There are many changes that we can make in our homes in order to prevent global warming. In order to reduce the rate of damage that is occurring as a result of global warming, we must be willing to do our part. Many people go all out and change as much as they can in order to prevent global warming. Other people only make a change or two. It does not matter how much change you make, as long as you are trying. Everything helps a little. Of course, more is better. If you are not able to implement all of the tips that are listed in this article, that is ok. Just pass the information along and see what a difference that we can all make by working together.

1) The first thing that you can do to change your home in order to prevent global warming is to make sure that you are using light bulbs and appliances that are considered energy efficient. Using standard light bulbs and appliances that are not energy efficient will only lead to the issue of global warming getting worse. If you are unable to afford the expense of replacing all the light bulbs in your home at once, start with the ones that are used the most and then move on to the rest as you are able to afford it.

2) The next step to changing your home in order to assist in preventing global warming is to ensure that you do not run any unnecessary water. You should turn the water off as you are washing dishes, make sure that you only run a dishwasher and a washing machine when you have full loads, do not fill the tub all the way up when you are taking a bath, turn off the water as you are brushing your teeth, and keep your showers short and sweet. You may also want to limit the amount of water that you use in order to provide moisture to the grass, and fill up swimming pools and spas in the home.

3) If you run an air conditioner and/or heaters, you should try to use a thermostat whenever it is possible. This will help save a load of money on your heating and cooling costs. It will also help reduce the amount of harmful gases that enter in the atmosphere and result in the issue of global warming. Try to keep the thermostat around the upper 70 scale. It is also very important to ensure that the vent filters in your home are kept cleaned and changed on a regular basis.

4) You should try to reduce the amount of trash that is produced in your home. You can do this by learning to recycle products for use in the home, or recycle them in your community. You can also reduce trash by ensuring that you limit the purchases of items that contain a lot of unnecessary garbage that you will end up throwing away.

5) If it is possible, share a ride with another co-worker or with your spouse so that you don't produce car emissions or polution. Besides the benefits already mentioned, you will also save on the purchase of gasoline and will have company on your trip. On the weekends plan your schedule so you use only one car to do all of your errands. Again this saves gas and cuts down on the polution.

6) If you have the space, grow some of your own food. Fresh vegetables are better for you and if you grow them yourself, you will not have to buy them at the grocery store. You will also save on gas and time because they will be within walking distance. If you have a "bumper crop", you can always can or freeze them so you will have them during the colder months. You can also recycle the "waste products" (skins, tops, etc.) which you would usually throw away to make compost material.

These are just a few things you can do at home which will help lessen the ill effects on our environment. As mentioned above, start with 1 or 2 as you have the time or can afford them. Then continue to add more as time goes by. If we all do just a few of these things, then the cumulative effect will start tipping the scales of global warming toward the good end.

Structural Integration may not sound like a term that relates to the human body, possibly seeming like something on the minds of home builders or architects. But, Structural Integration is all about the human body and its evolution. Its about, but not limited to, health, wellness, balance, prevention and self-awareness. It educates people about the structure of their body and how that structure determines the function of their body. Structural Integration is a process of re-inhabiting and aligning ones being to maintain it in a manner that will minimize injury and promote mind-body integration.

What is it?
The Rolf Method of Structural Integration was developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf after she made the discovery that restricted tissue often results in opposing muscles not being able to function independently or harmoniously. Much like a person chained to a steel ball will have a hard time walking, restricted muscles have limited movement, and limited abilities. When this occurs, the muscles, as well as the connective tissues, and the organs, dont work correctly.

Dr. Rolf discovered that she could organize the fibers of these muscles through manipulation of the connective tissue matrix called fascia. This organization aids the body physically, freeing up the habitual holding patterns so the muscles can work in a harmonious relationship with each other supporting freedom of movement throughout the skeletal system. Often people hold their stress in their tissues, leaving them to tense up and cause an internal road block of their natural system. Freeing up the unnecessary tension in the connective tissue matrix allows the body to self-regulate and release an accumulation of chronic mental, emotional, and physical stress.

Why its needed?
Most people are structurally challenged: fighting to be upright in gravity. Is it difficult to stand on your own two feet without some sort of ache or pain telling you to sit down? When you sit down is it too much effort to sit up straight so you slouch? Does movement seem to take more effort than necessary, and are you feeling rigid and less resilient as you get older? Fighting with gravity supports poor alignment and will result in poor health. Structural Integration is a process that helps rid the body of this poor alignment by bringing it into balance in the gravitational field, ridding it of poor health in the process. It restores the structure to function, placing the ability to heal at its disposal.

When a person undergoes Structural Integration, gravity becomes their bodys advocate. It nurtures and supports the skeletal system, allowing organs to have the space they need to function properly. This results in the lungs, kidneys, heart, and every other organ working more efficiently, doing its part to sustain life. As a result of all this, a person feels more complete, more balanced, and healthier than they ever thought they could.

What are the benefits?
Structural Integration releases physical, mental and emotional stress and tension. This release unlocks the bodys ability to function at its optimal level. It releases energy that, previously used to harbor stress, finds more noble work in the form of fighting infection and injury. The process of Structural Integration brings the whole being at ease within itself and in relation to the environment in which it functions. It also facilitates empowerment, giving a person the experience that their body is integrated with their mind and together a powerful vehicle in the evolutionary movement of consciousness.

Structural Integration allows chronic worry and anxiety to subside. Most people are probably not even aware of the amount of worry and anxiety that they internalize. When Structural Integration is performed, pent up stress rises to the surface, escaping like steam from a pot of uncovered boiling water. Just like people are often surprised at the amount of steam that can result from a seemingly small pot of water, people are often amazed at how much stress and tension they actually hold, and can potentially release.

When combined with Osteopathic medicine, the benefits of Structural Integration are greatly enhanced. Like Structural Integration, Osteopathic medicine aims to free the body of its unnatural restrictions, producing a being in which wellness can prosper. Both Osteopathy and Structural Integration aim to help the body restore optimal function. Structure determines function so when a body finds its balance it can self regulate and prevent disease.
