Green Festival : San Francisco

Spring is in the air and its that time again Green Festival is coming to San Francisco this weekend, April 9 & 10. Its a national project of Green America and Global Exchange that will be in Chicago, Seattle, New York and Los Angeles as well throughout this year.I think what makes this festival stand out is that it is carries the true sense of inspiration that make the green community powerful. For those of you who have been before, you know that the Green Festival is one of the greatest collections of all things green, and that its done nothing but expand and grow ever since it debuted.In their own words, Green Festival says:Think ofGreen Festival as a walk through a sustainable community. It begins with finding solutions to help make our lives healthier socially, economically and environmentally. Individuals, business and community leaders come together to discuss critical issues that impact us at home and abroad. Organizations and businesses showcase programs and products that restore the planet and all that inhabit it. Neighbor-to-neighbor connections are formed and skills are shared to empower people to create positive change in the world.And the festival does just that. In years past, Ive seen speakers who were happy to talk to me after the speech and actually had time to do it, met people who believed in the products they were showing at their booths, and networked with other passionate writers. Its a festival that is about what it says its about and does it with soul.Want to hear from other people what its like? Ask the hundreds of people in Care2s own Green Festivals group.If youre in San Francisco this weekend, I highly recommend you be at the Green Festival.Let us know in the comments if youve had a good experience there, or if you know of a highlight to be on the lookout for!Image Credit: GreenFestivals.org

Red Wine Reduced Breast Cancer Cells

Italian researchers from the University of Calabria say they demonstrated how a key ingredient in red wine inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cells . Resveratrol is the ingredient they say might be useful in the treatment of breast cancer, in addition to primary therapies. In their experiment resveratrol was applied to different cells and compared to cells that received no treatment. The cells receiving resveratrol showed a decrease in growth. A large reduction in estrogen receptor levels was believed to be related to the inhibition of the breast cancer cells. Their research study was published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies forExperimental Biology. These findings are exciting, but in no way does it mean that should people go out and start using red wine or resveratrol supplements as a treatment for breast cancer, said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief. (Source: ScienceDaily.com ) He said the research is more about the potential of resverat

Get Married, Live Longer?

Written by Jessica Cruel for YourTango.com New research shows that getting married could lengthen your life for up to 17 years .A study published in The American Journal Of Epidemiology reveals that single men have a 32 percent higher chance of death than married men across a lifetime. That means they could die eight to 17 years before the average married man of loneliness? Single women fare a bit better: They have a 23 percent (or about seven to 15 years) lower life expectancy compared to their married peers. This data is based on 90 studies of around 500 million people compiled over the last 60 years by researchers at the University of Louisville: No small feat. Younger singles face greater chances of early death. The risk of death for 30 to 39-year-old singles was 128 percent higher than for married people of the same age. On the other hand, 70-year-old singles only had a 16 percent higher risk of death. Perhaps its because theyve survived a single youth and emerged unscathed. These
