Looking better than Grandfather Che




Guevara's Granddaughter Stars in New PETA Ad
"The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall."
—Che Guevara


Well, it looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Che Guevara's granddaughter, Lydia Guevara, is following in her revolutionary granddad's footsteps by calling for a "vegetarian revolution."


"PETA's fight for animals was one of the reasons why I went vegetarian," Lydia told the Spanish news agency Efe. "Moreover, this lifestyle has become a true revolution that is attracting more people and is an alternative that is healthier for the planet and for humankind."
Vegetarianism as a revolution? If so we need many more revolutionary fronts to help our environment.

Hello,

My name is Bill Hawthorne, and I represent maacenter.org, a leading web resource for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma cancer information. Our organization is dedicated to increasing awareness of the terrible health consequences of asbestos exposure through the distribution of the best informational materials and public outreach efforts.

I found your site through a search and decided to contact you because of its high environmental and green presence which is extremely important in our movement. Your viewers are extremely savvy and motivated. The promotion of how buildings should now be built using sustainable green products to avoid asbestos and mesothelioma as well as the awareness of past buildings and preventative steps in avoiding asbestos exposure are extremely important. My goal is to get a resource link on your site/blog or even to provide a guest posting to be placed.

I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to check out our website at www.maacenter.org. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Please contact me back at bhawthorne@maacenter.org

I agree with being informed about the clothes and products you purchase. I didn't actually do too much research until I met the store owner of Embodies in Larkspur, CA. She told me about all the lines she carries, who makes it, where it's made, where the materials are from and the business practices. I was so amazed by her dedication to researching and selling a quality, green product. Here's her website if anyone is interested: www.embodies.com
Thanks for your great articles!
