This is a guest post by longtime AzSustainability fan Tomas Carrillo.
Greetings AZSustainability readers. I’ve been in the trenches for the
last few weeks putting the finishing touches on Arizona’s first ever
TEDxPhoenix event which is scheduled to take place this Friday,
November 6th from 6pm to 9pm at the Mesa Arts Center.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with TEDxPhoenix, it’s been
described as a Cirque du Soleil for the mind. Our inaugural event
will feature six of Arizona’s leading experts brought together to
enlighten, inspire, and entertain via ideas worth spreading. For fans
of the environment and sustainability, we are excited to announce that
Urban Farm founder and sustainability guru, Greg Peterson, will be
speaking at the event.
TEDxPhoenix is also a place where you can meet individuals who are
interested in leveraging ideas, technology, education, and design to
help create a better future for the Phoenix-metro communities and
beyond. For more information about the event, I highly recommend
checking out our TEDxPhoenix
Beginners Guide.
I really hope you will join us this Friday, and here are all the event
details for your viewing pleasure:

Do you remember the cafeteria food you had as a kid? It hasn’t gotten any better, in fact, it has gotten worse as demonstrated by recent widespread contaminated meat recalls, etc. The American diet in general is lacking, unbelievable levels of obesity and diabetes in children is shocking and undeniably traced back to diet. Meals poor in nutrition, high in fat, and high in preservatives, binders and other random unpronounceable additives are what sustain our children throughout the school day. Kids must have healthy food when they are expected to concentrate and perform at the levels that modern schools demand. It is impossible for anyone to function without the proper fuel.
