We at thinkGood. are huge fans of MTV’s the Aftershow, and even bigger fans of Craig Kielburger and his initiatives. Check out a segment of Craig’s interview with Jessi Cruickshank from MTV’s the Aftershow.

A few days ago we did a post called Food for Thought which highlighted the documentary Food Inc. If you watched it, or even the trailer, it may have made you curious about what to eat in light of the controversial way food is being produced these days. The issues presented in Food Inc., highlight our need to eat organic locally grown nutritious foods. If you’re at all curious about where you can get your hands on good food Whole Foods, a grocery story that only carries natural and organic products, is a great place to start. There are currently two locations in Ontario, one in Toronto (Yorkville) and the other in Oakville. A third location is set to be built by 2011 in Mississauga.
While doing some investigative shopping we came across:
On your next date night, why not take a trip to Whole Foods and see what interesting items you can bring home to cook up! The Whole Foods website is also a great resource to explore the organic food movement. Here’s to Good eating, because as they say, you are what you eat.

As I sit here writing this post, I’m listening to a local radio station with my Eton multi-purpose radio that’s powered with a solar panel or hand crank power. It can also be used as a flashlight, and can minimally charge your cell phones – think dire situations. This thinkGood. green shopping bag item was found at the 2010 Toronto Green Living Show at the Direct Energy Centre. With over 400 exhibitors, there was something for everyone. Stalls displayed information on all things green – cleaning products, organic and fair trade food items, home building supplies, scooters, housewares, and much much more. There were businesses big and small with innovative green products like Good Lines Decor that sells (among other things) hypoallergenic pillows stuffed with polyester made from recycled P.E.T. plastic (think recycled pop bottles). We also learned about the Ontario Electronic Stewardship which provides info on where Ontarians can recycle old electronics; don’t even think of throwing them out! Other corporations that got some green light were President’s Choice with their organic food line, and Lexus with their uber-luxurious hybrid vehicle.
One of our favourite do-gooders Craig Kielburger was present in spirit as well with the Me to We clothing line. Tees from Me to We are ethically manufactured, quality apparel for the socially-conscious consumer. Also awesome is that 50 per cent of the profit from the tees goes to Me to We’s charity partner, Free The Children, to support development projects in rural and impoverished areas across the globe. Juno themed tees support Music Counts who helps buy instruments for youth, and all tee purchases ensure the planting of a tree. Today we helped plant six trees! What did you do today?
