Slow Food for Thought: Adventures in Vegetarianism
Bobby Sciortino | Jul 18, 2012 | Green Living |
The last eighteen months or so have been an adventure of sorts: I stopped eating animals. I won’t say I stopped eating meat, because depending on whom you ask, this may only include red meat, maybe chicken, and probably not fish. Many people even call themselves vegetarians, but love a good piece or salmon or red snapper. Newsflash: fish have feelings too, and they were definitely once alive.

It was formally submitted to NYC’s Board of Health for a review and comment period before it can be made official.

Seaing Green
Tiffany Kilfeather | Jun 18, 2012 | Green Living |
Let’s begin with a thought experiment (scientists’ double-speak for playing make-believe), that’ll have your anxiety level really set sail. Draw an imaginary line around your home. Are the dog and kids safely inside? Good; from this point on nothing gets in or out. Your power lines are cut off, no deliveries will be accepted, and you are effectively trapped. How will you cook the family dinner, watch your team crush their opponents, or function after sunset? How long will you survive?
