Choice Organic Teas: A Nose For Perfection, Innovation and Excellence! Dec 17, 2010

Show notes

Camellia sinensis is the botanical name for what is commonly referred to as tea. Not all teas are the same. There are a myriad of teas available ranging from: black teas, green teas, white teas, herbal teas, fruit teas, blended teas, etc. Let us not forget Rooibos Teas, Aspalathus linearis, commonly referred to as red teas which are from South Africa, also referred to as rooibos bush or “red bush” teas. Did you know that tea is one of two beverages that can be equated to wine? Most people have no idea just how much time, energy and effort goes into the cup of tea that is randomly sipped at diners, restaurants and cafes alike. The altitude, soil conditions, and climate directly impact each crop and can drastically affect the quality of the tea harvested. For connoisseurs, the way in which tea is harvested, dried, and processed will also affect each cup and therefore special attention must be given throughout the entire process. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, Eric Ring, tea expert, who is responsible for the production and purchasing of tea for Choice Organic Teas, will be my guest to talk about tea selection, harvesting, the importance of Fair Trade and Non-GMO certification and how consumers can learn how to select a good cup of tea! Stay tuned!

Larry Plesent: The Challenges Of Living Off The Grid And Operating An Organic Business in America Dec 15, 2010

Show notes

Owning and operatng a successful business in this economy is a tough call. Small businesses have had to slash profits drastically in order to keep up with big companies that are flooding the American market with cheaply made and potentially environmentally hazardous products manufactured in China. Unfortunately, Mr. Mom and Pop Shop will not be afforded a government bail-out to save them from declaring bankruptcy when they are deep in the red. Such is the fate of most small business today, regardless of the empty campaign promises that have been made. Thanks to the amount of corruption, expenses are going up, our utilities rates are soaring and along with our taxes. People are losing their homes left and right. What options do we really have? Is it possible to move out of the big cities, the suburbs and head to the country? When you mention the term “living off the grid” most people think you live in a cave and are foraging nuts and berries as you drink water from a stream in your cup carved out of a tree limb. That is clearly not the case with our favorite organic “Soapman”, Mr. Larry Plesent, CEO of Vermont Soapworks (www.VermontSoap.com) Larry, who is actually a pioneer in the organic industry, developed the world's first certified organic pet shampoo, shower gel, and nontoxic cleaner, continues to impact the organic industry with his knowledge and skills. Larry also owns and operates a restaurant in Middlebury, Vermont. In a very depressed economy, Larry has managed to keep his businesses thriving while still maintaining his ethics as he lives off the grid. So, what exactly is it like to move up from the city to the charmed life of the country? How does one go about building a home that is self-sufficient? What kind of maintenance is involved? Do you use candle light if the sky is cloudy or are there any reserves available? Just how expensive is it? If you are wondering if perhaps “living off the grid” is for you, tune in!

Maggie’s Organics: How The Fabric of Humanity Repairs A Broken System. Dec 13, 2010

Show notes

The average clothes shopper usually considers three important factors prior to purchase: the garment must be stylish, must fit and must be reasonably priced. Most people generally have become accustomed to the fact that clothing was not built to last. With garments being so cheap, quality has not been the main concern because if it rips or fades, it can easily be replaced. Subsequently, with the manufacturing of these cheap garments comes the exploitation of cheap labor combined with the negative impact on the environment. Stories of child labor factories and brutal working conditions were not just fairy tales but are real. For years, people have been exploiting others to work under horrific working conditions just to make a buck. Although the exploitation has not stopped entirely, manufacturing has been gradually changing for the better, impacting entire communities. Thanks to a very weak economy, people are now paying attention to quality and actually where the garment is made before they buy. The days of buying cheap garments are over. People are shopping smarter and demand the quality that used to come only with something that was hand-made. Maggie's Organics was founded in 1992 on the premise that workers should be treated ethically, clothing should be durable, affordable, and constructed of environmentally sustainable materials. Recently, Bena Burda, CEO of Maggie’s decided to go the distance, relaunching the entire line by taking organic to the next level – Fair Trade Certified™ apparel. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, Bena Burda and Mike Woodard, from the Jubilee House Community, will talk about the entire process: this year’s harvest, the success of the implementation of this program and how it is changed so many lives. It's an example of what we can expect in the future when the highest quality standard has been met by incorporating certified organic with certified Fair Trade. Stay tuned!

Chef Massimo: Organic Gourmet Pizza & Italian Cuisine -That’s Amore! Dec 10, 2010

Show notes

For most people with food allergies and sensitivities, it is very hard to dine out much less buy food that you can heat and enjoy. Although the organic industry is growing rapidly, there are certain kinds of foods that have a long way to go before connoisseurs of certified organic gourmet foods will even consider reaching for them much less making room in the fridge. Sometimes, it is just nice to have someone else do the cooking. This is not an easy task, even for the most skilled chef. Pleasing the masses is one tough job! However, Chef Massimo Di Sciullo, CEO of Massimo's Organic Gourmet (www.MassimosOrganicGourmet.com ) is determined to change this. His foods are hand crafted and not made in a factory but rather in his very own kitchen. Chef Massimo is very particular about the ingredients he uses and insists upon the freshest certified organic ingredients available. After working in the catering business for many years, with clients ranging from upscale cruise liners to the Vatican, Chef Massimo decided to bring his love of food to the Americas and pursue his own Organic American Dream as he diligently works to bring his gourmet masterpieces into your kitchen. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, Chef Massimo will talk about what it is like to come to America and pursue his American dream as he makes Organic Italian gourmet foods for all to enjoy!

Yet, in the middle of one of the worst recessions ever, in the heart of Detroit where the unemployment rate seems to be as high as the number of people losing their homes, two young women, Fotoula Lambros and Emily Thornhill, followed their hearts and decided to pursue their dream of creating a company that produces zero waste, uses certified organic fabric and very proud to proclaim that all of their garments are “Made In the USA!” Fotoula Lambros and Emily Thornhill are the owners of Femilia Couture. They use 100% Natural and Certified Organic Fibers (Organic Cotton, Bamboo, Silk, Viscose, Soy, Hemp and many varieties of blends).

In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, Fatoula Lambros, CEO of Femilia Couture will talk about her success as well as the struggles she has faced as she pursues her American Dream.

Liberty & Justice: It’s Dirt To Shirt Model Of Success, Lifting Africa and Lifting The World Dec 03, 2010

Show notes

After enduring a brutal 14 year civil war, Liberia's infrastructure and business institutions are left devastated. Approximately 250,000 people were killed, many executed mercilessly, leaving families torn apart with little options for survival. Liberia’s unemployment and poverty rates soared to 80 percent. The women of Liberia especially had it tough because they were excluded from the most productive sectors of the economy, including rubber and timber production. There were very little options for them much less hope for a future. So, what do you do when your home land has been destroyed and is in a dire state of poverty? This was the very question that Chid Liberty was faced with before he and his partner, Adam Butlein founded Liberty & Justice. The women of Liberia have come together to work in a business environment that makes sense for all. The company was built post-conflict with women from both sides working together. In addition, they not only work at the company together but actually own it. These women work together as a team, taking pride in their work as they skillfully meet the demands other businesses around the world face regarding deadlines, productivity and consistency in quality. Liberty & Justice is committed to a future in which the farmers, manufacturers, transporters, distributors, retailers, and consumers are completely aligned in making choices that result in the eradication of poverty, the responsible stewardship of the environment, and the empowerment of workers. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, Chid Liberty, CEO, Liberty & Justice, Adam Butlein, President of Liberty & Justice and the Liberian Women’s Sewing Project, and Tierra Forte, Business Development Manager for Fair Trade USA will talk about what it is like to truly empower and uplift people in despair while offering the promise of prosperity by launching a ground-breaking air Trade Certified™ apparel program in Africa.
