Welcome all to October 2012 the many wonders of fall in central Indiana and Natural Awakenings
As the keeper of the earthrsquos environment and your own personal environment you choose through your daily actions how you will affect our natural resources and those whom you encounter Your power to enact positive change is unlimited Take a minute and let those words absorb into your conscience
Now I would ask you to think for a moment about your daily routine Are you conserving or wasting When you wake in the morning and proceed through the day do you turn on only the lights you need or by habit do you turn on every light Can you perform your routine without using any power Have you ever tried
Thinking about your water consumption the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports a 5-minute shower uses as much as 25 gallons of water Most bathroom faucets flow at a rate of two gallons per minute Irsquom sometimes referred to as the water police in my home where each shower is controlled using an egg timer I do just fine with shutting off the water in between the wash and the rinse cycles Surprisingly the average person uses 100 gallons of water each day or enough to fill 1600 drinking glasses according to the EPA This is one instance where I insist on being anything but average
Traders Point Creamery had a vision about how they would positively impact the local area and this month they have shared some wonderful stories about the creation of the barns located on the farm Best of all they have been created from recycled uses Check it out on page 16
We have many more amazing articles this month and slated for the remainder of the year We are especially looking forward to unveiling our first annual Natural Directory in January 2013 This will be your go to guide for all Indiana providers offering something in the holistic natural or healthy living industry
I get chills when those calls come in from friends and neighbors excitedly spilling details and stories about the mecca of heart-centered individuals that are rapidly growing and changing the face of Indianapolis and Irsquom so proud to be part of that movement We are aligning with a greater good and molding new lives from shared and impassioned energy This is it ndash this is us ndash using our power to enact positive change I say Yes to that Can you feel it
Positively

ClassicCleanersInvestsinGreenTechnologyforBetterDryCleaningClassic Cleaners one of Central Indianarsquos largest dry
cleaning companies recently invested more than $300000 in environmentally friendly technologies that also provide better dry cleaning for customers The development is part of its mission to be the largest ldquocompletely greenrdquo business of its kind in the area
The investment covers state-of-the-art high-capacity dry cleaning equipment plus new biodegradable and eco-safe fluids Non-toxic SystemK4 fluids replace perchlorethylene or perc that has been used at Classic Cleanersrsquo production facilities Although perc has been the industry standard of dry cleaning fluids for decades the company spent several years researching greener alternatives that also improve results The company began testing Kreusslerrsquos SystemK4 in April 2011 and completed the installation last July after concluding that it has the best cleaning capabilities of any of the green alternatives
ldquoClassic Cleaners has long been a leader in environ-mental responsibility in the [region]rdquo says Steve Arnold the companyrsquos general manager and partner ldquoEven though wersquove been recognized in past years for our environmental responsibility by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management we werenrsquot satisfied Moving to SystemK4 not only benefits our environment it also helps [us] serve our customers betterrdquo
Arnold notes that the SystemK4 solution virtually elimi-nates the gradual graying effect on clothing that is common with perc ldquoGoing green with SystemK4 lets us keep whites white and brights brightrdquo Arnold says adding that itrsquos also completely odorless and has received the highest ratings from the dermatological community so that those that might be sensitive or allergic to dry cleaning chemicals can now comfortably dry clean their garments again
Since 1995 Classic Cleaners has been honored for exceptional environmental stewardship by the Indiana De-partment of Environmental Management in its 5-Star Environ-mental Recognition Program The company supports many local nonprofit organizations including Dress for Success

New moms that are breastfeeding should abstain from caffeine
according to an interview with Dr Ruth Lawrence published in the Journal of Caffeine Research a peer-reviewed publication Lawrence says that because infants are not able to metabolize or excrete caffeine efficiently a breastfeeding motherrsquos consumption of the drug may lead to caffeine accumulation and symptoms such as wakefulness and irritability in her baby
breasthealthx-rayscreeningmethodQuestioned
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

ThePhthalatesndashDiabetesConnectionWhat we place on our skin might increase the
risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

GoodIdeaEco-ChecklistTracksPersonalProgressKeeping daily to-do lists is standard practice for many life projects Now the environmentally conscious can periodically monitor their personal eco-progress via ChasingGreenorggreen-actions The website helps people to become greener by suggesting many activities and ideas to consider and then check off when they have been accomplished all while exchanging ideas with an interactive community Eight categoriesmdashenergy health heating and cooling recycle and reuse travel water miscellaneous and one-time actionsmdashtogether contain more than 150 distinct actionable steps Users can register or log-in using Facebook and save the latest additions to their progress report then return at any time to monitor the successful greening of their lifestyle For example while many homeowners may have already insulated their dwelling the energy section points out possible areas for improvement including water pipes roof walls window treatments doors ductwork water heater and basement Some tips in the miscellaneous section are timely for upcoming holidays such as giving an eco-friendly gift substituting an experience for a tangible gift and sending e-cards instead of traditional paper greetings The travel section reminds the eco- and budget-conscious to check their carsrsquo tire pressure often as underinflated tires put more rubber on the road which demands more energy to drive and hurts gas mileage When planning trips a rail option is deemed better for the environment than driving or flying Operators of the site based in Walla Walla Washington state ldquoBy offering small steps towards going green we hope to give people a starting point and a source of inspiration We are advocates of the proverbial lsquoWell I can do thatrsquo momentrdquo Relevant articles on various topics offer additional eco-tips enhanced by user comments and reviews

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring

2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces

Welcome all to October 2012 the many wonders of fall in central Indiana and Natural Awakenings
As the keeper of the earthrsquos environment and your own personal environment you choose through your daily actions how you will affect our natural resources and those whom you encounter Your power to enact positive change is unlimited Take a minute and let those words absorb into your conscience
Now I would ask you to think for a moment about your daily routine Are you conserving or wasting When you wake in the morning and proceed through the day do you turn on only the lights you need or by habit do you turn on every light Can you perform your routine without using any power Have you ever tried
Thinking about your water consumption the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports a 5-minute shower uses as much as 25 gallons of water Most bathroom faucets flow at a rate of two gallons per minute Irsquom sometimes referred to as the water police in my home where each shower is controlled using an egg timer I do just fine with shutting off the water in between the wash and the rinse cycles Surprisingly the average person uses 100 gallons of water each day or enough to fill 1600 drinking glasses according to the EPA This is one instance where I insist on being anything but average
Traders Point Creamery had a vision about how they would positively impact the local area and this month they have shared some wonderful stories about the creation of the barns located on the farm Best of all they have been created from recycled uses Check it out on page 16
We have many more amazing articles this month and slated for the remainder of the year We are especially looking forward to unveiling our first annual Natural Directory in January 2013 This will be your go to guide for all Indiana providers offering something in the holistic natural or healthy living industry
I get chills when those calls come in from friends and neighbors excitedly spilling details and stories about the mecca of heart-centered individuals that are rapidly growing and changing the face of Indianapolis and Irsquom so proud to be part of that movement We are aligning with a greater good and molding new lives from shared and impassioned energy This is it ndash this is us ndash using our power to enact positive change I say Yes to that Can you feel it

ClassicCleanersInvestsinGreenTechnologyforBetterDryCleaningClassic Cleaners one of Central Indianarsquos largest dry
cleaning companies recently invested more than $300000 in environmentally friendly technologies that also provide better dry cleaning for customers The development is part of its mission to be the largest ldquocompletely greenrdquo business of its kind in the area
The investment covers state-of-the-art high-capacity dry cleaning equipment plus new biodegradable and eco-safe fluids Non-toxic SystemK4 fluids replace perchlorethylene or perc that has been used at Classic Cleanersrsquo production facilities Although perc has been the industry standard of dry cleaning fluids for decades the company spent several years researching greener alternatives that also improve results The company began testing Kreusslerrsquos SystemK4 in April 2011 and completed the installation last July after concluding that it has the best cleaning capabilities of any of the green alternatives
ldquoClassic Cleaners has long been a leader in environ-mental responsibility in the [region]rdquo says Steve Arnold the companyrsquos general manager and partner ldquoEven though wersquove been recognized in past years for our environmental responsibility by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management we werenrsquot satisfied Moving to SystemK4 not only benefits our environment it also helps [us] serve our customers betterrdquo
Arnold notes that the SystemK4 solution virtually elimi-nates the gradual graying effect on clothing that is common with perc ldquoGoing green with SystemK4 lets us keep whites white and brights brightrdquo Arnold says adding that itrsquos also completely odorless and has received the highest ratings from the dermatological community so that those that might be sensitive or allergic to dry cleaning chemicals can now comfortably dry clean their garments again
Since 1995 Classic Cleaners has been honored for exceptional environmental stewardship by the Indiana De-partment of Environmental Management in its 5-Star Environ-mental Recognition Program The company supports many local nonprofit organizations including Dress for Success

breasthealthx-rayscreeningmethodQuestioned
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Welcome all to October 2012 the many wonders of fall in central Indiana and Natural Awakenings
As the keeper of the earthrsquos environment and your own personal environment you choose through your daily actions how you will affect our natural resources and those whom you encounter Your power to enact positive change is unlimited Take a minute and let those words absorb into your conscience
Now I would ask you to think for a moment about your daily routine Are you conserving or wasting When you wake in the morning and proceed through the day do you turn on only the lights you need or by habit do you turn on every light Can you perform your routine without using any power Have you ever tried
Thinking about your water consumption the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports a 5-minute shower uses as much as 25 gallons of water Most bathroom faucets flow at a rate of two gallons per minute Irsquom sometimes referred to as the water police in my home where each shower is controlled using an egg timer I do just fine with shutting off the water in between the wash and the rinse cycles Surprisingly the average person uses 100 gallons of water each day or enough to fill 1600 drinking glasses according to the EPA This is one instance where I insist on being anything but average
Traders Point Creamery had a vision about how they would positively impact the local area and this month they have shared some wonderful stories about the creation of the barns located on the farm Best of all they have been created from recycled uses Check it out on page 16
We have many more amazing articles this month and slated for the remainder of the year We are especially looking forward to unveiling our first annual Natural Directory in January 2013 This will be your go to guide for all Indiana providers offering something in the holistic natural or healthy living industry
I get chills when those calls come in from friends and neighbors excitedly spilling details and stories about the mecca of heart-centered individuals that are rapidly growing and changing the face of Indianapolis and Irsquom so proud to be part of that movement We are aligning with a greater good and molding new lives from shared and impassioned energy This is it ndash this is us ndash using our power to enact positive change I say Yes to that Can you feel it

cleaning companies recently invested more than $300000 in environmentally friendly technologies that also provide better dry cleaning for customers The development is part of its mission to be the largest ldquocompletely greenrdquo business of its kind in the area
The investment covers state-of-the-art high-capacity dry cleaning equipment plus new biodegradable and eco-safe fluids Non-toxic SystemK4 fluids replace perchlorethylene or perc that has been used at Classic Cleanersrsquo production facilities Although perc has been the industry standard of dry cleaning fluids for decades the company spent several years researching greener alternatives that also improve results The company began testing Kreusslerrsquos SystemK4 in April 2011 and completed the installation last July after concluding that it has the best cleaning capabilities of any of the green alternatives
ldquoClassic Cleaners has long been a leader in environ-mental responsibility in the [region]rdquo says Steve Arnold the companyrsquos general manager and partner ldquoEven though wersquove been recognized in past years for our environmental responsibility by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management we werenrsquot satisfied Moving to SystemK4 not only benefits our environment it also helps [us] serve our customers betterrdquo
Arnold notes that the SystemK4 solution virtually elimi-nates the gradual graying effect on clothing that is common with perc ldquoGoing green with SystemK4 lets us keep whites white and brights brightrdquo Arnold says adding that itrsquos also completely odorless and has received the highest ratings from the dermatological community so that those that might be sensitive or allergic to dry cleaning chemicals can now comfortably dry clean their garments again
Since 1995 Classic Cleaners has been honored for exceptional environmental stewardship by the Indiana De-partment of Environmental Management in its 5-Star Environ-mental Recognition Program The company supports many local nonprofit organizations including Dress for Success

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

ldquoThe real action the real energy was the 21st-century aspect [of Rio+20]rdquo advises Scherr ldquoI call it the lsquonetwork worldrsquo recognizing the number of players today Itrsquos not just national governments itrsquos states and cities corporations and philanthropists In addition to the official meetings and negotiations between 3000 and 4000 other gatherings were going on between business people mayors civil society organizations and others presenting myriad opportunities to make specific commitments Wersquore moving to a different dynamicrdquo

Results-OrientedRole ModelsState-based examples of sustainable development in action speak to widespread needs in the United States Here are examples of five models worth replicating

stones unturned including cleaning up brownfields building more playgrounds and parks increasing public transportation and bike lanes implementing aggressive recycling enforcing green building
standards and reducing greenhouse gas emissions Two-thirds of the initial
goals have already been achieved the latest update calls for 132 initiatives
including a new set of annual milestones

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft

Welcome all to October 2012 the many wonders of fall in central Indiana and Natural Awakenings
As the keeper of the earthrsquos environment and your own personal environment you choose through your daily actions how you will affect our natural resources and those whom you encounter Your power to enact positive change is unlimited Take a minute and let those words absorb into your conscience
Now I would ask you to think for a moment about your daily routine Are you conserving or wasting When you wake in the morning and proceed through the day do you turn on only the lights you need or by habit do you turn on every light Can you perform your routine without using any power Have you ever tried
Thinking about your water consumption the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports a 5-minute shower uses as much as 25 gallons of water Most bathroom faucets flow at a rate of two gallons per minute Irsquom sometimes referred to as the water police in my home where each shower is controlled using an egg timer I do just fine with shutting off the water in between the wash and the rinse cycles Surprisingly the average person uses 100 gallons of water each day or enough to fill 1600 drinking glasses according to the EPA This is one instance where I insist on being anything but average
Traders Point Creamery had a vision about how they would positively impact the local area and this month they have shared some wonderful stories about the creation of the barns located on the farm Best of all they have been created from recycled uses Check it out on page 16
We have many more amazing articles this month and slated for the remainder of the year We are especially looking forward to unveiling our first annual Natural Directory in January 2013 This will be your go to guide for all Indiana providers offering something in the holistic natural or healthy living industry
I get chills when those calls come in from friends and neighbors excitedly spilling details and stories about the mecca of heart-centered individuals that are rapidly growing and changing the face of Indianapolis and Irsquom so proud to be part of that movement We are aligning with a greater good and molding new lives from shared and impassioned energy This is it ndash this is us ndash using our power to enact positive change I say Yes to that Can you feel it
Positively

cleaning companies recently invested more than $300000 in environmentally friendly technologies that also provide better dry cleaning for customers The development is part of its mission to be the largest ldquocompletely greenrdquo business of its kind in the area
The investment covers state-of-the-art high-capacity dry cleaning equipment plus new biodegradable and eco-safe fluids Non-toxic SystemK4 fluids replace perchlorethylene or perc that has been used at Classic Cleanersrsquo production facilities Although perc has been the industry standard of dry cleaning fluids for decades the company spent several years researching greener alternatives that also improve results The company began testing Kreusslerrsquos SystemK4 in April 2011 and completed the installation last July after concluding that it has the best cleaning capabilities of any of the green alternatives
ldquoClassic Cleaners has long been a leader in environ-mental responsibility in the [region]rdquo says Steve Arnold the companyrsquos general manager and partner ldquoEven though wersquove been recognized in past years for our environmental responsibility by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management we werenrsquot satisfied Moving to SystemK4 not only benefits our environment it also helps [us] serve our customers betterrdquo
Arnold notes that the SystemK4 solution virtually elimi-nates the gradual graying effect on clothing that is common with perc ldquoGoing green with SystemK4 lets us keep whites white and brights brightrdquo Arnold says adding that itrsquos also completely odorless and has received the highest ratings from the dermatological community so that those that might be sensitive or allergic to dry cleaning chemicals can now comfortably dry clean their garments again
Since 1995 Classic Cleaners has been honored for exceptional environmental stewardship by the Indiana De-partment of Environmental Management in its 5-Star Environ-mental Recognition Program The company supports many local nonprofit organizations including Dress for Success

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

Welcome all to October 2012 the many wonders of fall in central Indiana and Natural Awakenings
As the keeper of the earthrsquos environment and your own personal environment you choose through your daily actions how you will affect our natural resources and those whom you encounter Your power to enact positive change is unlimited Take a minute and let those words absorb into your conscience
Now I would ask you to think for a moment about your daily routine Are you conserving or wasting When you wake in the morning and proceed through the day do you turn on only the lights you need or by habit do you turn on every light Can you perform your routine without using any power Have you ever tried
Thinking about your water consumption the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports a 5-minute shower uses as much as 25 gallons of water Most bathroom faucets flow at a rate of two gallons per minute Irsquom sometimes referred to as the water police in my home where each shower is controlled using an egg timer I do just fine with shutting off the water in between the wash and the rinse cycles Surprisingly the average person uses 100 gallons of water each day or enough to fill 1600 drinking glasses according to the EPA This is one instance where I insist on being anything but average
Traders Point Creamery had a vision about how they would positively impact the local area and this month they have shared some wonderful stories about the creation of the barns located on the farm Best of all they have been created from recycled uses Check it out on page 16
We have many more amazing articles this month and slated for the remainder of the year We are especially looking forward to unveiling our first annual Natural Directory in January 2013 This will be your go to guide for all Indiana providers offering something in the holistic natural or healthy living industry
I get chills when those calls come in from friends and neighbors excitedly spilling details and stories about the mecca of heart-centered individuals that are rapidly growing and changing the face of Indianapolis and Irsquom so proud to be part of that movement We are aligning with a greater good and molding new lives from shared and impassioned energy This is it ndash this is us ndash using our power to enact positive change I say Yes to that Can you feel it
Positively

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

Welcome all to October 2012 the many wonders of fall in central Indiana and Natural Awakenings
As the keeper of the earthrsquos environment and your own personal environment you choose through your daily actions how you will affect our natural resources and those whom you encounter Your power to enact positive change is unlimited Take a minute and let those words absorb into your conscience
Now I would ask you to think for a moment about your daily routine Are you conserving or wasting When you wake in the morning and proceed through the day do you turn on only the lights you need or by habit do you turn on every light Can you perform your routine without using any power Have you ever tried
Thinking about your water consumption the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports a 5-minute shower uses as much as 25 gallons of water Most bathroom faucets flow at a rate of two gallons per minute Irsquom sometimes referred to as the water police in my home where each shower is controlled using an egg timer I do just fine with shutting off the water in between the wash and the rinse cycles Surprisingly the average person uses 100 gallons of water each day or enough to fill 1600 drinking glasses according to the EPA This is one instance where I insist on being anything but average
Traders Point Creamery had a vision about how they would positively impact the local area and this month they have shared some wonderful stories about the creation of the barns located on the farm Best of all they have been created from recycled uses Check it out on page 16
We have many more amazing articles this month and slated for the remainder of the year We are especially looking forward to unveiling our first annual Natural Directory in January 2013 This will be your go to guide for all Indiana providers offering something in the holistic natural or healthy living industry
I get chills when those calls come in from friends and neighbors excitedly spilling details and stories about the mecca of heart-centered individuals that are rapidly growing and changing the face of Indianapolis and Irsquom so proud to be part of that movement We are aligning with a greater good and molding new lives from shared and impassioned energy This is it ndash this is us ndash using our power to enact positive change I say Yes to that Can you feel it
Positively

at a presentation by Kay Grimm to the Indiana Organic Gardeners Association at 1045 am on October 20 at Fruit Loop Acres a full-circle orchard in a three-quarter-acre nature preserve on five contiguous city lots in downtown Indianapolis Grimm will speak to IOGA and the public about permaculturemdashwhich creates stable productive systems that provide for human needs in harmonious integration with the landmdashplus on beekeeping seed saving and rain collection Visitors will tour a downtown urban orchard and learn from one of the most prominent local gardeners and ask questions about their own gardens to members who have been gardening for decades
Organic growing of natural uncontaminated foods is an alternative to the toxic chemicals used in agriculture gardening and lawn care and helps protect the Earthrsquos re-sources including soils rivers and lakes that are harmed by the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides and the misuse of precious water The methods help build the structure of the soil and use nontoxic ecologically sound methods of pest disease and weed control Other techniques include composting organic fertilizers mulching planting green manure cover crops companion planting and creating an environment that attracts natural insect predators
IOGA is composed of backyard and market gardeners that use ecologically savvy methods to grow safe food and beautiful flowers trees and shrubs It meets quarterly for a homemade pitch-in lunch QampA session and tips guest speakers and a farm tour Guests are always welcome and can come to the first meeting for free Yearly memberships are $10 for an individual and $12 for a couple A quarterly newsletter is sent to all members

ldquoClassic Cleaners has long been a leader in environ-mental responsibility in the [region]rdquo says Steve Arnold the companyrsquos general manager and partner ldquoEven though wersquove been recognized in past years for our environmental responsibility by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management we werenrsquot satisfied Moving to SystemK4 not only benefits our environment it also helps [us] serve our customers betterrdquo
Arnold notes that the SystemK4 solution virtually elimi-nates the gradual graying effect on clothing that is common with perc ldquoGoing green with SystemK4 lets us keep whites white and brights brightrdquo Arnold says adding that itrsquos also completely odorless and has received the highest ratings from the dermatological community so that those that might be sensitive or allergic to dry cleaning chemicals can now comfortably dry clean their garments again

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

ClassicCleanersInvestsinGreenTechnologyforBetterDryCleaningClassic Cleaners one of Central Indianarsquos largest dry
cleaning companies recently invested more than $300000 in environmentally friendly technologies that also provide better dry cleaning for customers The development is part of its mission to be the largest ldquocompletely greenrdquo business of its kind in the area
The investment covers state-of-the-art high-capacity dry cleaning equipment plus new biodegradable and eco-safe fluids Non-toxic SystemK4 fluids replace perchlorethylene or perc that has been used at Classic Cleanersrsquo production facilities Although perc has been the industry standard of dry cleaning fluids for decades the company spent several years researching greener alternatives that also improve results The company began testing Kreusslerrsquos SystemK4 in April 2011 and completed the installation last July after concluding that it has the best cleaning capabilities of any of the green alternatives
ldquoClassic Cleaners has long been a leader in environ-mental responsibility in the [region]rdquo says Steve Arnold the companyrsquos general manager and partner ldquoEven though wersquove been recognized in past years for our environmental responsibility by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management we werenrsquot satisfied Moving to SystemK4 not only benefits our environment it also helps [us] serve our customers betterrdquo
Arnold notes that the SystemK4 solution virtually elimi-nates the gradual graying effect on clothing that is common with perc ldquoGoing green with SystemK4 lets us keep whites white and brights brightrdquo Arnold says adding that itrsquos also completely odorless and has received the highest ratings from the dermatological community so that those that might be sensitive or allergic to dry cleaning chemicals can now comfortably dry clean their garments again
Since 1995 Classic Cleaners has been honored for exceptional environmental stewardship by the Indiana De-partment of Environmental Management in its 5-Star Environ-mental Recognition Program The company supports many local nonprofit organizations including Dress for Success

breasthealthx-rayscreeningmethodQuestioned
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

ThePhthalatesndashDiabetesConnectionWhat we place on our skin might increase the
risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth

Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

cleaning companies recently invested more than $300000 in environmentally friendly technologies that also provide better dry cleaning for customers The development is part of its mission to be the largest ldquocompletely greenrdquo business of its kind in the area
The investment covers state-of-the-art high-capacity dry cleaning equipment plus new biodegradable and eco-safe fluids Non-toxic SystemK4 fluids replace perchlorethylene or perc that has been used at Classic Cleanersrsquo production facilities Although perc has been the industry standard of dry cleaning fluids for decades the company spent several years researching greener alternatives that also improve results The company began testing Kreusslerrsquos SystemK4 in April 2011 and completed the installation last July after concluding that it has the best cleaning capabilities of any of the green alternatives
ldquoClassic Cleaners has long been a leader in environ-mental responsibility in the [region]rdquo says Steve Arnold the companyrsquos general manager and partner ldquoEven though wersquove been recognized in past years for our environmental responsibility by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management we werenrsquot satisfied Moving to SystemK4 not only benefits our environment it also helps [us] serve our customers betterrdquo
Arnold notes that the SystemK4 solution virtually elimi-nates the gradual graying effect on clothing that is common with perc ldquoGoing green with SystemK4 lets us keep whites white and brights brightrdquo Arnold says adding that itrsquos also completely odorless and has received the highest ratings from the dermatological community so that those that might be sensitive or allergic to dry cleaning chemicals can now comfortably dry clean their garments again
Since 1995 Classic Cleaners has been honored for exceptional environmental stewardship by the Indiana De-partment of Environmental Management in its 5-Star Environ-mental Recognition Program The company supports many local nonprofit organizations including Dress for Success

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth

Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

ClassicCleanersInvestsinGreenTechnologyforBetterDryCleaningClassic Cleaners one of Central Indianarsquos largest dry
cleaning companies recently invested more than $300000 in environmentally friendly technologies that also provide better dry cleaning for customers The development is part of its mission to be the largest ldquocompletely greenrdquo business of its kind in the area
The investment covers state-of-the-art high-capacity dry cleaning equipment plus new biodegradable and eco-safe fluids Non-toxic SystemK4 fluids replace perchlorethylene or perc that has been used at Classic Cleanersrsquo production facilities Although perc has been the industry standard of dry cleaning fluids for decades the company spent several years researching greener alternatives that also improve results The company began testing Kreusslerrsquos SystemK4 in April 2011 and completed the installation last July after concluding that it has the best cleaning capabilities of any of the green alternatives
ldquoClassic Cleaners has long been a leader in environ-mental responsibility in the [region]rdquo says Steve Arnold the companyrsquos general manager and partner ldquoEven though wersquove been recognized in past years for our environmental responsibility by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management we werenrsquot satisfied Moving to SystemK4 not only benefits our environment it also helps [us] serve our customers betterrdquo
Arnold notes that the SystemK4 solution virtually elimi-nates the gradual graying effect on clothing that is common with perc ldquoGoing green with SystemK4 lets us keep whites white and brights brightrdquo Arnold says adding that itrsquos also completely odorless and has received the highest ratings from the dermatological community so that those that might be sensitive or allergic to dry cleaning chemicals can now comfortably dry clean their garments again
Since 1995 Classic Cleaners has been honored for exceptional environmental stewardship by the Indiana De-partment of Environmental Management in its 5-Star Environ-mental Recognition Program The company supports many local nonprofit organizations including Dress for Success

breasthealthx-rayscreeningmethodQuestioned
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

ldquoThe real action the real energy was the 21st-century aspect [of Rio+20]rdquo advises Scherr ldquoI call it the lsquonetwork worldrsquo recognizing the number of players today Itrsquos not just national governments itrsquos states and cities corporations and philanthropists In addition to the official meetings and negotiations between 3000 and 4000 other gatherings were going on between business people mayors civil society organizations and others presenting myriad opportunities to make specific commitments Wersquore moving to a different dynamicrdquo

stones unturned including cleaning up brownfields building more playgrounds and parks increasing public transportation and bike lanes implementing aggressive recycling enforcing green building
standards and reducing greenhouse gas emissions Two-thirds of the initial
goals have already been achieved the latest update calls for 132 initiatives
including a new set of annual milestones

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

ClassicCleanersInvestsinGreenTechnologyforBetterDryCleaningClassic Cleaners one of Central Indianarsquos largest dry
cleaning companies recently invested more than $300000 in environmentally friendly technologies that also provide better dry cleaning for customers The development is part of its mission to be the largest ldquocompletely greenrdquo business of its kind in the area
The investment covers state-of-the-art high-capacity dry cleaning equipment plus new biodegradable and eco-safe fluids Non-toxic SystemK4 fluids replace perchlorethylene or perc that has been used at Classic Cleanersrsquo production facilities Although perc has been the industry standard of dry cleaning fluids for decades the company spent several years researching greener alternatives that also improve results The company began testing Kreusslerrsquos SystemK4 in April 2011 and completed the installation last July after concluding that it has the best cleaning capabilities of any of the green alternatives
ldquoClassic Cleaners has long been a leader in environ-mental responsibility in the [region]rdquo says Steve Arnold the companyrsquos general manager and partner ldquoEven though wersquove been recognized in past years for our environmental responsibility by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management we werenrsquot satisfied Moving to SystemK4 not only benefits our environment it also helps [us] serve our customers betterrdquo
Arnold notes that the SystemK4 solution virtually elimi-nates the gradual graying effect on clothing that is common with perc ldquoGoing green with SystemK4 lets us keep whites white and brights brightrdquo Arnold says adding that itrsquos also completely odorless and has received the highest ratings from the dermatological community so that those that might be sensitive or allergic to dry cleaning chemicals can now comfortably dry clean their garments again
Since 1995 Classic Cleaners has been honored for exceptional environmental stewardship by the Indiana De-partment of Environmental Management in its 5-Star Environ-mental Recognition Program The company supports many local nonprofit organizations including Dress for Success

breasthealthx-rayscreeningmethodQuestioned
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

ThePhthalatesndashDiabetesConnectionWhat we place on our skin might increase the
risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth

Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

breasthealthx-rayscreeningmethodQuestioned
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

ThePhthalatesndashDiabetesConnectionWhat we place on our skin might increase the
risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

better managing waste ldquoThe huge public engagement in the conference is excitingrdquo says Pascale ldquobecause thatrsquos really how progress will happen People have to force their governments to take actionrdquo The NRDC dedicated website is part of a coordinated effort to hold governments businesses and nonprofits accountable and inform the public The new UN websites facilitate a thriving discussion of what sustainability means and how it can be put into practice ldquoWe want to continue the overall campaign and build upon itrdquo says Pascale ldquoWhatever frustrations people have with businesses nongovernment organizations (NGO) or governments we need to harness that energy and keep that dialogue going to give people a voice in making sustainability happenrdquo

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth

ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

New moms that are breastfeeding should abstain from caffeine
according to an interview with Dr Ruth Lawrence published in the Journal of Caffeine Research a peer-reviewed publication Lawrence says that because infants are not able to metabolize or excrete caffeine efficiently a breastfeeding motherrsquos consumption of the drug may lead to caffeine accumulation and symptoms such as wakefulness and irritability in her baby
breasthealthx-rayscreeningmethodQuestioned
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and thousands of well-meaning healthcare
providers will continue to recommend mammograms However a growing body of research suggests that X-ray mammography may not be the best screening approach at least on an annual basis and even the National Cancer Institute notes potential harms ranging from false results to overtreatment and radiation exposure
A 2006 study published in the British Journal of Radiobiology revealed that the type of radiation used in X-ray-based screenings is more carcinogenic than previously believed The researchers wrote ldquoRecent radiobiological studies have provided compelling
evidence that the low-energy X-rays used in mammography are approximately four timesmdashbut possibly as much as six timesmdashmore likely to cause mutational damage than higher energy X-raysrdquo Peter Goslashtzsche is director of the Nordic Cochrane Centre and an author of the landmark 2001 Cochrane systematic review Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography which concludes ldquoCurrently available reliable evidence has not shown a survival benefit of mass screening for breast cancerrdquo In 2011 Goslashtzsche stated ldquoIt is getting more and more difficult to argue that mammography is reasonable to [use] for breast screeningrdquo

ThePhthalatesndashDiabetesConnectionWhat we place on our skin might increase the
risk for diabetes based on findings by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden They noted a connection between phthalates found in cosmetics and plastics and the risk of seniors developing diabetes even a modest increase in circulating blood levels of such chemicals doubled their risk Monica Lind associate professor of environmental medicine at the Section for Occupational and Environmental Medicine and Dr Lars Lind professor of medicine analyzed new information from a study that involved more than 1000 70-year-old men and women in Uppsala The participants submitted blood samples for analysis of various environmental toxins including several substances formed when the body breaks down phthalates Even after adjusting for obesity blood lipids smoking and exercise habits the researchers saw a definite connection between blood levels of some of the phthalates and an increased prevalence of diabetes The Linds also found that certain phthalates were associated with disrupted insulin production in the pancreas Most people come into daily contact with phthalates These chemicals are commonly used as softening agents in plastics and as carriers of fragrances in cosmetics personal care products air fresheners and scented candles

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

better managing waste ldquoThe huge public engagement in the conference is excitingrdquo says Pascale ldquobecause thatrsquos really how progress will happen People have to force their governments to take actionrdquo The NRDC dedicated website is part of a coordinated effort to hold governments businesses and nonprofits accountable and inform the public The new UN websites facilitate a thriving discussion of what sustainability means and how it can be put into practice ldquoWe want to continue the overall campaign and build upon itrdquo says Pascale ldquoWhatever frustrations people have with businesses nongovernment organizations (NGO) or governments we need to harness that energy and keep that dialogue going to give people a voice in making sustainability happenrdquo

stones unturned including cleaning up brownfields building more playgrounds and parks increasing public transportation and bike lanes implementing aggressive recycling enforcing green building
standards and reducing greenhouse gas emissions Two-thirds of the initial
goals have already been achieved the latest update calls for 132 initiatives
including a new set of annual milestones

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

October24isAcupunctureampOrientalMedicineDay
The popularity of acupuncture in the United States is increasing steadily
according to a study of Americansrsquo use of the ancient Chinese energy-balancing technique published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Researchers found that in 2007 6 percent of adult Americans included acupuncture as part of their regular health care regimen up 42 percent from 2002 (at
that time the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine also reported that 60 percent of adults surveyed considered acupuncture as a treatment option) Most commonly used for pain relief acupuncture is based on the theory that needle stimulation of specific points on the bodyrsquos energy channels called meridians corrects imbalances and helps restore health Some Western experts believe that the needles stimulate pain-sensing nerves which trigger the brain to release endorphins the bodyrsquos pain-relieving chemicals Former President Richard Nixon is generally credited with popularizing acupuncture in the West after he toured medical facilities during his visit to China in 1972 New York Times reporter James Reston who was traveling with Nixon and underwent an emergency appendectomy during the trip wrote extensively about the post-operative pain relief he experienced

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

ldquoThe real action the real energy was the 21st-century aspect [of Rio+20]rdquo advises Scherr ldquoI call it the lsquonetwork worldrsquo recognizing the number of players today Itrsquos not just national governments itrsquos states and cities corporations and philanthropists In addition to the official meetings and negotiations between 3000 and 4000 other gatherings were going on between business people mayors civil society organizations and others presenting myriad opportunities to make specific commitments Wersquore moving to a different dynamicrdquo

stones unturned including cleaning up brownfields building more playgrounds and parks increasing public transportation and bike lanes implementing aggressive recycling enforcing green building
standards and reducing greenhouse gas emissions Two-thirds of the initial
goals have already been achieved the latest update calls for 132 initiatives
including a new set of annual milestones

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

harmonious relationship between the natural and human worlds that the farm seeks to sustain This same vision for holistic integration inspired the creation of the Loft Restaurant an on-site farm-to-table restaurant The barn setting lends both elegance and authenticity to complement the seasonal organic food and artisan homemade ice cream treats from the dairy bar Guests enjoy the soaring ceiling timbers and the view of the creameryrsquos cheese cave while dining in a space shared with all those Hoosiers who have used the barn for more than a century
Why go to such great lengths of effort and expense to populate a farm with antique barns one might wonder Repurposing barns is one piece of their total vision for environmental and health consciousness It is the same reason why they use organic farming methods feed their cows solely on grass and package all their dairy products in glass For the Kunzrsquos it is also a matter of choosing what is timeless over what is merely temporary choosing what is grounded in a real place rather than what could be found on land anywhere in the country and choosing what preserves the ldquowork of mankindrdquo to unite it with the work of nature In the process they are proving that repurposing can be sustainable and beautiful at any size

If This Wood Could Speakthehistoryinbuildingtraderspointcreamery

The third barn known simply as the big Red Barn is a German heritage-style bank barn with two levels that allowed for animals to be kept below and for hay to be threshed and stored above Today it has been repurposed into an exclusive event venue used for weddings private parties and other special events In a modern twist on its historic dual purpose the lower level houses the milking herd during the winter and the upper level offers a rustic space for unique gatherings under vaulted wooden ceilings In addition the farmrsquos weekly winter Green Market and annual Oktoberfest and Christmas on the Farm festivals allow thousands of community members to enjoy the Red Barn as well as the rest of the farm
The busiest of the four antique barns houses the Loft Restaurant the creameryrsquos cheese production and the Farm Store that sells award-winning organic 100 grassfed milks and yogurts It is an 1860s structure from Bluffton Indiana near the Wabash River The hand-hewn beams recall the days before sawmills when even the wooden pegs were carved by hand When the dismantled barn came to Traders Point Creamery the Kunzrsquos relied on Jim Kienle a historic preservation architect to fit its rotation and placement to the natural shape of the land Kienle was integral to the design and reconstruction of all the barns on the property By organically melding the structure and the landscape Kienle and the Kunzrsquos were able to mimic the
Reusing discarded items tends to call to mind milk bottle flower vases or old rubber tire swings but
sometimes repurposing used materials looks a lot bigger For Dr Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz it looks like sixty foot wooden timbers and over 100 years of history
The Kunzrsquos are the owners of Traders Point Creamery an organic dairy farm and artisan creamery located in Zionsville Indiana Amidst the rolling hills of the 100 acre farm rest four antique barns each of them with stories as unique as the wood grains in their hand-hewn timbers Though their current use may be quite different from its original purpose during the 19th century their structures remain faithful to their original appearance having been carefully transported and meticulously reconstructed under the guidance of Amos Schwartz a master craftsman from Berne IN who specializes in antique barn reconstruction
The first barn to be brought to the property was a former stallion barn with beautiful sixty foot cherry timbers it is now used as the farmrsquos equipment barn with a long rocking-chair porch that overlooks the farm pond
The Kunzrsquos also secured two ldquosisterrdquo barns from a property in Geneva Indiana that date to the 1870s One originally a pig sty was reworked into a tandem-style milking parlor Here the farmers milk fifty to sixty Brown Swiss cows twice a day

The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

ldquoThe real action the real energy was the 21st-century aspect [of Rio+20]rdquo advises Scherr ldquoI call it the lsquonetwork worldrsquo recognizing the number of players today Itrsquos not just national governments itrsquos states and cities corporations and philanthropists In addition to the official meetings and negotiations between 3000 and 4000 other gatherings were going on between business people mayors civil society organizations and others presenting myriad opportunities to make specific commitments Wersquore moving to a different dynamicrdquo

stones unturned including cleaning up brownfields building more playgrounds and parks increasing public transportation and bike lanes implementing aggressive recycling enforcing green building
standards and reducing greenhouse gas emissions Two-thirds of the initial
goals have already been achieved the latest update calls for 132 initiatives
including a new set of annual milestones

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

ldquoWe donrsquot need another plan of action or more treaties what we need are people that will begin to implement the commitments and meet
the goals that have already been created and establishedrdquo explains Jacob Scherr director of global strategy and advocacy for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) about the new thinking that drove this yearrsquos Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
The June conference brought together international heads of state business leaders nonprofits and activists to prioritize and strategize sustainable development Unlike the United Nationsrsquo annual climate change conferences which led to the Kyoto Protocol in 1997mdasha legally binding treaty that set targets for greenhouse gas emissions the United States refused to signmdashthe United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development is held once every 20 years The theme of Rio+20 was simple and direct The Future We Want Moving away from political posturing and endless negotiating the meet-up asked businesses governments and charities to publicly declare their specific commitments and solicited the publicrsquos ideas for realizing sustainability all aligned with the priorities and opportunities of the 21st century ldquoWith growing populations depleting resources how do we keep increasing and ensuring prosperity while we are already using more than we haverdquo queries UN spokeswoman Pragati Pascale ldquoItrsquos a conundrumrdquo Sustainable development as defined by the UN includes fighting poverty social inclusion (including advancing the status of women) and protecting the environment Building a sustainable future for the planet say those involved means addressing all three simultaneously It demands the kind of real immediate action so evident at Rio+20
Real ResultsBy the end of the Rio conference more than 700 voluntarily secured commitments valued at more than half a trillion dollars were earmarked to address everything from protecting forests and reducing ocean pollution to building rapid transit bus systems and increasing the number of women entrepreneurs in the green economy The NRDC launched CloudOfCommitmentsorg to track and publicize new pledges and make them easily searchable by region or category Some commitments are breathtaking in scope

deforestation in their supply chains by 2020
ldquoThe real action the real energy was the 21st-century aspect [of Rio+20]rdquo advises Scherr ldquoI call it the lsquonetwork worldrsquo recognizing the number of players today Itrsquos not just national governments itrsquos states and cities corporations and philanthropists In addition to the official meetings and negotiations between 3000 and 4000 other gatherings were going on between business people mayors civil society organizations and others presenting myriad opportunities to make specific commitments Wersquore moving to a different dynamicrdquo
Sowing SeedsThe inclusive atmosphere is reflected in another new UN-sponsored international sharing website FutureWeWantorg featuring visions and videos relating to sustainability a n d s o l u t i o n s t o dire environmental p r o b l e m s s u c h a s t u rn ing g l oba l w a r m i n g - i n d u c i n g methane from Chinarsquos farms into a usable energy source predicting periods of drought in Ethiopia to prevent humanitarian crises and investing in solar power to bring electricity to 14 billion people around the world More than 50 million people worldwide have submitted ideas for a more sustainable world ranging from ways to increase public education to plans f o r s t o p p i n g i n d u s t r i a l pol lut ion and
better managing waste ldquoThe huge public engagement in the conference is excitingrdquo says Pascale ldquobecause thatrsquos really how progress will happen People have to force their governments to take actionrdquo The NRDC dedicated website is part of a coordinated effort to hold governments businesses and nonprofits accountable and inform the public The new UN websites facilitate a thriving discussion of what sustainability means and how it can be put into practice ldquoWe want to continue the overall campaign and build upon itrdquo says Pascale ldquoWhatever frustrations people have with businesses nongovernment organizations (NGO) or governments we need to harness that energy and keep that dialogue going to give people a voice in making sustainability happenrdquo
Results-OrientedRole ModelsState-based examples of sustainable development in action speak to widespread needs in the United States Here are examples of five models worth replicating
PlaNYC New York City Mayor Michael Bloombergrsquos announcement of PlaNYC on Earth Day 2007 signaled an historic moment The peoplersquos vision of a cleaner healthier New York City one
that could accommodate 9 million predicted residents by 2030
aims to be a model for urban sustainable development Its original 127 initiatives leave few sustainability
stones unturned including cleaning up brownfields building more playgrounds and parks increasing public transportation and bike lanes implementing aggressive recycling enforcing green building
standards and reducing greenhouse gas emissions Two-thirds of the initial
goals have already been achieved the latest update calls for 132 initiatives
including a new set of annual milestones

Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

Doctoroff the former deputy mayor of economic development and rebuilding for the Bloomberg administration called PlaNYC ldquoone of the most sweeping most comprehensive blueprints for New York ever undertakenrdquo Most critically all of its stated commitments are achievable (see TinyurlcomPlaNYC-goals)
Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

Doctoroff the former deputy mayor of economic development and rebuilding for the Bloomberg administration called PlaNYC ldquoone of the most sweeping most comprehensive blueprints for New York ever undertakenrdquo Most critically all of its stated commitments are achievable (see TinyurlcomPlaNYC-goals)
Evergreen Cooperative Initiative (ECI) Businesses and community groups in Cleveland Ohio determined that they needed to solve the problem of joblessness in low-income areas by creating living-wage jobs and then training eligible residents to fill them They developed a new cooperative-based economic model based on green jobs that can inspire other cities with similar economic woes The ECI is a community undertaking in which anchor institutions like the Cleveland Foundation University Hospitals and the municipal government leverage their purchasing power to help create green-focused employee-owned local businesses which to date include a green laundromat the hydroponic greenhouse Green City Growers and Ohio Cooperative Solar which provides weatherization and installs and maintains solar panels The solar cooperative will more than double Ohiorsquos solar generating capacity from 2011 levels by the end of 2012 (see EvergreenCooperativescom)

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass
and methane capture A condition of the loan is that a project must employ 75 percent of its workforce from New Jersey or commit to growing 10 high-paying jobs (minimum $75000 annually) over two years (see TinyurlcomNewJersey-EDA)

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

Renewable Portfol io Standard Texas leads the country in electricity generated from wind power One complex in Roscoe features 627 turbines on 100000 acres that cost $1 billion to build Much of the rapid growth of the statersquos wind industry can be credited to Texasrsquo Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation passed in 1999 that mandated construction of renewable energy including solar geothermal hydroelectric biomass and landfill gas in addition to wind It further mandated that utilities generate 2000 megawatts of additional
renewable energy by 2009 then 5880 MW by 2015 and 10000 MW by 2025 The 10-year goal was met in six years and Texas has added many green jobs increased tax revenues and provided security against blackouts which is critical in the event of extreme heat or drought (see TinyurlcomTexasStandard)
Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund Clean technology is booming despite the economic recession and attracting serious investment funds According to a report by Clean Edge Inc venture capital investments in clean technologies increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2011 from $51 billion to $66 billion New Jersey entrepreneurs are upping their statersquos potential in this arena with the Edison Innovation Green Growth Fund The program proffers loans of up to $2 million for companies research facilities and nonprofits engaged in producing clean energy technologies ranging from energy efficiency products such as LED lighting to solar wind tidal biomass

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

Ayurvedic healthcare is like gardening If you spend time in the garden your harvest will be
vibrant If you donrsquot spend time in the garden weeds and climatic forces will take their toll Ayurveda is about paying attention ldquo says Pierre Couvillion master yoga teacher ayurvedic practitioner and founder of Santosha School in Indianapolis
When we become separate from the rhythms of the earth we lose connection with our innate wisdom and with a deeper understanding of our physical emotional and spiritual nature When separated from this awareness we suffer the health effects of stress physically and psychologically The teachings of yoga and Ayurveda emphasize the importance of balance in diet exercise interpersonal communication and with the environment Humans are microcosmic representations of the greater universe and health is the natural benefit of living in harmony with the Earth
5 Simple Practices to Nourish Your Health and Green Your Footprint
Celebrate SunriseHello Sunshine Begin the morning with gratitude for the gift of a new day Imagine an opportunity to start fresh without carrying forward the baggage of the past and without worry about the future Trust that this day will bring precisely the experience that is needed Create a vital supple body and calm mind with daily yoga asana (physical postures) breath work (pranayama) and meditation
ldquoSun Salu ta t ions br ing you skillfulness for moving your breath and energy Theyrsquoll warm up your muscles and lubricate the joints The flow of oxygen and blood to your brain nourishes it relaxes it and calms down the mindrsquos chatteringrdquo ndash Ana T Forrest Fierce Medicine Breakthrough Practices to Heal the Body and Ignite the Spirit
Natural Oils Nourish the SkinAbyhanga ayurvedic self oil massage is a simple and supportive practice that brings vitality to the skin calm to the nervous system and helps clear toxins from the lymphatics Using food grade oils such as sesame or coconut oil massage to the skin and scalp brings a healthy glow without exposing the body to petrol chemicals found in most commercial lotions
Consider the Benefits of a Local Seasonal Plant based DietldquoEating a vegetarian diet walking (exercising) everyday and meditating is considered radical Allowing someone to slice your chest open and graft your leg veins in your heart is considered normal and conservativerdquondash Dean Ornish MD founder of Preventive Medicine Research Institute
Plant based food crops require less carbon energy to produce and leave less waste to be managed than animal sourced foods Eating a vegetarian diet rich in minimally processed fruits nuts legumes grains and vegetables provides dense nutrient value and is proven to support cardiovascular health and reduce cancer risk Locally sourced food reduces need for chemical preservatives and minimizes the energy costs of transport over great distances
Embrace ModerationAsteya or non-stealing is a core principal of yogic philosophy Use only what is needed and avoid lsquostealingrsquo thru wastefulness Create sustainable community connections through sharing of abundance
Play in the River and Learn about the MoonAwareness of the rhythms of nature enhances our understanding of the cycles and patterns of the human experience Take time to observe and care for the rivers that bring vital water to our communities Our bodies are made largely of water and like the tides are influenced by the gravitational forces of the moon Awareness of the moon cycle is a practice that promotes a felt sense experience of the subtle nature of human experience

a Prescription for Vibrant Health byanncollinsmdryt
22 IndianapolisCrossroads of America wwwNACrossroadscom
Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side

Ancient India and Egypt are known to have served up plant-based diets but vegetarian
cookbooks are a relatively recent American phenomenon The genre debuted nationally in 1977 wi th Mol l ie Ka tzenrsquos groundbreaking classic the first Moosewood Cookbook sharing recipes gleaned from her restaurant and a collective co-op in Ithaca New York Considered one of Five Women Who Changed the Way We Eat by Health magazine she has also hosted several PBS cooking shows When Katzen first took up the cause vegetarian cooking was earnest if earthy relying heavily upon such staples as brown rice mushrooms and tofu The options were limited for those that didnrsquot capitalize on a home garden
or live in a cosmopolitan city Growing up in Louisville Kentucky in the 1970s cookbook author and food blogger Michael Natkin remembershellipldquowhen vegetables were boiled until they begged for mercyrdquo Being a vegetarian then meant a commitment to a philosophy not necessarily an expectation of flavor and pleasure In 1981 an Indian actress and cookbook author introduced Americans to exotic vegetarian dishes from India in Madhur Jaffreyrsquos World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Still without an Asian market nearby hard-to-find ingredients like dhal (a lentil) or fenugreek (a seed) might have derailed attempts to make such recipes By 1990 Chef Deborah Madison had contributed The Savory Way which upped the quotient of colorful foods
consciouseating inspired by classic French cuisine She revealed how plant-based dishes can be sophisticated and even glamorous Todayrsquos latest cookbook evolution speaks to the newest generation of vegetarian cooksrsquo burgeoning interest in tasty ethnic cuisines home gardening and farmersrsquo markets as well as meatless meals Natkin has pulled it all together in Herbivoracious A Flavor Revolution with 150 Vibrant and Original Vegetarian Recipes From the standpoint of a well-traveled home cook he also chronicles his travels and forays into flavorful globally influenced recipes at Herbivoraciouscom
Why Vegetarian Why NowldquoBecause vegetarian meals are good for you tread more lightly on our planetrsquos resources and are kinder to animalsrdquo Natkin responds ldquoThe planet isnrsquot designed to support billions of meat-eaters Plus many are concerned about the methods of animal agriculturemdashthink of industrial hog farms for instance which can be environmental nightmares If you want to eat meat from smaller producers with higher ethical standards itrsquos more expensiverdquo he says ldquoEven if you eat meatless only now and again itrsquos better for the family budget your health and the planetrdquo Natkin is well aware of the ldquodark days for vegetablesrdquo when commerce dictated that varieties be chosen and grown primarily for their ability to withstand long-distance transport Now due to rising demand more are grown for flavor advises Natkin and that makes vegetarian meals taste better and become more popular Natkin further suggests ldquoIf you want a sustainable diet it must include foods that you like not foods that you think you should like They have to taste good otherwise you wonrsquot stick with itrdquo Natkinrsquos cookbook encompasses dishes from locales as diverse as India Iran Japan Mexico and Thailand His special touch is conceiving ways to convert traditional recipes to vegetarian variations while maintaining unique flavors and combinations of textures From a deconstructed sushi to tofu tacos Natkin coaxes the most flavor out

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo
Judith Fertig blogs at AlfrescoFoodAndLifestyleblogspotcom
Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous

of his ingredientsmdashfrom cooking pasta in red wine making ldquomeatyrdquo soup stocks with dried mushrooms or Parmesan cheese rinds to teaching uses of condiments like Japanese sesame salt ldquoThe least successful cuisine for translation into vegetarian cooking is American comfort foodrdquo he notes He always encourages cooks to think creatively not literally when translating a meat-based dish to a plant-based equivalent Instead of trying to do a faux turkey for Thanksgiving for example he recommends serving a main dish that looks celebratory and mouthwatering saluting the traditional role of the centerpiece turkey in a fresh way
Growing TrendAccording to a national 2012 Harris Poll 47 percent of Americans eat at least one vegetarian meal a week The Values Institute of DGWB an advertising and communications firm based in Santa Ana California confirms the rise of flexitarianism or eating meat on occasion rather than routinely as one of the top trends of 2012 Finally New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman remarks ldquoWhen I ask audiences I speak to lsquoHow many of you are eating less meat than you were 10 years agorsquo at least two-thirds raise their hands A self-selecting group to be sure but nevertheless one that exists In fact letrsquos ask this Is anyone in this country eating more meat than they used tordquo

Vegan and gluten-free dish in 30 minutes
Makes 12 small or 8 medium-size tacos
ldquoThe secret to delicious Mexican vegetarian food is to amp up the flavors and use lots of contrasting texturesrdquo says food blogger Michael Natkin ldquoThese tacosmdashfilled with grilled tofu and sauteacuteed peppers all basted with tangy achiote pastemdashhave serious street-food flavor They are meant to be eaten in just two or three bitesrdquo
Achiote made from annatto seeds is available as a paste at markets that carry Hispanic products Natkin likes the El Yucateco brand because itrsquos free of synthetic food coloring
Fillings1frac12 oz (about 4 tsp) achiote paste (also called annatto)frac12 cup vegetable oil1 tsp ground cumin2 tsp Tapatiacuteo or other bottled hot sauce1 tsp kosher salt10 oz extra-firm tofu cut into 13-inch slabs and patted dry1 medium zucchini cut lengthwise into 13-inch slabs1 medium onion thinly sliced4 garlic cloves thinly sliced2 red bell peppers cut into frac14-inch strips1 yellow bell pepper cut into frac14-inch stripsFresh lemon or lime juice (optional)
Shells24 (4-inch) or 16 (6-inch) soft corn tortillas
Taco ToppersGuacamole Choice of salsa
1 Break up the achiote paste in a small bowl with a fork and mash in the oil a little at a time until it forms a lumpy paste Mix in the cumin hot sauce and salt
2 Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat Brush the tofu with the achiote oil on one side and grill oiled-side-down until well-marked Then do the same on the other side
3 Repeat with the zucchini brushing the slabs with achiote oil and grilling until well-marked and tender about 3 minutes per side Allow the tofu and zucchini to cool and then cut both into 13-inch diced pieces
4 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat Add 2 tablespoons of achiote oil Add the onion garlic and bell peppers and sauteacute until very soft
5 Add the tofu and zucchini to the pepper mixture Taste and adjust the seasoning It may need more salt a little lime or lemon juice or more heat
6 To serve wrap the tortillas in a damp clean dishtowel and microwave until soft and warm about 2 minutes
7 Make stacks of 2 tortillas each Top with a moderate scoop of the filling and a spoonful of guacamole and salsa Pass the hot sauce to the more adventurous
