Assuming that they just used breathing meditation (the most popular form of meditation), then I wouldn't be surprised. It's just one form of meditation to bring calmness to a busy mind.
Other religions like Buddhism, also have analytical meditation which they use to minimize/eliminate the ego to obtain nirvana/enlightenment.
Has the author seen Toronto's eastern waterfront? It's the ugliest part of the city. A friend of mine said that much of the soil there is polluted and a ton of money will be needed just to clean it for residential purposes. I have been rowing there for a couple of years and I'm happy that they are revitalizing the area.
I feel for you, but that's a civic responsibility, not a corporate one.
Civil governments are created with goal (yes I know it's imperfect) of providing access to resources equally. Corporations are formed with the goal of evading individual responsibility for financial benefit. They have no incentive to treat expensive individuals such as the less educated, the disabled, the poor, etc. They only support them in the most minimalist ways legally required and actually spend money to change laws to support the disadvantaged even less.
If you want that area to be better, round up your fellow residents and get an initiative passed in the city.

Are you describing corporations or city governments here, because I don't see much of a difference. The bulk of that work gets forced on NGOs and charitable organizations.
planUML changed my view on UML. The basic application is extremely ugly and the output is far from being good looking, but writing UML in plain text is extremely refreshing.
