Shout out to Jamie Oliver, recent honoree at the 2010 TED Awards. During Oliver’s speech, he expressed great concern over what we put in our mouths — declaring sugar, fat and non-foods the devil. He’s advocating “food ambassadors” at supermarkets; calling for schools to establish fresh food standards and teaching “10 Key Meals” that they can live on. We’re all for it – obesity seems to have taken over in the U.S. and that certainly works against us on so many levels — quality of life, longevity, personal well-being, health care…You can show your support by signing his Food Revolution petition @ jamieoliver.com
Here’s hoping more chefs start “educating” about nutrition rather than just cashing in on fame. You can check out the debut of Jamie’s Food Revolution tomorrow (Friday) night at 7p (ET) on ABC.
I can see clearly now – someday, almost everything will be recyclable or biodegradable. Jamak Fabrication just introduced the Tripledge GREEN Wiper Blade, the first-ever, 100 percent fully recyclable wiper blade.
According to the company, “the annual amount of petroleum wiper waste from organic rubber wipers is equivalent to 2 football fields covered in 1 foot of petroleum wiper waste in the U.S. alone.
The Tripledge Green Wiper Blade is a silicone blade, which can be converted into a polymer, a much quicker and easier process than trying to recycle traditional rubber.”
They’re so durable that they come with a Lifetime Warranty — they’re meant to last the lifetime of your car and even longer. Jamak will replace any blade if you’re not satisfied. Wish I had known about these a few weeks ago; I just replaced the blades on my mom’s car ’cause they took a beating this past winter. Wouldn’t it be great not to have to replace those rubber wipers every year or so?
Look for them at convenience stores and gas stations nationwide, or find them online @ theWiperStore.com ($6.99 – $10.99/each, depending on size – from 11 inches to 28 inches)
Spring’s around the corner, which means taking a closer look at those short sleeved shirts stashed in your wardrobe. Made by sustainable manufacturer, Same Underneath, this smart-looking men’s Polo is made from 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton jersey. Aside from feeling soft, the bamboo fiber is a natural at wicking, so you’ll feel cool and dry all day.
Bamboo is highly renewable; and the organic cotton is grown in certified pesticide-free and herbicide-free soil, using organic farming methods – which helps keep our water nice and clean.
Reduced from $90 to $32.50 @ youdeserve.com (available in small or medium). Who says eco fashion needs to cost an arm and a leg?
