Dear Friends and Family,
How are you doing with the Eat Local Challenge? I've been in Portland for most of the week and while, with ample planning, I might have "eaten local" there, this wasn't that kind of trip. If you're not with the program either, no worries: We can have our own "challenge" anytime throughout the next month, while locally produced food is abundant.
Have you read your October CATALYST yet? This month we talk about "pinkwashing" ~ with a plea for breast cancer prevention before cure; a look at the so-called Molly deaths; the birthing of an air quality activist; the conclusion to our Chakra series; big changes in the CATALYST office; and lots more. Pick it up on the newsstand or access it online at www.catalystmagazine.net.
Thank you for reading!
~ Greta Belanger deJong

Normally at times like this, when it's all too clear that the inmates are running the asylum and no one is willing to admit that the Emperor has no clothes, I usually pine for the swift wit and biting wisdom of John Lennon. In my imagination, he would cut through the endless loop of hyperbolic spin that allows truthiness to reign supreme, and with a few penetrating words, remind us that war is over if we want it because each of us has the power to change the world ~ all that's required is a change of heart. Today is his birthday ~ 73-years old ~ and I do still miss him...(read more).
