Line dry your clothes. Yes, hang them. Dryers don’t even come with an “Energy Star” rating - that’s how bad they are in terms of energy consumption. Line or rack drying your clothes saves a ton of energy and prevents CO2 from entering the environment.

Georgia's Farm to Market Is Excited to Announce the Houston Summer Screening Series of the Movie FRESH, directed by Ana Sofia Joanes.
FRESH is an exhilarating look at the solutions people around the country are developing in response to the decaying American food system. FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are creating new thinking in how we approach food. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet.

Marian's unique multi-dimensional approach isn't just about choosing wholesome foods. It isn't about portion sizes or avoiding temptation. It isn't about deprivation. It's about Knowing Nutrition. Shopping Healthy. Having the right foods in your Pantry. Cooking Smart. Even changing the way you view yourself in relationship to food. Rewiring old habits of body and mind that work against your weight-loss goals every day. Most update information on Food and Nutrition, Carbohydrates (which are ok and those that are not), adding more organic, gluten free or raw to your daily food plan. Reading labels.....and more.
Together, we tackle your old habits and replace them with new ones you can love and endure. But old habits die hard. It takes commitment to make a real permanent change. Marian knows this - and works with you every step of the way.
