Can you believe it! GreenDP? AMAZING

Well, well, weeellll!
I heard it a little while ago and then I went off and did something and it's still sinking in but
omG!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!

No one thought this would happen. I prayed and meditated and asked all my ancestors for help and for miracles and it happened.

I don't want to sigh with relief yet but I do have high hopes that things ARE going to get better.

But we are going to have to be firm and make sure they know what we want.

Housing, Food - Basic Needs, ...anyways.. how exciting.. we shall celebrate!
Hurray for #SocialJustice but remember Greens stay strong..

 Andrew- "I'm watching you!"

and I am watching you too John! 

And this better not turn into some old boys club. Please make your grandkids and their grandkids proud. Build a truly more social justice sustainable world to live in. Help us have a future! A beautiful Green future. Imagine...Imagine if the U.S. had followed through and voted Jill Stien, can you imagine what kind of world we would have had. So sad. But WE DID IT! We stuck to our beliefs and #SocialJustice made a HUGE VICTORY TODAY!! and do not ever under estimate or forget that and you make sure you hold these gentlemen to their platforms.

Come on now, Andrew and John, I challenge you, show Justin how to follow through on what you say...show him how to keep a promise!

Green Party Big Winner with ONLY 3 SEATS!!!!

Some may claim this was alternative or fake news but it's not.
I heard it announced on the tv that Andrew Weaver is the most powerful man in BC last night.

There's been some wonderful articles with great charts and info, check it out!!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy Greens!!

 Great Article!! This is great news, I had no idea!! Did you?

Clark Is Done; NDP and Greens Now Need to Deliver the Change BC Voted For
https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2017/05/11/Clark-Is-Done/


"Even if absentee ballots and recounts were to unfortunately give Clark a bare majority, there is no way the BC Liberals can continue for long.

Why? Because it only takes one BC Liberal MLA crossing the floor to the NDP or Greens or to sit as an independent or quitting or, god forbid, passing away, and the B.C. legislature is no longer controlled by Christy Clark.

Or it could be one or two BC Liberal MLAs calling in sick or missing a confidence vote for the government to be defeated. That means either NDP leader John Horgan would be asked to form a new government, with Green Party support, or a new election be called."

B.C. election results leave Alberta feeling green about the gills

"And the winner is …

Andrew Weaver, leader of British Columbia’s Green Party.

And the loser is …

Rachel Notley, premier of Alberta.

Even though we won’t know for another few weeks the official results of British Columbia’s squeaker election, we can draw a few conclusions already.

It’s fair to say the Green Party was a big winner even though it captured just three seats out of 87."

The ten health benefits of green smoothies was fist published by Victoria Boutenko & The Raw Family as Ode to Green Smoothie in January 2005 

This is really silly!

On Facebook

https://www.facebook.com/victoriaboutenko?sk=info

 Victoria Boutenko came to the USA with her family, including children Sergei and Valya, in 1990. The Boutenko family, also know as the Raw Family, became world-renowned raw food teacher, chefs & writers. Victoria Boutenko has thousands of followers. As a result of her teachings, many raw food communities have been formed and helped throughout the world. In recent years Victoria has become most famous for her discovery of green smoothies, which has revolutionized “health food” as we know it.

What brought Victoria to the raw food lifestyle was that her whole family, relishing the abundant food in their new American home, became overweight and sick. In her first book, Raw Family, the story is told of the problems they faced and how Victoria began to research alternatives when conventional medicine was not helping them. They had been desperately ill with serious diseases, including juvenile diabetes, arrhythmia, hyperthyroid, asthma, and arthritis. By radically changing their diet to 100% raw food, all four went from desperation and sickness to complete healing and happiness.

The commitment was made by the whole family to go and stay raw. At this point it’s been 16 years, and the difference in their health and looks speaks for itself. Read More Here

Came across this on Linkedin in my Four Years. Go Group.  
Edibles Advocate Alliance. http://www.ediblesadvocatealliance.org/ Wonderful site that is just so full of really valuable info. I've been putting lot thought into the short film I want to make for the Four Years. Go "Possible Futures" Contest.

Thinking about my future, how I want to live, how I would like the world would be. How to "Green" my lifestyle and really make it sustainable. I have lots of ideas, and this site really helps has lots of advice on how I can make it happen. Check it out!

What Is A Local Food Web?

A Food Web consists of the links between farmers and growers, processors, suppliers, local food shops, as well as other local food providers such as farmers markets, box schemes, community supported agriculture and food cooperatives, through to consumers.

A thriving Local Food Web benefits people, places and communities by:

• Creating new jobs and small businesses,
• Keeping local money in the local economy,
• Generating fewer food miles and less waste,
• Securing thriving business models for farmers and producers,
• Increasing access to fresh, healthy, affordable food, and
• Expanding consumer choice of where to shop and what to buy locally produced items.

Visit the website to learn more about the following:

What is a Food System?

What is a Community or Regional Food System?

 What Is A Sustainable Community Food System?

The word sustainable is often associated with the sustainable agriculture movement, which had its beginnings in North America in the 1980s. This period was characterized by a wave of bank foreclosures of farm operations, particularly small and family-owned farms.

Many were unable to compete with the large national and international farming corporations and were forced to sell their farms and go out of business. Globalization, through international trade agreements, were also viewed by some in the agriculture community as another reason for the demise of many small and family-owned farms.

Misuse and overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides contributed heavily to the degradation of many farms and waterways throughout the United States, Canada, and other developing countries.

Out of this "farm crisis" came national and international institutions and organizations of concerned citizens, producers, community organizations, business like the Edibles Advocate Alliance, and environmental groups.

We advocate for the creation of policies and laws that supported new environmentally safe approaches to producing food that would ensure the livelihood of farmers, vibrant economically-sound communities, and local living economies.

Thus, a Sustainable Community Food System is a self-reliant system that sustains people as well as the land. Read More Here http://www.ediblesadvocatealliance.org/

Why Are Sustainable Community Food Systems Important?

A Sustainable Community Food System, whether it is local or regional, is a Local Food Web that brings food producers closer to consumers by producing fruits and vegetables or raising livestock or fish closer to the places they are sold.

Emily Brooks and the Edibles Advocate Alliance believe that when it comes to food security and economic development, the closer producers are to homes and neighborhoods, the greater the access to more nutritious and affordable food and the more we are able to steward and protect our environment.

A Sustainable Community Food System supports long-term connections between farmers and consumers while meeting the economic, social, health, and environmental needs of the communities within a region. Read More Here http://www.ediblesadvocatealliance.org/
