 Warm Peaches and Nuts Saladcourtesy allrecipes.com "Warm peaches and sauteed vegetables and nuts on top of a bed of greens make for a delicious summer dish." Ingredients • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 1 cup shredded red cabbage • 1 small carrot, shredded • 1/2 yellow squash, thinly sliced (on sale for $1.69/lb) • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced (Green peppers on sale for $2.49/lb.) • 1/2 small onion, sliced • 1/2 cup red wine (Arao Tinto on sale for $7.99) • 1/4 cup sliced almonds • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts • 2 fresh peaches - pitted, skinned, and sliced (on sale for $2.69/lb.) • 4 cups mixed baby greens • 1/4 cup raspberry vinaigrette Directions 1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the cabbage, carrot, squash, bell pepper, and onion in the oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the red wine, almonds, and walnuts into the vegetable mixture, reduce heat to low, and simmer 5 minutes. 2. While the vegetable mixture simmers, heat a small skillet over medium heat; cook the peach slices in the skillet until completely warmed, about 5 minutes. 3.

| Board Applications Due |
| Application Deadline - This Friday, August 27 October is National Co-op Month, making it the perfect time to hold the election for the Weaver Street Market's Board of Directors. One of the benefits of being an WSM owner is participating in governing the store, by voicing your views on ownership issues and electing members to the Board of Directors. You also may serve on the Board yourself. Any current owner in good standing, who has been an owner in their current class of ownership for at least one year by the date of their application, is eligible to nominate him or herself for election. Candidate application packets may be picked up at all WSM store locations. These packets include background information, details of the election process, and how to learn more about the Board and its processes. Candidates for elected positions on the Board will acquaint themselves with board governance policies and procedures prior to application. Opportunities for doing this include: reviewing the current Board policy notebook, discussing his/her candidacy with a Board member, and attending a board meeting. Such preparation prior to applying will help a prospective candidate to decide whether serving on the Board is a commitment he/she wishes to make. Candidates must present applications in the established form by the published date; no write-in candidates are allowed. You are encouraged to participate! Contact the board by email for more information. Consider nominating yourself, or simply vote for a candidate in October. Exercising your rights as an owner is critical to WSM remaining a successful and vital part of the community. Application deadline is August 27, 2010, 10 pm |

 The Big Picture: New Concepts in Recyclingby Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer Many of us have been recycling for years: not only bringing our cans and bottles to the curb, but driving (or biking) papers to Orange County Drop-off Sites, saving up batteries to take to a Convenience Center, and even packing recyclables to bring home from vacations in non-recycling parts of the world. We look forward to more advances in what we can recycle. The 'Zero Waste' movement presents a bigger picture. While Zero Waste is attainable for a single event, or as a personal living experiment to blog about, it's hard to imagine a community succeeding at a Zero Waste goal when there are no legal controls over how products are packaged. (Orange County has a 61% waste reduction goal based on a 1991-1992 baseline of 1.36 tons/capita waste generation rate. In fiscal year 2008-2009, we hit 54%, our best yet.) Still, it is interesting to consider the concept...I daydream of the day when, instead of the garbage truck, the composting truck comes down the street each week. Free gardening materials will one day be available at the town's composting facility, where all plastics are reduced. Occasionally, a 'turn-of-the-century' plastic fork turns up—children collect them, and a rare one might fetch twenty dollars at auction... There is an International Zero Waste Alliance; visit their website here. There are also expanding concepts of product stewardship and extended producer responsibility (EPR), potential tools to ensure that new products have a home at the end of their useful life. (EPR is an 'upstream' tool to compliment the 'downstream' recycling we already do.) As Orange County moves towards development of the three-year update to the comprehensive solid waste plan, there is opportunity for public comment on the plan that includes recycling elements. You can look at the draft plan document online here; comments are welcome. A public meeting will be held to solicit input this fall. |
