Food for Thought and Action: A Food Sovereignty Curriculum is a remarkably useful popular education tool. It offers a practical way to strengthen a growing food sovereignty movement that includes consumers, farmers, environmentalists and faith communities. Building from the experiences of literally millions of grassroots activists world-wide, Food for Thought and Action challenges us to fix our broken food system. – Michael Pollan, Author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and The Botany of Desire It's been said that "you are what you eat." In the face of a global food crisis, it's clear that we've been forced to swallow far more than what's on our plates.

The Green Life: Tips for living well and doing good from Sierra magazine
Henry Sanchez Pardo arrived in Los Angeles late last year with no belongings, no shoes, and few connections. Coming from Colombia, he barely spoke English. Somehow, he struck up a relationship with the HR department of a large Hispanic department store, not because he was looking for a job, or even because he wanted to stay in LA. Pardo was trying to run barefoot to Anchorage, Alaska, and he needed some help. Pardo's journey began in 2008, when he left his family and teaching job in Bogota, en route to Patagonia where he would begin his run. The idea hatched as a way of spreading environmental awareness in the Americas, but along the way, Pardo began helping to plant trees (by working with the Arbor Day Foundation, CONAFOR, and Urban Corps he says he has helped plant over 7 million) and became a full-fledged marathoner, participating in events all over South America.Healthy Schools Campaign
by Brittany Wright, HSC media and outreach specialist After hearing school nurse Ponzella Johnson sing the song she uses to energize her 400 students, I knew that she was an extraordinary woman. This weekend, Johnson will celebrate her nine year career serving as a champion for wellness. The New York native and school nurse at Harriet Tubman Learning Center has a well-rounded background in the fields of psychology and women’s health that she developed before bringing her expertise to schools as a nurse. Her biggest inspiration for transitioning to school nursing was starting a family. When her son was born, she looked ahead and knew that she wanted to be able to enjoy quality time with him and that school nursing would allow her to share the same time out of school.
