Hi All,

I hope you are all managing to stay warm during this polar freeze. With all of the snow and ice we have been getting, I wanted to make sure you all knew of the new de-icing brine that NYS has been spreading on our roads, it is a mixture of salt and fracking waste. I know it is hard to believe, but check out the article that I included in my section, “In the News.” I first heard of this last week, during my discussion with Patti Wood from Grassroots Environmental Education, so I went searching the internet for more information on it, and what I found was alarming!

My guest this week, Mark Kastel, from The Cornucopia Institute, will also share some astonishing news with us, about the integrity of our National Organic Standards Board. The Cornucopia Institute is a non profit organization, dedicated to investigating and researching agricultural and food issues, and then sharing that information with family farmers, consumers, and others who care about the good food movement. They support economic justice for small family farmers and consumers, backing ecologically produced local, organic and authentic food. Please join me, as I interview Mark, and he shares with us what some of the issues that the Cornucopia Institute is working on right now!
