Dear GHD Member,
The topic of the second Healthy Lunch and Learn, “Going Green” will be held on June 11th at St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church. (See details below) “Living sustainably is an important part of ‘living green’ which is the idea that we should use our natural resources wisely to restore and maintain a balanced world. The choices we make every day regarding the food we eat, how much water and energy we consume, the type of cleaning products we use in the home , and the kind of car we drive have a positive or negative impact on the earth. It’s important to take weight off the world, too” says author Jordan Rubin in the book entitled Perfect Weight. Hope to see you on the 11th at 12:00 noon to find out more about what we can do for our environment.
