Eco-Friendly Wool Dryer Balls

🤔 a banana that never turns brown! How do we know if it's rotten? For foodies, how do we know flavor or texture changes? How will we know it's got any nutrients left?

GMO Gene-Edited Bananas are Coming... Tropic, a United Kingdom-based biotech company, gene-edited the fruit so it never turns brown and is supposedly resistant to Panama disease. The company is promoting the GMO banana under the guise of reducing food waste. But it's really all about patents and profit. The banana was recently granted a non-genetically modified organism exemption by the Philippines Bureau of Plant Industry. The Philippines is a top producer and exporter of bananas. And since genome-editing is deregulated in the United States, our government will require absolutely nothing from the producers of these GMO bananas. No safety testing. No GMO labeling. In fact, because of deregulation, Tropic will be able to legally claim that its GMO bananas are non-GMO. How screwed up is that? It's bananas.

The only way to avoid these GMO bananas will be to buy certified organic, certified biodynamic, or Non-GMO Project Verified. The Non-GMO Project prohibits gene-editing under its certification standards.

Nature’s genius at work - Isn’t it fascinating how wool can both repel and attract water?
The outer layer is hydrophobic, keeping water out, while the inner layer is hygroscopic, drawing moisture in. This natural design keeps animals dry in the outdoors and wool garments can hold 30% moisture without feeling wet to the touch 🙌🐏

We often move through our day:day without much thought. Really take a moment to reason why you've chosen to buy from your 🧑‍🌾. You'll be reminded how much good you're doing for your health and your community

If you enjoy visiting your local farmers market, have you ever considered why? Maybe it’s seeing fresh fruit displayed under tents of many colors, feeling the just-harvested vegetables in your hands as you make your selection, or something else? 🍅🥬🫑🥕

For AFT team member Rachel, these reasons -and so many more- are part of why she shops at her local market. But truly, the most compelling part to her is the feeling of gathering, nourishment, and community.
