Dream of Wild Health

The Mvskokee Food Sovereignty Initiative has instituted an annual Food Sovereignty Symposium.

At this year's event, Sally Auger and Diane Wilson presented Dream of Wild Health, a visionary program in Hugo, MN. On a ten-acre farm, youths and families are nurtured in body, mind, and spirit. Through three youth programs, kids and teens learn about responsibility, respect, how to choose a healthy diet, and how to connect with and foster nature. Then, this group reaches out to the community, providing locally grown organic produce at the farmer's markets. It is a beautiful notion that has come to fruition through dedication and cooperation.

Auld Lang Syne - Actions for a Green Year

Auld Lang Syne is on my mind today, not only because it's what is traditionally sung at midnight, but because of what it means. Auld Lang Syne is sung at this time because it symbolizes endings and new beginnings. The noise and bustle of the holidays is over and we are entering a hopeful new year. As you look back over the previous year and prepare to ring in the new, think about how you can make your year, your community, and your world better.

Sustainable Environments

Continuing this mini blog series about everyday actions regular people can take to help create sustainable environments, here are five more tips!

1. Are you still using that old leaf blower? Raking is much better for the planet, not to mention your health! The same is true for a push mower instead of a gas-powered or electric mowers (electricity comes mostly from coal-powered plants, and there is no such thing as 'clean coal').

Environmentally sustainable living made easier

Here are five more easy actions to live more sustainably!

1. Stop phone book delivery. YellowPagesGoesGreen.org is a movement against unsolicited phone book delivery. Sign up to remove your home or office from receiving telephone directories (beware phony sites; you should see a photo of a mountain at the top of the correct page) . If you need a book, simply call to request one. This will prevent unnecessary waste and save you the trouble of recycling unwanted phone books.
