An Earth-Friendly Business

​

 Did you know with only 5% of the world’s population, the United States has the highest per capita consumption of energy in the world? The U.S. uses 30% of the planet’s total natural resources including 25% of the world’s fossil fuels and 20% of the world’s metals!

 

The Qigong Research & Practice Center believes that personal health cannot be separated from planetary health. We maintain the following earth-friendly practices:

​

  • We use recycled paper, packaging material, and other recycled products

  • We recycle and reuse our own materials whenever possible

  • We use only biodegradable cleansers

  • We support local businesses that support the environment

  • We recycle electronic hardware and batteries in a safe, eco-friendly manner, contributing neither to landfills nor the shipment of toxic substances to other countries

  • We are actively involved in local political and environmental decision making and have, through personal testimony, stopped polluters in their tracks

  • We donate money regularly to environmental and social justice groups
