What's New at Living Tree Community |
|
We are pleased to awaken you to Spring with Manuka Honey, Active 16+. Other new introductions include Berkeley Buzz Butter for those who dare, Tart Cherries, Black Cumin Oil and Boreal Dulse Flakes.
Our May Super Special is now a jar of Alive, Organic, Almond Butter 8oz as a bonus on orders over $150; this is in addition to our usual John Muir Trail Mix bonus. Our World Mind features a thoughtful article by Samuel Alexander, "Can Renewable Energy Sustain Consumer Societies?" "A new report has just been published which ought to provoke a Copernican revolution in dominant conceptions of renewable energy and of sustainability more generally. The message may not be one that environmentalists want to hear, but it is one that we must all take very seriously, or risk having our good intentions dedicated to goals that cannot actually solve the very real environmental crises that we face. We are all for sustainable energy such as windpower, solar and so forth. But we have got to ask whether a "tech fix" will sustain us. We believe that we are facing a problem; in essence of how humans relate to fellow humans, a matter of decency, kindness and respect and no gimmick or gadget can change this. What is required is a fundamental change in the way we relate to one another. Finally we note the Green Smoothie Opt-In - a creative event by Dr. LindaJoy Rose and Raw Fusion Living.
