		<description><![CDATA[By the MOTHER EARTH NEWS editors August/September 2010 Live on Less! Our best tips for simple living and saving money. These days, many people are getting inspired by the ideas of simple living, self-reliance and being able to live on less. Not only are more people looking for ways to go green, but in these uncertain economic times, it just makes sense to try to stretch every dollar as far as possible. Here at MOTHER EARTH NEWS, we believe that saving money, protecting the environment and living a satisfying life all go together. It’s all about making the most of the resources you already have and finding joy and satisfaction in “doing it yourself.” Below you’ll find a collection of our best advice for simple living, including ideas for how to trim your budget and, in the process, enjoy better food, consume less, and be healthier and happier, too! SOURCE:  http://www.motherearthnews.com/homesteading-and-livestock/live-on-less.aspx A Thrifty, DIY Lifestyle First, let’s consider some general strategies for simpler living.

The documentary followed three teenage boys born into the trash trade in the world’s largest garbage village on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. It is the home to 60,000 Zaballeen (Arabic for &#8220;garbage people&#8221;). Far ahead of any modern &#8220;Green&#8221; initiatives, the Zaballeen survived by recycling 80% of the garbage they collect. When their community is suddenly faced with the globalization of its trade, each of the teenage boys was forced to make choices that will impact his future and the survival of his community. This year’s festival featured a dozen films, bring to 75 the number of green films shown over the last 5 years. Most of the films are donated to the Kern County Library for people to enjoy county-wide. The last week of the festival was jam-packed with popular events, like the GreenStock Music Fest at the Elk’s Lodge last Thursday and the combined [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Kern Valley High School (John Meyers, Principal) &#38; the generous support of the Arthur &#38; Sydney R. Barnes Foundation, we screened this film twice (1pm &#38; 6pm) to end this year&#8217;s Living Green KRV Festival. GARBAGE DREAMS (79 minutes, shown at 1pm &#38; 6pm) &#8220;Garbage Dreams&#8221; follows 3 teenage boys born into the trash trade and growing up in the world&#8217;s largest garbage village, on the outskirts of Cairo. It is the home to 60,000 Zaballeen, Arabic for &#8220;garbage people.&#8221; The Zaballeen are Coptic Christians in 94.7% Muslim Egypt. Far ahead of any modern &#8220;Green&#8221; initiatives, the Zaballeen survive by recycling 80% of the garbage they collect. When their community is suddenly faced with the globalization of its trade, each of the teenage boys is forced to make choices that will impact his future and the survival of his community. Filmed over 4 years, Garbage Dreams follows 3 teenage boys – Adham, a bright precocious 17-year-old; Osama, a charming impish 16-year-old; Nabil, a shy artistic 18-year-old – born into the trash trade and growing up in the world’s largest garbage village, a ghetto located on the outskirts of Cairo.
