Have you seen the documentary The Future of Food? If you haven’t, I highly recommend it, especially if you are concerned about GMO crops and the potential impact that they have on our health and the health of our environment. The Future of Food has been a key tool in the American and international anti-GMO grassroots activist movement to ban GMO crops. I want a future where our food sources are natural, organic and healthy – not modified and scary!
What are your thoughts on GMO’s?
Is this something that concerns you?
Hello, Friends. What are your weekend plans? Since Hurricane Irene decided not to visit Florida, we plan to spend the weekend at the beach. We have been spending a lot of our beach time, eco-walking. What could be better than spending an afternoon strolling our favorite beaches and cleaning them up along the way? (It would be better if our coastlines and oceans didn’t need cleaning up!) Do you eco-walk, eco-run or eco-hike?
While I get ready for an afternoon at the beach, here are a few green things to take you into the weekend:
– Walls of green.
– Do you live in NY – Warby Parker is hiring!
– Mr. Sweet Greens wants to build one of these in North Carolina.
– And I want one of these!
– Let’s make veggie stuffed baked potatoes.
– Life is a bowl of cherries.
If Hurricane Irene is headed your way, please be prepared and stay safe. I will see you back here on Monday.
xo,
Sweet Greens
