Sustainable Matters to Simona McIntyre

“A subject of great interest to me is food politics.  I have a great interest in the reaching impacts of food in society, which I find in America seems to be a symptomatic lack of.  Food has become such a commodity.  I love gardening, whole foods and greatly promote a real relationship with the things that sustain us in life.  I have a great respect for the whole things I eat.  Cooking and actively living ‘green’ make me feel more connected to everything that is alive.  Being so passionate about it, I can see myself in the future making a greater impact on society’s dwindling relationship with such an important thing.”

“I am supportive of organizations such as local farmers markets, boutique grocers and stores on a daily basis.  I am not part of any foundations in particular but simply supporting and living a lifestyle that is sustainable matters to me.  If I lived in one location I would love to subscribe to a local CSA for example, but alas I am on a plane almost weekly.  How contradictory.  The airlines I fly claim to be ‘greener’.” – model Simona McIntyre

Also, Simona’s personal blog is here: Blond Over Blue, where she has blogged about eco-friendly nail polish at the Michael Angel show which she walked at, and eco-friendly toilet paper in the bathrooms at Marc Jacobs’ building.  “Green thumbs to that”!
