10 TIPS To Go Green!

1) Eat organic and buy fruits, vegetables, herbs, cheese, eggs, honey and other food products at farmer’s markets which support local farmers and growers. No farms…no food.
2) Use eco-friendly products and services. Purchase all-natural, organic household cleaners, recycled paper products, organic cotton, and non-GMO food products. Locate an organic dry cleaner. Hire an eco-friendly gardening or car service.
3) Recycle everything possible, including printer cartridges, paper products, newspaper, plastic, glass, aluminum cans, cell phones, computers, etc… and cut paper consumption by using e-mail.
4) Give back – support individuals and organizations who are doing extraordinary work for our planet. Over the years The Brosnan Trust has distributed more than one million dollars to environmental organizations, schools, activists, women’s healthcare and various animal and children’s charities.
5) Plant an organic garden or a victory garden– for yourself or a friend and promote green living.
6) Compost kitchen scraps– from banana peels to coffee grounds, and green waste. Purchase a rotating or stackable composter and start a green waste pile that can be used to fortify your garden naturally.
7) Promote environmental education. Calfornia currently funds environmental programs for kindergarten thru grade 12 (Roots and Shoots) in California and helped pass legislation which requires the state of California to design environmental curriculum for all its students.
8) Donate to off set your emissions (plant trees with Tree people; pay a carbon tax when traveling in environmentally sensitive areas, etc).
9) Design an eco friendly home that features energy efficient appliances, low flow and/or composting toilets, state of the art solar technology, recycled grey water, reclaimed hardwoods, and non-toxic paint and building materials.
10) Speak up — use your voice and speak out about important environmental issues (examples over the past 13 years: stopping BHP’s LNG Terminal off the coast of Oxnard and Malibu, Mitsubishi from building a massive salt factory in Lagoon San Ignacio, protesting the US Navy harming whales with sonar and the French Government’s nuclear testing program in the South Pacific, promoting Dolphin Safe Tuna and supporting the Heritage Tree Bill.)

Master Cleanse ~Day 5

I am Vlogging and Blogging my journey on the Master Cleanse for my 10 days on my quest.I am feeling so terrific.I only feel very drained and cold once the 1.5 hours past the Saltwater Flush is taken in.Thenas the day goes on I am energized all day.That is the Yukky part.I am so excited and amazed that I am making it to 10 Days.I am half way there.
My Raw food in the future will be easier and aware on what I take in .I have so many raw recipe books and tons of other blogs with great raw info that I read daily too.

Master Cleanse ~Day 4

In October 2008 I started incorporating GREEN smoothies into my am .THEN I worked up to almost FULL RAW ,but what we call in the raw world "HIGH RAW" .I am so proud of myself for getting to 4 days of no food ,just SWF, lemonade drink,and laxative tea.
My plan is to stay all 10 Days on this Master Cleanse ,2 Days of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice.Then juices and ,fruit and salads will be my first foods that I will add for the next several days.This will be done once I finish my 10 DAYS on this Master Cleanse journey.

Master Cleanse ~Day 3

Wow Master Cleanse Day 3~I am doing this I am not minding it.Its a mental thing to do it though,thats for sure.I am not going to post much since my days are low key,and my videos are self explanatory!

Master Cleanse Day 2

This is my second Day of the Master Cleanse and its going good.I know the Chicken Soup Sike is just that .....I don't eat Chicken or Chicken soup.I am on a Raw Food Journey~The 10 Day Cleanse is my choice.

Master Cleanse Day 1 YES I plan on 10 days

I am loving being a part of the Raw Fu and Raw Food community in general.My plan was to do this Master Cleanse about 1 week ago.I was going to a potluck and also knew I was going to see the 2 chefs and get a fantastic meal out of the deal.And indeed we did.So as a result I waited until today March 2nd 2009 to start my 10 day CLEANSE~It was nice to know that Bunny Berry whom started Rawfu in South Carolina can get 4 girls together at a Raw function in Washington state and only 2 of the girls in my below photo knew each other.So I am blogging this journey as well as Vlog my journey too.I feel this will keep me in line and make all 10 days happen.Before going raw I did take a soy product for 13 days of the 14 I had intended,and I was doing that product called ALMASED and did that nasty tasting drink powder with my sister.Her and I both stopped at 13 days and I lost 1 lb per day.Let me make something perfectly clear~I am doing this for HEALTH reasons NOT to simply lose weight.I have not done a colonic nor intend to do one in this point in time,so I think this Master Cleanse is cheaper to do right now and I feel the time is right.My next raw Potluck is March 15th.This Cleanse will be over March 12th followed by 1 citrus orange juice day and perhaps a salad.....
