Dave and Lillian Brumet - TRASH TALK -writers, poets,environmentalists

People are constantly bombarded with negative information about the environment and our resources. Feeling powerless because we cannot afford to donate cash or time to a cause, we begin to feel overwhelmed by the immense environmental problems our world faces. We focus on changing people's mindset to a more open, hopeful and proactive one. Not by finger-pointing at corporations and governments, but by starting in our own homes, at our own desks. Trash Talk began as a series of articles that focused on ways the average person can make small changes to do their part for the Earth. We compiled all the articles and other information that we could not fit in the limited space of the first 5 years of our bi-weekly column into this book. Trash Talk embarks on frugal and conscious living techniques for the individual. We focus on the reuse of 'waste' materials and reducing consumption of resources. Trash Talk is written to empower people to feel more positive about their worth as individuals in a hectic, expensive, environmentally stressed world. We show how to make a real and visible difference, while saving money at the same time. Publisher: Publish America Released: July 21, 2004. I can discuss poetry, read some excerpts, talk about how poetry helped me overcome a traumatic youth and help others by releasing it to the public. I can discuss the fear that I went through after releasing the book, the self-conscious way I had to learn to overcome and present the poetry on live radio and so on. I can talk about what being a host of a radio show  has done for me, and others; the behind the scenes management of radio programs, how one gets guests, promotes the show, deals with contingency shows and technical issues and so on.
