For a long time GAIA has worked in conjunction with
CANTV. We have place an article on their website every week on a variety
of different topics all broadly orientated around the project "Our
Daily Plant" hence including articles on everything from plant
properties to recycling.
To find these articles go to the cantv website at http://www.cantv.net/ and on the option
bar on the left hand side, select the education service. Usually on a
Wednesday or Thursday on this page, you will find a link to an article
written by us. Why not save this page in your "favorites" file so you
can go straight to it every week?!
To give you some idea of what are articles are like,

______________________________
It was 3 years ago when GAIA led a 6 month series
of radio broadcasts. The series was entitled "Health is Harmony"
and was broadcast once a week on the station "Radio 1300 AM". Being in
our earlier days, this program was not solely orientated around the
project "Our Daily Plant" which was only in the making at that time -
instead the broadcasts covered number of different topics. These topics
included talks on:
- The use of
plants
- Alternative practices for
health (including ideas such as Biodance, Musical
therapy, Breathing
techniques etc)
- The interaction of Health and
Art (effects of different chemicals in art)
- Recounting tales by a series
of metaphors
- Talks on the history of
art
Although given before the full establishment of the
project "Our Daily Plant", if you look at the project page for Our
Daily Plant, then you will see that some of these talks fall under
the categories towards the end of our pie-chart. We regard these topics
as very important and something that we would like to incorporte into
our project work in poorer areas.
At present, however, we value the use of radio as a good
medium to transmit to a wide audience and as such, we hope to be able to
run talks on the series of workshops
that comprise "Our
Daily Plant". GAIA has many plans for the future, we very much hope
that radio will be incorporated in the heart of
them.
If you are interested in any of our broadcast topics
described above and would like to know more about them or receive copies
of the broadcasts, then please do not hesitate to contact us... Contact
