WHAT'S
NEW
We have a new reason to celebrate at Yogi Times this month! On May 22,
2006, Yogi Times Editor in Chief, Sophie Parienti, and Publisher, Jean
Christophe Gabler became the proud parents of a new baby boy named
Enzo. Mother and son are both healthy and happy and we are all looking
forward to getting to know this newest member of the Yogi Times family.
As our thoughts at Yogi Times have surrounded the impending arrival of
little Enzo, it is natural that we should consider the world that he is
being born into and what we want that world to look like. This gave our
annual home and sustainability issue a special meaning as we sought to
fill it with information, guidance and inspiration for keeping our
planet, healthy, pure and beautiful. I think this is one of our
strongest issues yet and I’m confident you’ll find
plenty
of resources to make your home a place of beauty, tranquility and
sustainability. Thank you so much for supporting Yogi Times and please
keep your letters to the editor coming. It is so valuable for us to
hear what you like, what you don’t like and what you want to
see
in Yogi Times. You can send your letters to info@yogitimes.com.
 Namaste,
Martin
Hughes, Managing Editor

Simply
Green - Small Changes Make a Big Difference
By Sri Kesava
Going green has become a hot topic in pop culture and the media of
late, with a number of high profile architects and celebrities
showcasing the latest and greatest in high-end, sustainable homes and
lifestyles. While most of us would love to live in the green palaces we
see on television design shows and in magazines, a phenomenon, which
can be described as green elitism, has emerged that causes most of us
to feel that the expensive sustainable technologies and new advances in
building materials are simply out of reach, relegating us to lives
inhabiting outdated toxic boxes. Until sustainable technologies
infiltrate the mainstream and become less expensive, there are many
ways for people from all walks of life and income brackets to
incorporate sustainable practices into their daily lives while making
an incalculable impact on the health of the environment. Everyone,
including renters, single-family home owners and condo owners can make
simple changes in living habits that can have profound long-term
benefits both to individual health and to that of the planet without
giving up any of the comforts and luxuries we’ve become
accustomed to.

Houseplant
Prana - Clear the Air and Breathe Easy
By Kyle Roderick
According
to EPA estimates, indoor air can be five times more polluted than the
air outside. Considering that we spend an average of 90 percent of our
time inside, that’s a pranic bummer. But before you plunge
into
eco-anxiety, here’s some great green news: both your prana
and your air
supply can be purified with various and easyto- source plants that host
toxin-digesting, oxygen-producing microbes. While a NASA study has
found that twelve houseplants can help remove volatile organic
chemicals (VOCs) from indoor spaces, air-filtering
“biowalls” made of
diverse plants can also virtually eliminate indoor air pollution.
“Just
as our planet’s rainforests consume pollutants and exhale
oxygen to
support all life forms, certain indoor plants can act as living air
purifiers for your home,” says second generation florist John
Cosentino,
owner of Malibu Florist in Malibu.
