A few links that caught my eye this week:
Would you ever consider trying cheese produced without cows and meat-free burgers made with plant "blood"?
It's not bio-engineered, but I would recommend this light, delicious fish-free "tuna" salad.
In addition to the water we consume for household needs, we also use water indirectly through the products we purchase - food, clothes, technology. A single cotton t-shirt takes over 700 gallons of water to produce! If you're curious to know what your water footprint is, calculate it here.
How cool does this organic farm and sustainable lifestyle center in Northern Thailand look?
Also, a quick note that the relief efforts in Nepal still need your support even though mass media has started to move on. This is a critical period to deliver food, water and shelter; prevent public health emergencies; and support vulnerable populations, such as children, who may be displaced and need to be reconnected with their families. Here is a list of international organizations accepting donations for relief efforts in Nepal. There is also Plan International, which focuses primarily on helping children in post-disaster situations, and the America Nepal Medical Foundation's Relief Fund.
That's all for this week. Cheers!
