To most bakeries, going green means dying cupcakes for St. Patrick's Day - few are aware of the simple ways they could make their desserts eco-friendly. Ingredients are key of course - organic, local and unprocessed being beneficial elements of a dessert that has a low impact on our bodies and the planet. Offering up smaller and/or biodegradable or recycled packaging makes a big difference, and composting is also a great measure to implement. And little practices add up as well, such as being more mindful about energy and all forms of waste. Play your part by supporting sustainable shoppes (check out Buy Local Santa Monica) and/or asking your favorite baker to consider incorporating these simple initiatives.
Today's Side Deal
Today's Action:
Take Part
Adults know that life is all about balance, from work to play to eating cupcakes in moderation. But unless they're taught, children don't have this knowledge and are at risk of over indulging, in food especially. Give the kids in your life the tools to make better decisions about what they eat by getting involved with the Teaching Garden. Communities around the country have teamed up to educate the youth on nutrition by showing them how to grow their own food and keep their lunch boxes free of junk. In addition to teaching these values to children in your life, you can help spread the word by informing your local schools of the program and encouraging them to take part.
