KEEP The MEET Media Star,
The World's first Talking Beet Plant
was in the news again this week!!!
GROWING YOUR OWN PRODUCE
MAY BE SIMPLER THAN YOU THINK
The writer is BROOK LARIOS.
Brook really captured the essence
of KEEP The BEET:
“I’m playing with the story of an actual beet that decided
she was tired of just sitting in the ground, watching
the human race become more and more fragmented,
and the beet, whose name is Keep the Beet, decided to speak up,”
said Goldman, also known to friends as The Enchanted Gardener.
Keep the Beet encourages people to make friends with a local,
organic farmer; purchase the largest beet they can find
and repot it, keeping it alive as it sprouts billowing, edible green leaves.

OTHER STORIES BY BROOK LARIOS,
SAN DIEGO SUSTAINABLE FOOD EMAMINER
From Brook Ladios Earth Day Artlcle
Perhaps Earth Day is a good reminder that a sustainable lifestyle is a healthy lifestyle -- that sustainably raised foods taste better than those laden with pesticides -- that the ratio of planet to people is pretty astounding: one to nearly seven billion, but unless it happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday, I think few people, however, do more than nodding to Google's Earth Day icon (which is pretty sweet, I'll admit. Have you checked it out?) before going about their general search. Which is fine! Just remember to do your part in small ways throughout the year. Earth Day might be gimmicky, but the Earth herself has got to be sustained, and she's trying her darnedest. Give her a hand! (No, not a round of applause).
LA MILPA ORGANICA ARTICLE BY BROOK LARIOS
La Milpa Organica Farm hosts a potluck and movie on the third Saturday of each month, offering members of the community an opportunity to congregate under the oaks in the Cinema Paradiso outdoor theater. Free to the public, the dedicated health-centric crew will demonstrate how, in a nation that typically values industrialized farming, they're making a difference, and how you can be a part of the movement toward fresh, chemical-free foods.

PERF GO GREEN is making BIODEGRADABLE TRASH BAGS
from old trash bags that last 500-800 years. The PERF BAGS
will decompose into Biomass in soil within two years.
I have some planted one experimental KEEP The BEET's pot
to witness to this!!!! I am going to include PERF as well in
future pots so others can see the results for themselves.

ANTHONY ZOLEZZI is one of the main inspirations behind
GREENOPS, a new Recycling Redemption project
that launches on Earth Day. GrEENOPOLIS is the
Social Network site. I am sure there are going
to be companies using plastic blottles for years.
This is a great project to make sure that those
producing drinks and other products in plastic
begin responsible for a program that sees
the bottles they sell are returned to the store
that sells it.
