What About the Radioactive Waste?
I appreciated the Power Play article (Feb., 2008). The reality of the “nuclear waste” problem would have been underscored with mention of the July 2007 radioactive waste leak at Hanford in Washington. I love your magazine!

Inspiring Changes
I’ve been appreciating Conscious Choice magazine ever since moving to Chicago from California in 2000. The forward-thinking efforts that go into each issue have inspired me to change a number of my personal choices in the direction of “green.” I also appreciated your efforts to promote global peace and awareness of peace activism in the city.

Agreeing with Pinchbeck
I have to say I have not been a big Daniel Pinchbeck fan (Prophet Motive column). Just about the only thing I was not crazy about in the Conscious Choice magazine redesign was the inclusion of the somewhat self-righteous, mushroom eating, neophilosopher, Mayan freak Pinchbeck as a regular contributor. I also realize all voices are worthy of hearing … just not as a daily diet, thank you very much.
However, after reading (and yes I do read it every month anyway) Pinchbeck’s contribution, Old Struggles on a New Earth in the March issue of your magazine, I have to ask Pinchbeck to make room for me on his soap box. I thought his analysis of Eckhart Tolle and the spangled light Oprah has cast upon Tolle’s latest book, New Earth, was right on the money, so to speak. Just a couple of Oprah’s grandstanding webcasts with Tolle were enough to make me want to cash in any hopes for our culture.
The very relevant point that Eastern thought has given Americans a way to continue to exploit corporate gain under the cloud of their own yogic mindfulness is brilliant. Our occupation is not “a vehicle for consciousness.” Enlightenment and conscious living come from the work we do with our families, in our communities, and with our peers and the global implications we bring to the table. If you spend an hour every morning doing yoga, meditate daily, shop eco-wisely for every consumable, and you are the CEO of a company that underpays its employees and does not offer adequate benefits, you are no different than one of the corporate misers of McDonalds.
Bravo Pinchbeck!
