The view from the kitchen window this morning. Loving the dramatic change of season and how nature effortlessly transitions into its new look I’m going to go for a walk right now, through the wood pile, along the bridge and into the wildness. #snow #firstsnowof2019 #hudsonvalley #thenookny #beautifulsnow

Great news! The UK’s biggest supermarket chain is ditching plastic from its own-label products by the end of next year. Ready-meal trays, yoghurt pot lids, straws and loose fruit bags are among items that Tesco will remove. This will equate to 1 billion pieces of plastic being removed. The grocer has also pledged to ban brands with too much non-recyclable packaging from next year All supermarkets should do the same @wholefoods @hannafordmkts @pavilions @ralphsgrocery @costco Reposted from @guardian Thank you @victorialeep for sharing @plasticpollutes #ditchplastic #refuseplasticstraws #refuseplasticbags #refuseplasticbaggies

It’s a pick your own apple orchard, where the fruit are ecologically grown, which means grown on family farms; by stewards of the land, water and wildlife; using natural methods and minimal spray; closing the distance from farm to table. Thank you @breezyhillorchard for providing food grown using healthy practices Growing food is a lot of work! #ecologicalfarming #organic #biodynamic #toxinfree #goodforus #goodforwildlife #goodfortheplanet
In case you had missed it, the November Garden Calendar has been posted on my site This garden calendar is based on the natural rhythms of nature, by following the phases of the moon. Did you know, that just as the moon’s gravitational pull affects the tides, it also has a more subtle effect on soil moisture. Check in with the garden calendar and find out what chores you should be doing this month. The fruit and vegetables featured here are what is in season at the moment, and right now is best time to eat them as they are
Spooky looking still from the film Fantastic Fungi, which shows magical mycelium connecting and communicating with tree roots underground. Mushrooms are the new superheroes! The film is fascinating, entertaining, with gorgeous photography. It’s probably playing in a theater near you. Swipe left to see a photo I took of the director Louie Schwartzberg, a few years ago in Los Angeles, and of him with master mycologist Paul Stamets. Congratulations @louieschwartzberg for this beautiful film Fantastic Fungi is the eco film recommended in the current issue of the Almanac Newsletter @fantasticfungi #louieschwartzberg #paulstamets #mushrooms #are #superheroes
Happy Halloween to you! By @peterdeseve
Friends in Los Angeles Hoping that you and your loved ones are all safe. Hoping as well that each of you has a respirator mask labeled N95 or N100, which will provide some protection. They filter out fine particles. Breathing in smoke from these fires is harmful to your health. Be safe and stay healthy #losangelesfire #gettyfire2019 #besafe #protectyourself #from #breathingsmokefilledair #wildfiresmoke #facemask

Great News! Good people are collecting pine cones in New Mexico, Colorado, South Dakota and other places in western United States, to help reforest fire ravaged forests. Only the healthiest of cones will do, which have no curves, no sap, and no insect bore holes. The cones will be dried, their seeds cleaned, sorted and grown into seedlings ready to be planted. Catastrophic elements like wildfire and drought are being exacerbated by climate change and native tree species with healthy seed producing cones are getting harder to find because their environments are getting destroyed. #goodpeople #helping #toheal #forests #ourchildrens #future

Welcome to the Almanac Newsletter, an e-quarterly in which each issue celebrates innovations in Sustainable and Innovative Designs, Game-Changers who are creating and inspiring positive change, Eco Films that entertain and enlighten, Artists and Authors who are inspired by nature, Plant Based Recipes, a monthly Organic Gardening Calendar, as well as empowering readers to become informed consumers, by turning their purchasing power into a powerful tool for change. Attention is given as well to a Group or Organization that endeavors to arrest, contain, or reverse environmental damage and preserve our natural world for future generations.
As the public becomes increasingly aware of global warming and the unhealthy repercussions of heedless consumption of environmentally harmful products, people are more and more choosing to commit to greener, healthier lifestyles. We are all learning how to make conscious choices that reduce our use of natural resources and ideally serve to protect and sustain them.
Welcome also to my book titled LOLA, Lots of Love Always, which is aimed at young women but is a good read for everyone. It shows how to live a sustainable lifestyle and make healthy choices that are good for you and the planet at large. You are welcome to read the LOLA Blog, which has been archived on my site.
