Super successful screening of "FRESH" film!!! Thanks for comin out!

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for coming out to our "Fresh" screenings!

We had a screening at the Village tonight.....

It was held at the top floor of the Tower (bldg. 1). So we got to catch an epic sunset!Students from all over campus came out to enjoy this fantastic film, the food that Dining provided, and a chance to mingle with other attendees. : )
The attendees got to check out the EcoNaut's extensive spread of informative posters on our eco-initiatives, sign up to "pledge for the planet", preview our Rush EKO shirts, pick up a "Farm 2 U" farmer's market flyer, and look at a list of San Diego restaurants that incorporate sustainable ingredients in their dishes.
Thanks again to the group of 25 strong that came to the 5:30pm screening, and the handful of students that made it to the second round at 7pm!!

The chance to talk about the film with students was great, and I hope you guys took something away from the experience. : )

Keep inspiring others...

Study Snacks

Hello all!

We hope this week is going smoothly for you... with finals coming up and all. I recommend a nice treat to make the day better and studying more pleasant (yes, it is possible). I suggest a nice snack and beverage to go along with it. My favorite snack is a vegan cookie made by Alternative Baking Company that can be purchased from markets like Earl's Place. I really enjoy Explosive Espresso Chip Cookie.. sounds amazing right? Look at a photo:

To down the cookie down, I suggest a delicious beverage called kombucha. G.T.'s Kombucha sold on campus is a living culture of beneficial microorganisms.. Check out Hilary's blog post "Kombucha!" for more information about this fabulous body fuel. Check out a photo of one of my favorite types of Kombucha:

Another fabulous beverage you can enjoy purchasing and consuming from market places on campus is fair trade tea!

When you buy Fair Trade, you participate in a social movement that empowers hard working people in developing countries who dedicate their lives to filling sweetening your tea, brewing your coffee, and keeping you caffeinated for your all nighters.

Dining Services is committed to supporting Fair Trade. Beginning in June 2009, all HDH dining locations started offering Fair Trade coffee, tea and sugar exclusively. There are also Fair Trade choices of ice cream and chocolate.

What does Fair Trade mean?

• Paying farmers a living wage for their harvest.
• Creating direct trade links to farmers and their cooperatives.
• Providing access to affordable credit, helping farmers stay out of debt to local middlemen.
• Promoting sustainable practices such as organic and shade-grown farming, that help protect the environment.
• Fair Trade coffee comes from farmers who have been certified and receive a minimum price for their harvest.

Happy days,
