Be an Organic Maverick
Date: November 7, 2008 | Category: Events, Food & Drink, Lifestyle
There is a revolution brewing. It is bubbling in that pot you have simmering on the stove and gaining steam inside your grocery bag. If you live in or near the Big Apple, now is your chance to become a warrior in the revolution towards organics.
On November 11th, The Organic Center and Rodale Institute will present Ripe for Revolution at the Chelsea Art Museum, located at 556 West 22nd Street in New York City. The event will unite leaders from a variety of fields to share information on today’s most pressing ecological issues and discuss how and why organic foods are the solution to these problems. Climate change, declining human health, world hunger, and other issues will be discussed in what can only be a thought-provoking event.
According to The Organic Center, if organic farming methods were practiced on all the planet’s food-growing land, it would be like taking more than 1.5 billion cars off the road, which makes organic farming a code red global issue. Closer to home, The Organic Center has found that the average child in America is exposed to five pesticides daily in their food and drinking water. Yuck!
Tickets are $125 but for a limited time they are being offered at two tickets for the price of one. Click here to reserve your spot at this tasteful event.

Being a long way from New York (the opposite end of the world actually), I would love to hear feedback from anyone who attends this event. Key points, impressions etc. Sounds like a great initiative.
