Friday, April 22 marks the 41st anniversary of Earth Day, a celebration for individuals and organizations alike to demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection and sustainability. As the world continues to improve and promote green efforts on a universal level, one cannot neglect the series of tragic events such as the Tsunami in Japan or the massive oil spill in the Gulf that has taken a vast effect on our Mother Earth this past year!  

"2011 is the year to lower your carbon footprint! By incorporating a few small changes into your everyday routine, you have the power to make a difference," says P. Allen Smith, award-winning garden designer and regular lifestyle contributor on NBC's The TODAY Show.  

"This Earth Day, challenge yourself to make a few simple changes. Here are 6 easy tips to implement into your everyday routine":

• Clean green. Stop buying household cleaners that are potentially toxic to both you and the environment. Read labels for specific, eco-friendly ingredients that also perform effectively, including grain alcohol instead of toxic butyl cellosolve (commonly found in carpet cleaner and some window cleaners as a solvent) and coconut or other plant oils rather than petroleum commonly used in detergents.
• Purchase biodegradable trash bags. Conventional plastic garbage bags can take years to decompose in landfills, but biodegradable kitchen garbage bags like the ones offered from Biobag will compost easily in the landfill. If you can't find biodegradable bags, you can also purchase recycled bags like those from Seventh Generation.
• Save a tree, use less paper. You can buy "tree-free" post-consumer recycled paper for everything from greeting cards to paper towels. Emerald's eco-friendly paper products are 70% tree-free, made from Bagasse (the fibrous leftovers of sugar cane processing).  
• Yes, even tableware can be green. Cover your table with beautifully made natural table linens and napkins and serve food in beautifully designed bamboo bowls. If you want to skip dishwashing, opt for recycled plastic plates and cutlery like the sets from GreenHome.com. Who knew being eco-friendly could look so good?
• Eat local and organic food when you can. When you can, support your local farmers, eat in season, and choose organic products. Avoid purchasing pre-prepared, frozen foods, and make them yourself, at home; many meals are made to be frozen and reheated without any loss in taste or quality, so there's no reason to thaw and rehydrate frozen and dehydrated foods when you can skip these steps and buy and cook fresh. Your environment and your body will thank you.
• Don't stop with your veggies and cleansers, think as far as the cocktail hour and make green changes. For example, if you are a tequila fan, swap out your "house" brand for a "green" brand like Casa Noble ultra premium tequila which is green and sustainable. And, of course, always drink in moderation.

Gym-goers who are working to fulfill their New Year's resolutions are getting a little extra help thanks to a new campaign for Stonyfield Farm Oikos Organic 0% fat Greek yogurt launching on the Health Club Media Network (HCMN).

The Oikos campaign, conducted at select health clubs in the HCMN network, consists of attractive ads coupled with tear-off, instant redeemable coupons (IRC) valued at $1.00 off any Oikos products. The ads promote the organic yogurt as having zero percent fat and two times the protein of ordinary yogurts and features the campaign's tagline, "Possibly the best yogurt in the world."

Anne-Sophie Schmitt, brand manager, Stonyfield Farm said, "We turned to HCMN for this campaign in order to enhance awareness, drive trial and influence the opinions and purchasing behavior of Oikos among active adults.  HCMN also allowed us to geo-target our consumer outreach to select gym locations that were near key retailers that sell our products."  

This is Stonyfield's first campaign with HCMN (www.hcmn.com), the largest exclusive provider of advertising and marketing programs in health clubs and fitness centers across the U.S.

"Our CPG clients are targeting health- and nutrition-focused audiences where they are choosing to improve their lives and right before they go on a regular shopping trip," said Richard Hirsch, EVP, Health Club Media Network. "These clients are finding that coupon tear pads placed on in-club media panels are generating redemption rates that are ten to 20 times their benchmark FSI rates."

Stonyfield Farm, celebrating its 27th year, is the world's leading organic yogurt company. Its all natural and certified organic yogurt, smoothies, milk, cultured soy, frozen yogurt and ice cream are distributed nationally. The company advocates that healthy food can only come from a healthy planet. Its use of organic ingredients helps keep over 180,000 farm acres free of toxic, persistent pesticides and chemical fertilizers known to contaminate soil, drinking water and food. To help reduce climate change, Stonyfield offsets all of the C02 emissions generated from its facility energy use. The company also started a nonprofit called Climate Counts (climatecounts.org) which shows people how they can help fight climate change by the way they shop and invest. Stonyfield also donates 10% of its profits to efforts that help protect and restore the Earth. For more information about Stonyfield Farm, its products and initiatives, visit www.stonyfield.com.

10-Year Tracking Report Highlights Areas for Improvement

The Food and Drug Administration called today for stepped up efforts to improve food safety practices in retail food establishments, specifically pointing to the need for the presence of certified food safety managers to oversee safety practices. FDA pledged to work closely with state and local governments and operators of restaurants, grocery stores and other food service establishments to prevent illness from contaminated food.  

FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods Michael R. Taylor cited the retail food industry's recent progress in key areas as well as room for improvement, based on the findings released today from FDA's 10-year study tracking the retail industry's efforts to reduce five key risk factors.  

"In looking at the data, it is quite clear that having a certified food protection manager on the job makes a difference," Taylor said. "Some states and localities require certified food protection managers already, and many in the retail industry employ them voluntarily as a matter of good practice. We think it should become common practice."

A component of the 10-year study, the 2009 retail food report, found that the presence of a certified food protection manager in four facility types was correlated with statistically significant higher compliance levels with food safety practices and behaviors than in facilities lacking a certified manager.  For instance, compliance in full service restaurants was 70 percent with a manager, versus 58 percent without a manager. In delicatessens, compliance was 79 percent with a manager, versus 64 percent without.  For seafood markets, compliance with a manager was 88 percent, versus 82 percent without. And in produce markets, compliance was 86 percent with a manager, versus 79 percent without.  

In addition to calling for certified food protection managers to be common practice, Taylor said the FDA initiative will include:

• Increased efforts to encourage widespread, uniform and complete adoption of the FDA Model Food Code by state, local and tribal regulatory agencies that are responsible for retail food safety standard setting and inspection. The Food Code recommends standards for management and personnel, food operations and equipment and facilities;  

• Increased efforts for adoption of FDA's National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards by state, local and tribal agencies that enforce the Food Code and other measures to create an enhanced local regulatory environment for retail food operations.  

"The key to food safety is prevention at every step from farm to table. Food retail managers, like growers and processors, have a responsibility to reduce the risk of foodborne illness," Taylor said. "We want to build on past progress through continued collaboration with the retail industry and strengthened partnerships with state, local and tribal agencies in their standard-setting and compliance efforts."

The 10-year study looked at more than 800 retail food establishments in 1998, 2003 and 2008 and five risk factors:  food from unsafe sources, poor personal hygiene, inadequate cooking, improper holding of food (time and temperature), and contaminated food surfaces and equipment.  

FDA found that overall compliance improved in all nine categories of establishments.  The improvements were statistically significant in elementary schools, fast food restaurants, full-service restaurants, meat and poultry markets and departments, and produce markets and departments.  Improvements, although not statistically significant, were seen in hospitals, nursing homes, deli departments/stores and seafood markets and departments.

However, according to FDA, continued improvements are needed across the board, in regard to three risk factors:  poor personal hygiene, improper holding of food, and contaminated food surfaces and equipment.

More than 3,000 state, local and tribal agencies have primary responsibility to regulate the more than 1 million food establishments in the United States. FDA assists the regulatory agencies and the retail industry through the Food Code, which contains prevention-oriented and science-based food safety guidance, training, program evaluation and technical assistance.

Consumers have a right to know what is in their food! That's Whole Foods Market's message as it partners with the nonprofit Non-GMO Project to raise awareness about the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the food supply.

"Shoppers want more information about what's happening to their food," said Michael Besancon, Whole Foods Market senior global vice president of purchasing, distribution and marketing. "The Non-GMO Project's program helps us stay true to our mission of offering food in its most natural and unadulterated state.  We're committed to this program because it gives us and our suppliers a way to label non-GMO verified products and to educate consumers so they can make informed choices."

Whole Foods Market shoppers can learn more about non-GMO verified products through store displays in October and by visiting the company's website. October 10 is Non-GMO Day, and Whole Foods Market stores throughout the country will offer product tastings and demonstrations.

Genetically engineered varieties of plants such as corn, soy, canola and sugar beets are designed to be able to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. More than 30 countries including Australia, Japan and all of the European Union, have restrictions and/or bans on the production of GMOs because they are not considered proven safe.

According to the Grocery Manufacturers Association, approximately 80 percent of the food on grocery store shelves in the U.S. contains at least one GMO ingredient. While Federal law compels organic producers to comply with non-GMO requirements through the USDA organic standards, there is no standard for labeling GMOs in non-organic products.

"Most Americans have no idea that there are GMOs in their food, and may not even know what a GMO is," said Megan Westgate, executive director of the Non-GMO Project. "At the same time, study after study points to potential health risks and consumers in most developed countries around the world won't eat them. Americans deserve the same information and safe choices that consumers in Europe and elsewhere have, and that's what the Non-GMO Project and Non-GMO Month are all about."

The Non-GMO Project, with the support of Whole Foods Market, established America's first third-party non-GMO verified label--the "Non-GMO Project Verified" seal--to help shoppers recognize which products meet rigorous GMO avoidance practices. Verified products range from cereal and snacks to soy beverage products. Unfortunately, due to cross-contamination and pollen drift, very few products in the U.S. are completely free of GMOs. The Non-GMO Project standard is a process-based standard that avoids the intentional use of GMO ingredients by providing suppliers with procedures and best practices for minimizing the presence of GMO ingredients.

Whole Foods Market has enrolled its 365 Every Day Value store brand in the Non-GMO Project Product Verification Program. The company plans to celebrate the launch of the seal on many other products during Non-GMO Month. Of Whole Foods Market's private label products, several varieties of tortillas chips already bear the seal.  For more information about GMOs and Non-GMO Month, visit www.nongmoproject.org.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but at the Avon Foundation for Women, it's breast cancer awareness month every month of the year. The Avon Foundation and Avon Foundation Honorary Chairperson Reese Witherspoon are using this October to kick off the Kiss Breast Cancer Goodbye grassroots campaign to motivate people to use their lips to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and access to care.

Over the last decade, the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has raised and donated nearly $700 million to accelerate research and improve access to breast cancer care in more than 50 countries. Reese Witherspoon says, "Kiss Breast Cancer Goodbye is the Crusade's latest call to action against this disease that touches all of us. Here in the United States, one woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes. I am proud to stand with the Avon Foundation for Women in this important crusade to raise both awareness and funds that will save lives."

This October Avon launches its latest fund-raising product, the Lips for Life tote. Priced at $5 each, 100% of net proceeds ($3.74) will go to Avon Breast Cancer Crusade beneficiaries, including leading cancer research and clinical centers, and community-based, non-profit breast health education programs. The tote is available at PasstheKissOn.org and through Avon Representatives, by calling 1-800-FOR-AVON or by visiting www.avon.com.  

Avon also has created a fun online tool that people can activate to remind one another of the many resources available to manage breast health. "Pass the Kiss On" is a customizable online widget, available at www.PasstheKissOn.org, featuring Reese Witherspoon and a pair of "talking" lips. People can send family and friends a personalized message expressing support, urging them to get a mammogram, and encouraging them to pass the message along.

"Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. We are encouraging everyone to spread the word that early detection and treatment can save lives," says Carol Kurzig, President of the Avon Foundation for Women. "By passing the kiss on, people can help the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade raise funds and awareness to accelerate research, with an emphasis on developing new diagnostic tests and tailored therapies, and ensure that all women (and men) get the breast cancer screening and care they need."

The Avon Foundation for Women was founded in 1955 to improve the lives of women, and brings this mission to life through focus on two key issues: breast cancer and domestic violence. Through 2010, Avon global philanthropy has donated more than $800 million in more than 50 countries for causes most important to women. The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade  launched in 1992, and Avon breast cancer programs in more than 50 countries have raised almost $700 million for research and advancing advance access to care, with a focus on the medically underserved. Funding is awarded to beneficiaries ranging from leading cancer centers to community-based grassroots breast health programs. In addition to generous support from Avon Products, Inc., funds are raised through the sale of Avon "pink ribbon" products, as well as a variety of events, races and walks; the U.S. Avon Walk for Breast Cancer series is the Foundation's largest fund-raising source.
