Greetings from Green Spirit Healthy Living!

The “Age of Stupid”? I attended the global premiere of this film last week as it was played simultaneously in over 450 theaters in 63 countries around the world. It brought up a lot of great points relating to what we need to wake up and do in order to prevent global warming catastrophes ~ and hence, not be known in the future as the “Age of Stupid”. Very timely advice as the Kyoto treaty is expiring and global leaders are meeting this December in Copenhagen to work out a new treaty. The time is now for everyone to work together to solve the most pressing problem of our time and our leaders need to hear your voice. If you’re not sure how to contact your senator, this video shows you just how easy it is to do.

The biggest disappointment I had in the film though was that it barely touched on the importance of our diet in reducing our carbon footprint. The most effective way to fight global warming is to go vegetarian. Did you know that eating 1 lb. of meat emits the same amount of greenhouse gases as driving an SUV 40 miles? Read more fascinating information here. And even better than going vegetarian is to add as much locally grown and raw food to your diet!

Not sure how to get started with raw foods ~ or need some new inspiration? I have the answer for you! Attend one or both of my upcoming classes on October 24th. The first class at 11:30am will teach you the basics you need to know to get started making your own delicious raw, living food meals that your family and friends will love. Raw food does not need to be boring! You’ll find a whole new world of culinary delights opens up to you and you’ll look and feel so much better, you’ll never have to feel deprived! The next class at 2:00 pm will teach you advanced techniques like creating your own breads and cheeses. You’ll learn how to create a wide variety of dishes for every day as well as desserts for any occasion. Space is limited, so sign up now!

Wishing you radiant health!
