Taking care of body and planet

Submitted by burningwater on March 19, 2010 - 8:45am

Hi, I'm Carl, and i'm located in Las Vegas. I'm 40 years old and I love to cook healthy food with organic ingredients.

I've have had weight issues my whole life, and I recently learned about l-carnitine and weight loss, which motivated me even more to stick to natural foods. Going natural is my life's motto.

I find it sad there are so many people who eat (over) processed foods daily. We don't know what goes into that mass produced stuff, but even it's not dangerous to our health (which I'm sure it is), it's bad for our environment. Most of these foods contain ingredients that have been genetically modified.

The ingredients in processed foods and the production of processed foods is a danger to our environment. Do you think people ever stop and think about the fact that the excessive waste and garbage that is being generated by these foods in turn is causing our landfills to overflow?

We have to change how we produce food, or the way we eat is going to kill our very planet.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
