		<title>What&#8217;s Worse Our Normal Water Pollution or the Gulf Oil Spill?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of us can&#8217;t ignore the devastation in the Gulf and want to do something to help out. Maybe fly out and volunteer or donate money. Here is another alternative.
After browsing the news articles I came upon the following photo created by a scientist already in the Gulf studying Dead Zones:

So, what&#8217;s worse the Dead Zone or the Oil Spill?
At first, it may be hard to tell. The Oil Spill is continuing to grow and may not be stopped for a few months. The oil will be washing ashore or ...]]></description>

		<title>Airline Industry Accounts for 2% of Global Warming, CO2 Emissions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m attending a forum on IT Government Leadership learning about the NextGen program from the FAA. This billion dollar program is modernizing our airline transportation through GPS, weather forecasting, digitizing the analog, and much much more.
The environmental impact of this program primarily concerns fuel use. Doing so though updating and simplifying flight routes, allowing for glide paths to landings (instead of stop-n-go). The net benefit should mean lower fuel costs for airlines, maybe lower ticket prices, and definitely less fuel use. This picture highlights the expected fuel and time savings ...]]></description>

		<title>Tips for the Farmers Market Diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s farmers market season and everyone is feeling the pull toward the street markets. Shopping at them can be confusing and overwhelming. To help you get through the season happier, healthier, and with more money in your pocket, here are some tips.
Cost
Every newbie to the markets talks about cost. I call it the supermarket hangover. They have trouble understanding why they should pay more. Isn&#8217;t food at the supermarket and the farmers market the same?
Definitely not. The supermarket food is priced correctly, cheap because it is cheap food. It has ...]]></description>

		<title>A Clean Life Touchpoints</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A touchpoint is the moment when a person interfaces with your product. This can occur before, during, or after a transaction. In the case of the internet it can occur on your own site or any number of other secondary sites.
In the world of customer service touchpoints are intensely important. They can often define a customer&#8217;s first impression of the the product and cause them to become immediately loyal or offended.

		<title>Silver Diner Offers Local Food, Claims Farm To Table</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Silver Diner, a restaurant chain serving Virginia and Maryland, recently decided to offer &#8220;fresh and local&#8221; food. When I heard this I excitedly ventured out to our closest diner with a group of colleagues. We were ready for some good old fashioned home cooking and jukebox heroes (yes they do have them!). Trouble was not far away though&#8230;
The first thing one notices at the new Silver Diner are the advertisements all over the diner for the new local food. The host and server make sure to mention it. The menus ...]]></description>

Bumpy Ride
Any good nutritionist will tell you right away that food science is shaky at best. We are in a period of unprecedented period diet related diseases including the leading killers in America.

		<title>Alexandria Farmers Markets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We love our Alexandria Farmers Markets.
Alexandria, Virginia has two Saturday markets, one Sunday market, and a Wednesday evening market. The Old Town market is an institution in front of City Hall open all year round. While the Del Ray market is quintessential Alexandria located in a nestle of local shops, cute little houses, and plenty of locals walking around.
If you looking for more markets Arlington has six more that are not too far away with some open during the week (tues, thurs). You can find those lower on the page ...]]></description>

		<title>Foraging for Chives in Arlington</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Spring&#8217;s bounty was a whole sheaf of chives foraged from my local creek. Just that statement would make you think I live in some picturesque countryside, but no I live in a major city.
It turns that their are a ton of foods growing wild in every city just waiting to be picked. They can be wild mint which grows incredibly fast, onions like the wild ramps and leeks, and of course basic herbs and spices like chives. 
The key to being a forager is jumpstarting your hunter gathering brain. ...]]></description>

		<title>The Nearly Vegetarian Diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been struggling with this post for a few days now. How to tell the story of the nearly vegetarian diet?
Should I start with protein fear? Studies show that vegetarians get just as much protein as meat eaters. In fact, they get their protein in a far superior way, without all the added fat, cholesterol, heart health issues, and possibly even cancer. Despite these well established and respected facts the protein fear lingers.
Maybe I should focus on the government corruption angle. Did you know that the Food Pyramid and Farm Bill directly cater to ...]]></description>

		<title>Podcast: NPR&#8217;s Intelligence Squared, Is Organic Hype?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Six debaters, three against three, will be debating this motion: Organic Food is Marketing Hype&#8221;
&#8220;Now this is a debate, it is not panel discussion or seminar. It is a debate, someone will win and someone will lose.&#8221;
That is the intro to the latest debate from NPR&#8217;s Intelligence Squared.
I love these debates after picking one up on who is to blame for the Mexican Drug War. They are fun and fascinating, and also heavily liberal.
I do love how they present multiple points of view. They stick to the debate format which ...]]></description>
