Long Ago This Summer Vibrant Nation
Long Ago This Summer
Vibrant Nation Memories of Summer....
Excerpt from my poem - Discover Life's Treasures -
Treasures are the smell of…
Smoky campfires,
Roasting marshmallows,
Coffee brewing in an old enamel pot.
Memories are treasures to discover if you are
"Put on the Spot."
Wise for her years, my seven-year old says,
"It is a beautiful day."
The gray clouds fade away.
Sultry summer days, the sweet, sour taste of lemonade,
Clinking of ice in a glass.
Tickling your toes in the fresh mown grass.

Earth Goods Store, Concerts in Liberty Park in Aug.
March 2, 2011 – Gas is $3.29 from 3.25, 3.19, 3.16…
I have two destinations today – one is the Earth Goods Eco store on 1300 S. and 9th West, southeast corner of the street. Interesting neighborhood, orange and white slate-covered house across the street, next to a piercing salon called KOI and a business called Tempest….
I drive north on I-15 and exit at 9th, 13th, and 21st South; they divide into separate exits, turn onto 13th S. and pass the Ballpark on 3rd West that was called Franklin Covey in the late 80s and 90s when I worked for the day-planner company. Pass the Trax station where I catch my ride downtown. The price of gas is increasing, it is another good reason to take the Trax, $4.50 for an all day pass and $1.10 for one-way fare for Seniors to park and ride…
"Haven’t been in this area for a long time." Liberty Park, home of Tracy Aviary and the Chase Museum, I am scheduling a tour of the Chase Museum in August as an activity for my Red Hats, plus Music concert e.g. Polynesian music Aug. 1.... (Alternate option was Salmon Fry in Payson, Ut on Aug. 5.)
Arrive at the store, other people arriving and leaving; it must open at ten in time for the tour. I am eating hard-boiled eggs and crackers for breakfast, as I wait.
Several of us enter the store, and the owner, Tom Benedict introduces himself. I count 16 people in our Osher tour. He opened the store in 2007 in a building where the Young family ran a neighborhood grocery. An Eco-remodel using sustainable and energy saving products turned it into the area’s one of a kind Eco-store.
Tom explained there are seven levels of plastic recyclable products:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_recycling#march 2 - Eco store
Check the bottom of the containers and bottles for a little number inside the three-arrow recycling symbol
In our neighborhood, you can put One through Six in the recycle bins, but they only process one and two e.g. water bottles, the rest is sent to China for processing. If companies want a particular color of plastic that requires additional hand sorting..
There are 25 references listed on the chart for recycling; videos on You Tube give pointers on recycling e.g. rinsing the bottles.

- Some of the products sold are refillable products such as soap, shampoo – Gallon bottles of products line the top shelf, bring in your bottle and refill it; large jugs with condensed soap are waiting below them.
- Local products, Free trade, recyclable, reusable items..
- Gorgeous handbags made out of tire tubes, mittens out of knit sweaters, cloth diapers, recyclable garbage sacks made from corn starch…
- Gifts, garden supplies, books, coffee, tea, pet food…
- Bottle openers out of bike chains, sprout kits; I bought some lentils and wheat for my daughter to sprout.
