Juice Beauty Exfoliating Cleanser

Here at Radiance we love Bay Area Company, Juice Beauty!

We are recommending their Exfoliating Cleanser as a great choice for the transitioning Autumn weather.

Juice Beauty describes the cleanser:  "Gentle enough for daily use, this soap-free exfoliate blends jojoba beads and refining pineapple enzymes with antioxidant-rich grape juice and soothing Aloe Vera to remove impurities and brighten the skin."

September 23rd is Hug a Vegetarian Day

Five Reasons to Hug a Vegetarian:

1.  They help conserve water.  It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat.  The average water consumption of a large-scale chicken farm is approximately 100 million gallons per day.

2.  Vegetarians could potentially solve our world hunger crisis.  90% of corn, 75% of soy, 65% of barley, and 90% of oats grown in the United States are used as animal feed.  More people could be fed with these grains than with the meat produced by them.

3.  They help reduce pollution.  In the United States, the meat industry is responsible for one third (35%) of the methane emissions and a whopping two-thirds (65%) of the nitrous oxide emissions, both considered greenhouses gases.

4.  A vegetarian diet could free up land for the production of food.  170 pounds of beef can be produced on an acre of land; the same area would be able to produce 20,000 pounds of potatoes.

5.  Vegetarians are just plain sexy.

Moving Planet: a day to move beyond fossil fuels

Moving Planet Day is happening on Sept. 24th in many cities across the country.  It will be a day to put our demands for climate action into motion—marching, biking, skating—calling for the world to go beyond fossil fuels.

In Olympia, this event is taking place downtown from 12 pm to 8 pm, with a picnic in Sylvester park from 5-7 pm.  Walk, ride your bike or take the bus and discover how easy it is to shop and explore downtown on foot---and let your voice be heard in support of change.  Some streets will be closed off to increase accessibility to some venues and encourage walking tours.

Check out the Moving Planet website for more information.  http://www.moving-planet.org/events/us/olympia-washington/1617
