Another great learning organization, the Institute sponsors education, seminars, research, and publications. There are local groups where you can gather and study with others who enjoy exploring the frontiers of science.
American Council on Exercise - www.acefitness.org
The American Council on Exercise offers free newsletters, great articles on health and fitness, and resources for the general public, the health enthusiast or professional.
Center for Science in the Public Interest -- www.cspinet.org
CSPI is a non-profit educational and advocacy organization focused on improving the safety and nutritional quality of our food supply, and to promote health. They are most famous for "blowing the whistle" on major food chains. Food marketing and packaging can be very misleading, and CSPI provides some objective clarity and good advice to help you navigate your way through the grocery aisles. I subscribe to the organization and usually find some helpful tips in their publication, Nutrition Action Newsletter.
The Enso Center for International Arts and Peace - www.enso-center.org
Enso is an ancient, international symbol of inner
strength, harmony, community, and peace. It symbolizes a commitment to personal
growth through body and mind balance, discipline, and practice. Enso comes from
the Japanese language and literally means
an "open" circle.
Their mission
is to promote awareness, understanding, and harmony
internally, interpersonally, culturally, ecologically, and ideologically. Enso
Center encourages the growth of strong sustainable communities through the study
of martial arts, nature, languages, literacy, communication, and fine arts.
The Interra Project - www.Interraproject.org.
In this country, we vote with our dollars. How would life be different if we could wield that power for social good? This is the challenge and the goal of The Interra Project -- a non-profit company with a new Visa card that gives back to the community. This is still a pilot program -- check them out and find out how you can get involved at www.Interraproject.org.
