICS and 1,511,352 searches for MP3, but they are significant enough to catch the attention of this Netizen.

Do you remember back in the 1960's when the phrase, "Give us control of your music, and we will also have control of your children!" was used and we all laughed. Not many of us could have even imagined the emergence of the various music gendre of today! Today people are "seeking the word", but the word they are seeking is the word of "the song lyrics", not "The Word" as found in the Bible. That is clearly evident by the more than 2.2 M searches in a single month on the internet. The truly saving grace in this situation is there are songs out there whose lyrics are based on the Gospel message. Song lyrics, because the are sung over and over again, become submerged in the subconscious mind and provide much of the direction for one's moral compass. If the lyrics are good and wholesome, they will produce good and wholesome behaviors. If they are violent and abhorrent, they tend to produce violent and abhorrent behaviors. The music of the Gospel can even lead us to prayer in its most basic form, as an outpouring of one's spirit to the Creator. Prayer is a very personal act and one, I believe, that is absolutely essential to living a balanced life in today's whirlwind of activity. Without prayer, we lose perspective on our own significance in this world and inevitably will make poor decsions.

You can see now that I have a bias towards prayer as well as towards recycling. And living in a busy world, how can I possibly do more things than I already am?

It’s one of those “good news, bad news” stories:

First, the good news…
We all have the same 24 hours a day as everyone else on this planet! There is no special premium offer or bonus pack of time that you can receive for good works or good looks or extra cash. It's all the same, just 24 hours. The body physically requires about one-third of that time to rejuvenate and rebuild itself during sleep. So, you are left with two-thirds to do your work, your play, your planning, your recycling and your prayer.

So, if anyone can do it, YOU can do it.
But here is the bad news…
Everyone and everything is screaming for your time and energy. There are more things to do than ever before in that tiny two-thirds of your day. But I will show you how to enhance the family table, reduce your recycle trash, combine prayer in the process and have more quality time for the things that count. It's like having your cake and eating it, too!
