Comment from a previous SOKHOP attendee (9/08)
"SOKHOP was a great experience for our entire family. The kids took a yoga class, learned about recycling and composting, and planted vegetable gardens in peat pots. I learned how to cook healthy kid-friendly meals, while my husband enjoyed interacting with the organic landscapers and green builders. We all had a GREAT time!" |

"Saving Our Kids, Healing Our Planet is an innovative and vitally important event. Just
as we all must focus on healing the earth from the perils of pollution, we can’t forget the kids who are suffering from a
multitude of new behavioral, physical, and developmental problems…much of which is being linked to the toxicity in our food and
our planet. Waking up to the planetary crisis and developing alternative sources of energy must be coupled with creative and safe
healing solutions for our kids. The children after all, are the future, and we, the stewards who are creating the legacy they
will inherit! It is up to us to transform the current toxic legacy into a legacy of healing and hope!” |
