POP Into Action

Green Your SPIRIT and The Hippocrates Health Institute launched The POP Campaign as an empowering stand to keep our voices and choices alive, keep organic standards pure, keep ourselves and others informed and educated and to take action in the name of healthy lifestyles…vibrant, hearty, organic, alive and responsible.  It is our mindset, choices, actions and quality of food and the environment that make a difference.

Whoever controls our food controls us.  We want to keep our freedom to choose healthy organic food for ourselves, and for the integrity of the environment.  Any toxicity within our inner AND outer environments is not tolerated; there is no going back.  There is no place for harmonization except with our own individual healthy human blueprint, communities, freedom and potential. This is our voice!

The Story of Stuff

Hey everyone!  If you haven’t already watched Annie Leonard’s 20 minute video “The Story of Stuff,” you definitely should do it now.  I had to post this brilliant video on Green Your SPIRIT, as it “exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.”

7 Million people have watched this since it was launched in 2007… Check it out!

Introducing the POP Campaign

As we accelerate the POP Campaign to Preserve Organic Power in our choices of growing, buying, selling and eating organic produce, fruits, nut,herb and supplements, I am acutely aware of the clashing of common and uncommon sense and the complexity and simplicity of the issues around food safety – especially when it comes to CODEX rules

Happy World Vegan Month!

As people are becoming increasingly aware of what they eat and how it correlates with the health of their bodies and immune system, they are also beginning to see the correlation between food and the health of the planet.  In other words, our inner and outer environments are connected.

Meat production (beef, poultry and other animal protein) is one of the LARGEST contributers to environmental pollution in the world.  Raising animals for food contributes to an unbelievable amount of pollution in the Earths water, topsoil, fossil fuels and other natural resources.  It is also responsible for mass destruction of rain forests, species extinction, climate change and more.  Meat production has quadrupled in the past 50 years and livestock now outnumber people 3 to 1… basically, the population of livestock is growing at a faster rate than the human population!
