The Forest Is Going Green!

More organizations, companies, businesses, schools, and other groups are beginning to think about their impact on the environment and are starting to take action towards becoming more sustainable. The Forest neighborhood would like to join these groups in an effort to make our community more environmentally responsible and to lessen our negative impact on our planet. This website will serve as a resource for green ideas and tips and as a center for communication among the Forest neighbors about how we, as individuals and as a community, can take steps to become more sustainable.

The Gorgeously Green Diet

My mom recently gave me a book called The Gorgeously Green Diet, which I absolutely love. It's a quick and easy read but it'll change your life! Authored by expert greenie Sophie Uliano, The Gorgeously Green Diet explains how to lessen your impact on the planet, save money, and stay healthy and thin. Uliano makes it easy to shrink "your waist and your waste" inexpensively. She offers three diet plans for everyone from guilt-ridden Hummer drivers who want to change their ways to organic cotton-sporting vegans who'd like to reduce their footprint even more. Though the book seems short, it covers so many important topics, and addresses not just how to eat better but why doing so is healthier for you and for the environment. This book is about more than just a diet; it's about a gradual and comfortable change in lifestyle that will help you and future generations be happier and healthier. Uliano even proves that buying organic can actually be cheaper than buying non-organic foods! The book also includes many recipes, countless product recommendations, and aerobic, flexibility, and strength exercises. I recommend The Gorgeously Green Diet 100%!

Check out Sophie Uliano's website, www.gorgeouslygreen.com, for more information about the book, the diet, and the lifestyle. You can even watch videos of Sophie's appearances on Oprah, The View, Good Morning America, etc.
