In an age of plastic-wrapped produce shipped in from halfway around the world, toxic chemicals commonplace in our food supply, and widespread human rights abuses in corporately owned farms, few choices have as much impact as where we shop for food. Buying locally - farmers markets, community gardens, etc. - strengthens communities, protects the environment, and helps to make this a world worth living in.

Aerobics Flash Mobs Energize Colorado
Seemingly spontaneous aerobics astounded lunch-goers across Colorado on Wednesday, September 30, when flash mobs broke out at 12:10 p.m. on the streets of Denver, Greeley and Grand Junction. More than 100 flash mobbers exercised their enthusiasm for healthy eating and active living in each city when they suddenly disrobed to display retro, 1980’s-inspired workout gear and performed a coordinated aerobics routine. LiveWell Colorado (http://www.livewellcolorado.org), a non-profit organization committed to reducing obesity by inspiring healthy eating and active living, coordinated the flash mobs to ignite enthusiasm for the launch of its statewide “Challenge,” campaign which encourages Coloradoans to challenge each other and their communities to live well.

Washington: Dennis Molino, Age 20
Dennis Molino is a 20 year old living in Seattle, WA. After losing his parents to addiction and violence, he bounced around the foster care system before being "aged out" when he turned 18. As recently as a month ago, Molino was living on the streets, sleeping in cars, on couches, and anywhere else he could find warmth and shelter. Thanks to help from the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, he is now living at their local youth home, where he participates in educational and employment workshops. Molino has a job at a local fast-food restaurant, and plans to get his G.E.D. and pursue a future in culinary arts.
