Now that your Thanksgiving turkey has digested, it is a great time to recommit to your health by eating a locally grown plant-based diet! <a href="http://snaptopmarket.com/">SnapTop Market</a> is a super-easy and convenient way to do so. SnapTop is a small food market based in Boston's south end, specializing in locally grown produced, baked goods, dairy, and dry ingredients. The best thing about SnapTop is that they have plenty of healthy <a href="http://snaptopmarket.com/images/snaptopmenu.pdf">made-to-order meals</a>, including salads, vegetable pasta, and wraps - this totally takes the effort and angst out of healthy cooking! SnapTop is a BIG time saver, especially during the busy holiday season!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06318373254853323367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186934129448004041.post-31446861933334116722014-12-02T08:00:00.000-05:002014-12-02T08:00:00.461-05:00The Dirty Dozen for Skincare<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Dirty Dozen was a term coined for a list of twelve fruits and vegetables that are contaminated by the most pesticides and herbacides - the list is a handy guide for consumers so they know what to buy organic. However, toxic chemicals aren't only found in our food. Harmful chemicals can be found in all sorts of consumer products - including the soaps, moisturizers, and makeup we put on our skin everyday. So, health experts have created a Dirty Dozen list for skincare! Print this list and keep it with you when you shop for cosmetics and make sure to read ingredient lists and avoid all of the above chemicals. Or, download an app to do the work for you. I love the <a href="http://ewg.org/skindeep/">EWG SkinDeep app </a>and the <a href="http://www.thinkdirtyapp.com/">ThinkDirty app</a>. both of which have great information on the safety of skincare products. </div>

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and many of us are going to eat....A LOT. Luckily, there is a new way to get on track after Thanksgiving and stay feeling good during the holiday season. <a href="http://www.juicery.com/">The Juicery</a> just opened in the North End and offers lots of smoothies, juices and superfoods like chia pudding, quinoa salad, and <a href="http://harmlessharvest.com/">Harmless Harvest coconut water</a>. We all know that fruits and veggies are good for us, but eating a plant based diet is also better for the planet as the meat industry is behind a lot of methane emissions and water consumption. The Juicery makes it super easy - and delicious - to go vegan or vegetarian after Thanksgiving! I highly recommend the<a href="http://www.juicery.com/boston-ma/"> Pine Ango Beet Tango</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. First things first, REHYDRATE! This is especially important if you had one too many glasses of red wine at Thanksgiving dinner. One of the best ways to re-hydrate is <a href="http://harmlessharvest.com/">Harmless Harvest raw organic coconut water</a>!<br />
<br />
2. Next, stretch it out with a little yoga. Your body will appreciate it for sure.<br />
<br />
3. Thirdly, get something done. Of course it is nice to have a few days off, but it is also a great feeling to accomplish something over the long weekend. I suggest holiday shopping on Black Friday - but ONLINE ONLY. Definitely check out <a href="http://climatestore.com/">ClimateStore.com</a> and <a href="http://www.shopfollain.com/">Follain's</a> online store for eco gifts for the whole family.<br />
<br />
4. Freeze your leftovers, and enjoy them a little at a time instead of binging on them all at once.<br />
<br />
5. This weekend is a great time for a digital detox. All of your friends and coworkers want to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families too, so turn off your phone and computer. This will help save energy and your sanity - just in time for the holiday season.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last week, on the two-year anniversary
of Hurricane Sandy, Mayor Walsh announced a regional summit to better prepare Boston for the impacts of
climate change. The announcement also marked the kickoff of an international
design competition focused on climate preparedness, as well as an update of the
City of Boston’s ongoing climate efforts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“There is no issue more urgent than
climate action. When we work together, the steps we take do more than protect
us: they can bring us closer together, they can create good jobs, they can
improve our health, our public space, and our civic life,” said Mayor Walsh. “I
look forward to working closely with the MAPC, the Metro Mayor’s Coalition, and
the Commonwealth on this critical issue.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The half-day summit, which will be
held at the University of Massachusetts Boston next spring, is a
first-of-its-kind convening on regional climate preparedness and will establish
a mechanism for coordination of regional, cross-government action going
forward. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">“It is essential that communities
in the Boston metropolitan area work together on climate change,” said Richard
C. Rossi, Cambridge City Manager. “Climate change is creating new stresses on
our communities, and while we are individually doing a lot within our borders,
what is missing is a regional strategy.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“The impacts of climate change do
not respect municipal boundaries,” said Marc Draisen, Executive Director of the
Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC). “It’s incredibly important that all
of the cities and towns in Greater Boston work together to address issues like
sea level rise, coastal flooding, and rising temperatures. Cooperation and planning
are the keys to success.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The competition invites
multi-disciplinary teams to submit design solutions to sea-level rise for three
sites in the City that will help better prepare the site and the surrounding
community for climate change. The three sites are located in the North End,
Fort Point Channel, and Morrissey Boulevard. The competition will conclude in
the spring, with a first place prize of $20,000. It is funded through a grant
from the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, and the Barr
Foundation. Details about the design competition can be found at <a href="http://www.bostonlivingwithwater.org/" target="_blank">www.bostonlivingwithwater.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These announcements build on the
City of Boston’s ongoing climate preparedness efforts. A year ago, <a href="http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/default.aspx?id=6381" target="_blank">the City released</a> the
report, <a href="http://issuu.com/ees_boston/docs/final_report_29oct13" target="_blank"><i>Climate Ready Boston:
Municipal Vulnerability to Climate Change</i></a>, which was
a cross-departmental effort led by the Mayor’s Office of Environment, Energy,
and Open Space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The report identified the City’s
vulnerabilities to climate change in order to help departments take action to
prepare. In the past year, the City has made significant progress on reducing
these vulnerabilities, especially in the areas of emergency response, extreme
heat preparedness, flood and stormwater management, capital planning, and
community engagement. Efforts include:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

result of $1.32 million in <a href="http://www.mass.gov/eea/pr-2014/communities-awarded-for-municipal-resiliency-projects.html" target="_blank">grant
funding from the Commonwealth</a>, four emergency shelters will be
getting solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays to provide at least three days of backup
power during an emergency. In addition, the Office of Emergency Management
(OEM) and Boston Centers for Youth and Families (BCYF) are conducting an
Emergency Generator Study to outfit four BCYF Community Centers with emergency
generators.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Facility improvements to address
extreme heat: </b>BCYF has purchased tents and water access (sprinklers) to help
handle extreme heat at outdoor programming sites during the summer. In
addition, the BCYF Paris Street Community Center capital project includes
installation of an emergency generator and air conditioning throughout the
building, allowing the facility to serve as a cooling center.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Last month my co-authors at <a href="http://justusgalsboston.blogspot.com/">Just Us Gals</a> and I hosted a gathering of <a href="https://twitter.com/bosbloggers">Boston Bloggers</a> at one of our favorite local boutiques - <a href="http://www.shakethetreeboston.com/">Shake the Tree</a>. This beautifully curated space on Salem St. in the North End is the perfect spot to find gifts and trinkets made by local artisans. While not all items in the store are locally made, the friendly staff are knowledgeable on the origins of each piece and can easily point you in the direction of a Boston-based jeweler or candle maker.

We all buy stuff, there is no way around it. But, a lot of us buy too much. The average American spends between <a href="http://wallstcheatsheet.com/personal-finance/money-talk-how-does-the-average-american-live.html/?a=viewall">$30 and $60 on clothing each month</a>. So, how often do you buy new clothes? Do you really need them? Are there greener shopping options that you've been meaning to try but haven't? Here is how you can test if you need to make a change:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) Look at your spending for the last month and make a note of what percent you spent on clothing. If it is more than <a href="http://www.whowhatwear.com/monthly-shopping-clothing-budget-guide-2014/slide2">5% of your monthly paycheck</a>, you should re-think your shopping habits. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) Did you buy more than one item of clothing in the past month? Was it practical?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) If you bought clothing last month - have you worn it yet?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4) Did you look at vintage, thrift, or fair trade options for clothes before making your purchases?</div>

Former Boston Mayor, Thomas Menino, passed away this morning. During his 20+ years as leader of the city, Menino did many great things - including great strides in sustainability and climate change preparedness. Though we'll miss Menino, his legacy will live on for years. We are ever grateful for everything he did for Boston.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06318373254853323367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186934129448004041.post-4081325038650592772014-10-28T08:00:00.000-04:002014-10-28T08:00:07.779-04:00Time to Weatherize Your Home or Apartment<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here are some easy ways to see energy savings on your bill this winter! Start before November, and you'll get the best results.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Install <a href="http://www.climatestore.com/shop/smart-home/weatherization/clear-window-insulation-5-window-kit-am-conservation">temporary window film</a> to blog out the cold. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Make <a href="https://livefashionable.com/product/mehari/">blankets</a> easily accessible for all of the places you spend the most time at home. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Make a habit of opening blinds during the day and closing them after the sun goes down.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
