>> Green your Thanksgiving dinner with the help of the Cool Foods Campaign, a site put together by the Center for Food Safety to help you have the “coolest” — meaning the lowest carbon footprint — Thanksgiving ever, yummily. Visit the site for recipes from two top sustainable chefs: Dan Barber of Blue Hill and Nora Pouillon of Restaurant Nora.
>> Have a Food Fight by voting with your fork. Did you know Obama cited Michael Pollan’s food ideas in an interview with Time’s Joe Klein? That, plus other foodie related stuff on my post at FilterForGood….
>> Have an eco period. The Red Vadge of Courage is the hilar title for a Grist review of eco-feminine products. This post only covers pads, but a followup on tampons and cups will follow –
>> Design a bike-friendly T-shirt that’s simple, bold, bright, and unisex and scalable (to fit mugs, etc.) with LACBC included somewhere within it. If your design’s selected, you’ll win a gift card for an undisclosed amount from Orange 20. Deadline: Nov. 18.
Wooo for eco periods! As a big-time cup/reusable pad activist, I’m all for spreading the word about alternative menstrual products. My website is still in its most beginning phases but its full of info and energy about kicking un-eco tampon and pad addictions. Thanks for spreading the word!
