Local Man Organizes Free Concert “GreenFest” This Weekend in Danbury For Green Living

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” ~ Buddha 

For local environmental guru Steve Schappert, the above quote is a mantra of sorts for the many companies he heads up, The Good Word, The BIOS Organization and The Green Marketing Company, all dedicated to doing good and saving the planet. Schappert, a Brookfield native, began his mission of world peace and saving the planet over 2 decades ago and continues to work to “leave this world a better place.” He believes in speaking and thinking positive thoughts and words and doing good for each other and the environment. As if running the three aforementioned companies was not enough, Schappert recently embarked on a new journey of sorts that kicks off this weekend– GreenFest– a 3-day free concert on the Danbury Green at the bandshell.

“The goal of GreenFest and The BIOS World Peace Tour is to create a powerful change in the world capable of bonding all race, creed, color and religion. We will accomplish this by spreading the BIOS Philosophy of green, healthy, holistic, organic, sustainable and energy-efficient living and by teaching others to do well by doing good,” Schappert said.

GreenFest 2012 features 45  bands and 15 green vendors whose primary goal is to work to raise awareness on the benefits of green living. By using art, literature, music, dance and multimedia, Schappert hopes to raise money to complete funding of his Bios Water Car.

The BIOS Water Car is a 1972 Ford Mustang convertible that gets 58% better gas mileage using water for fuel. Throughout the 3-day benefit concert, Schappert will discuss his plans to drive 9,000 miles across North America, visiting 46 cities in 5 weeks. Schappert researched many available hydrogen systems and found what he considered to be the best in class, one unit that produces nearly 3 times as much hydrogen per minute as any other competitor.

The recent launch of The Good Word, a website dedicated to inspirational stories about good people doing good things, has helped get the word out about GreenFest and has been a great resource for local businesses to advertise affordably. The Good Word also has a print publication with a distribution of over 100,000, the largest of its kind, and strives to bring readers positive stories “that will put a smile on your face,” Schappert said.

The Good Word also promotes The Bios Philosophy, the study of green, healthy, holistic, organic, sustainable, energy-efficient living. Schappert said: “Teaching the world to do well by doing good and providing a common bond for all religions, race, creed and color. Together we can create a better life for all by understanding that we are all connected by mind, body spirit and earth.”

Green Fest begins this Friday, from 12:00 p.m. and runs through 10:30p.m. at the bandshell in Danbury on Ives Street. (Park at the Patriot Garage).

 We are searching for Motivated Representatives to help businesses save money,  become more sustainable,  more likeable,  and energy-efficient.

Would you hand somebody a newspaper that carries local advertising and carries good news about your immediate community?

We will allow you to focus your efforts in your immediate zip code areas area, (initially restricted for the good of the organization and your personal success).  As you work through your probationary employment period you will be responsible for the  zip code defining your home office zip code. Actively marketing outside your area means you are not focused on fully developing your specific territory, which will be frowned upon.

Success in your primary area will open doors to more responsibility and opportunity in the fist ring of zip codes around your home office, the second.  Engaging friends and family anywhere will be encouraged in our new associate referral retention plan.  It’s that simple. Spreadsheet based commission splits that will spell out profits in your territory and your split outside your territory.

We provide the sales team and online exposure. The sales team is able to provide cost-effective services, greater customer service and create one stop Business Development Centers with a green twist.

Your initial method of community contact will be spreading The Good Word, a single sheet newspaper, in your zip code areas.  You will pick up copies at your print center, then establish a schedule of business community networking and business development. More about this in your orientation.

Our goal is to help business lower expenses by 1)becoming more sustainable, 2)re-connected to their immediate base of potential customers,  3) discovering their second and third level and green connections, and 4)creating an expanded marketing budget from the savings that tells their market about the sustainable improvements that have saved them money.  This makes the business more likable, increasing customer loyalty and share holder earnings”, said Schappert.

We plan to work with 25 sales executives in CT.  New offices are being planned by  Sept  1, 2012 in Bridgeport, Hartford, Manchester, New London, Norwich, Middletown, Torrington, Farmington and Greenwich.  The website is available in 52 languages.

Inspire & Motivate People

You may or may not agree with Barack Obama’s policies, but no one can deny that the inspiration he sparked in people helped him win the race to the White House in a historic & decisive manner.People are emotional creatures. Not only is our decision-making influenced by what we feel, we get an energy boost from strong emotions.When you’re able to inspire and motivate people, particularly when they need it, you leave a mark. Want proof?Rod Weckworth used inspiration as his secret weapon while at Rex Moore. He sent out a weekly newsletter called Rod’s Ponders. It contained 7 inspirational quote of the days that all helped the reader feel good, inspired & got them thinking. His clients thanked him for it and asked him to continue. They also asked him to send it to a few friends of theirs. By the time he retired from Rex Moore in 1999, they were sending out 15,000 copies of Rod’s Ponders every week.Another example of providing inspiration & motivation are blogs that feature companies/people that are successful. For example, Mixergy.com is a website where Andrew Warner shares his interviews with people who have successfully built Internet businesses. In addition to educating people on how to build a good business, through his interviews, Andrew is exposing people to what success might look & feel like. When you see someone doing what you’re trying to do and you see that they did become successful, you have hope that you too might be successful.CALL TO ACTION:Decide if this tactic is right for you.If it is, list out how you plan to inspire & motivate people.I suggest looking into the services offered by Rod Weckworth’s new company, Ponders & Principles. They help companies use Rod’s secret sauce of inspiration through quotes. You can learn more about it at www.ponders.biz.Could you somehow put a spotlight on success stories that could inspire & motivate others?

Green Inequality

Green Inequality
Green Inequality Racism, ageism, classism– these are truths. They exist in all forms of our society. And if the last seven political years have taught us any one thing, it is we cannot look to government to correct societal wrongs. When we have a government that snatches up people off the streets because they have a mode of worship and dress unfamiliar to most in the US and a skin color a few shades darker; when we have a government that robs Peter to pay Paul, but only when Peter is old enough to qualify for social security, and Paul is a well-connected corporation; when oil prices hit $100/barrel and the government’s idea of alternative energy sources is to crank up the old coal mines: well, it is time we take matters into our own hands. These societal wrongs exist in an environmental context as well. If one were to map out where the primary Brownsfield sites in large metropolises are and then were to overlay first, where people of color lived, next, were the aged live, and finally where the impoverished live, I’m sure it would come as no surprise that people of color, older people, and poor people come in contact with more pollution than the average American. Our government will not correct this unfairness. The question remains, who will?The “green” construction industry has failed to address this issue of environmental racism/ageism/classism. How do we, as obviously concerned citizens, point our compasses toward not just a cleaner planet, but a fairer planet as well?Part of our mission as “green” builders is to develop means of limiting “green” construction costs. Further, developments designed for the elderly, for affordable and workforce housing, cannot simply be cheap. This is unfair thinking. This is wrong thinking. This is short sighted thinking. We cannot allow “green” construction to remain the pet boutique industry of the wealthy. This means that the wealthy will be the only beneficiaries of the newest environmentally friendly developments. More importantly, if this is the sole sphere in which “green” thrives, then “green” dies. Until “green” becomes the building mode of the masses, “green” has only minimal impact– except, of course, on the lucky few who can afford renewable energy sources and those builders who can build for clients without need of a budget. But will this narrow scope of change have any significant change on the environment? I doubt it. Simultaneously, “green” construction, particularly renewable energy sources shouldn’t be financially structured as too expensive. With public and private financing intervention, renewable energy sources could be viewed as just the opposite– it would be too expensive to not use renewable energy sources. How do we do this? Well, it is no more than torquing one’s perspective as both a consumer and a vendor. As a consumer, one must be forward thinking and understand that to not invest in sustainable energy sources is to incur significant financial burden for fossil fuel costs. As a vendor, to sell systems which imbue value into a project, be it single family home, a multi-family dwelling, or a commercial building, is a means of creating more value for your product, thus making that product easier to sell. Perhaps the perspective which needs most changing is that of the banking community and, dare I suggest it, the government– municipal, state, and federal. The banking community needs to jump on board and conclude that green construction is more valuable construction. If banks adopt this perspective, then value-added green components should then allow a consumer to borrow more money. After all, 80% of 120 thousand dollars is more than 80% of 100 thousand dollars. However, banks thus far have failed to adopt any form of value conversion, and this has slowed the development of green alternatives. As for our government, well, until we have someone in the White House who does not directly benefit financially from the burning of fossil fuels, we will not have a national plan for renewable energy sources, period.For a more academically formal investigation on this topic, please go to www.hinkleycenter.com/publications/poverty_pollution_siting_94-8.pdf.   -Miles Shapiro
