Hi All,

Yesterday was the Rally and Press Conference in Hicksville to Oppose the Williams Pipeline, and to participate in the public meeting that National Grid was hosting. The purpose of the meeting was to show the public how much more energy Long Island will need going forward, and to show their proposals for getting there. Needless to say, as I walked around the room, I did not see anything that talked about wind energy or solar energy! Not one!!

National Grid knows that New York just passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which requires by law, that we reduce our use of fossil fuels and install 6,000 megawatts of solar by 2025 and 9,000 megawatts of wind energy by 2035. How do they think we are going to get there if all they propose is more fracked gas and pipelines? This is a public issue and we all need to participate in letting our voices be heard. We need hundreds of thousands of people to show up at these events, not just the 40-50 people that showed up yesterday. Please consider getting involved!

Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Author of “Eat for Life” Joins iEat Green on the Progressive Radio Network!

I’m very excited to introduce to all of you my guest this week, Dr. Joel Fuhrman.  Dr. Fuhrman is a board-certified family physician, six-time New York Times best-selling author and internationally recognized expert on nutrition and natural healing. He specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional methods. He is the President of the Nutritional Research Foundation and on the faculty of Northern Arizona University, Health Sciences division. Dr. Fuhrman coined the term “Nutritarian” to describe a nutrient-dense eating style, designed to prevent cancer, slow aging, and extend lifespan.

For over 25 years, Dr. Fuhrman has shown that it is possible to achieve sustainable weight loss and reverse heart disease, diabetes and many other illnesses using smart nutrition. In his medical practice, and through his books and television specials, he continues to bring this life-saving message to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Dr. Fuhrman is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania (Pearlman) School of Medicine (1988) and has received the St. Joseph’s Family Practice Resident’s Teaching Award for his contribution to the education of family practice residents; and a C3 Cardiology Global Health Award for teaching cardiologists nutritional science.

In addition to the Dr. Fuhrman Wellness Center in New Jersey, Dr. Fuhrman also operates his “Eat To Live Retreat” in San Diego, where overweight people from all over the world come to stay for 4-12 weeks to conquer food addiction and recover their health.

Dr. Fuhrman is a former world-class figure skater, who placed second in the United States National Pairs Championships in 1973 and third in the World Professional Pairs Skating Championship. Along with his nutritional expertise, Dr. Fuhrman has been involved professionally with sports medical committees, advised professional and Olympic athletes, and instructed athletic trainers and world-class athletes about maximizing performance as they age and preventing injury.

Dr. Fuhrman just came out with his latest book, Eat for Life: The Breakthrough Nutrient-Rich Program for Longevity, Disease Reversal, and Sustained Weight Loss, which we will be talking about during the show!
