Enter Project Green 2012

Another combo that tickles my fancy – film production and sustainable living. NOMAD Films started a sustainable filmmaking initiative. What better way to spread the message. Or wait, are you busy watching someone choose a husband on TV?? Nooooooo!!!! 
It’s not just stories on film that bring environmental issues to light, it’s making the film with sustainable production practices. I’ve seen countless ways in which film production is wasteful. We accumulate a lot of things in a short period of time and then want to get rid of them even faster at wrap. The paper alone must be a forest. We all do our best, but there can be limitations. If there were easily implemented sustainable production practices I would hope they’d catch on. But honestly easy is the key because people don’t want to take extra steps and time is money, especially on a movie set. Anyhow, check out Project Green 2012 and submit your proposal. Make your next short film, commercial, YouTube video, or whatever it may be, a sustainably made project!

Where To Eat Out For Meatless Monday
Posted on January 23rd, 2012 by jourdan
I am completely addicted to to Sun Cafe in Studio City. It is a raw and vegan restaurant and I don’t know how they do what they do, but it is unreal. I can’t keep my hands off of all things kale there. The kale shake is so good it’s indecent and the kale colossus salad, no words, just inappropriate enjoyment sounds. Even if you are not a vegetarian or a vegan you MUST try this place. I have turned several carnivore friends onto it and they can’t stop going now. I’m sorry if you don’t have an amazing vegetarian restaurant in your area. You might even want to plan a trip to LA just for this place though. Not kidding, it’s that good! In the meantime, do your best for Meatless Monday. There are tons of delicious non-meaty things out there!

Meatless Monday Giveaway!
Posted on January 2nd, 2012 by jourdan
Happy New Year and Happy Meatless Monday! If you are one for making new years resolutions, give Meatless Mondays a try. I’ll keep the focus on our health. Cutting back on animal products and adopting more plant based foods into your diet can reduce your risk for many diseases such as cancer and heart disease. I’ve even read about people reversing their diabetes by changing to a plant based diet. Or maybe you’re just interested in losing a few pounds in the new year. This is a good way to help with that too.
To help you on this health journey I am giving away one copy of a great book I’ve just read, Healthy Eating Healthy World by J. Morris Hicks. You will learn how your diet effects your health and how you can take action to get healthy and stay healthy. It’s time to take responsibility over our own health.
How do you win you ask. Leave a comment with one of your new year’s resolutions by Saturday the 7th and you’ll be in the drawing! Easy as pie. Start the new year off right!
