The Rochester Gluten Free Guide | Summer Issue Is Here

The Rochester Gluten Free Guide Summer 2016 is here

We are well into Summer 2016 and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Every year it seems like summer sneaks up like a thief in the night and this year was no different. Hopefully you and your family are enjoying the long days, late nights, and early morning sunshine. Ideally you are soaking up as much sun as you can, and being as well as you possibly can.

Speaking of wellness, that’s the theme of this issue. Women in Wellness to be specific. This issue has been a long time in the making and I am so happy to finally be able to bring it to you.

Since returning to Rochester in 2013 (after a brief stint in Nashville) I have had the pleasure of meeting countless Rochester area women doing more than amazing work in the areas of health, fitness, wellness, nutrition, mental health, and beyond.

These allstars come from all walks of life and specialize in a diverse array of fields but are all connected by a sense of passion, work ethic, and commitment to helping everyone find their own personal sense of wellness. This issue’s pages are filled with their stories, their images, and their lives.

I hope you find inspiration from these phenomenal women and that their stories help you reach your own personal wellness goals.

Wellness is doing the best you can with what you have.

Remember, wellness isn’t perfection. Wellness isn’t absence of sickness. Wellness is individual and specific to you. Wellness is finding peace amongst tragedy. It’s finding balance in a world filled with excess. It’s finding beauty within imperfection. It’s doing the best you can with what you have.

Only you can define wellness for yourself and hopefully your definition will expand after reading these inspiring stories.

540WMain’s Used Cooking Oil Collection Program powered by The Alternative Fuel Foundation

June 27, 2016 — Leave a comment

Did you know that you can recycle your used cooking oil and turn it into diesel fuel?

I did but up until now, I’d never knew where and how to recycle used cooking oil. For years I collected it for months in the freezer and eventually built up the gall to toss it (devastating). 🙁

But all that has changed as I’ve partnered with The Alternative Fuel Foundation to launch 540WMain’s Used Cooking Oil Collection Program. 

For the first time ever  Restaurants, homeowners, and everyone else in between can deliver used cooking oil to 540WMain and it will be transferred to The Alternative Fuel Foundation for bioconversion and recycling. You can also schedule a pickup courtesy (moi)  myself for a small nominal fee. It is really as simple as that. Biofuel produces near zero emissions so every gallon burned offsets carbon that would have been generated from the use of traditional fossil fuels. How cool is that?

I am so happy to continue in my odyssey of making my life and career as sustainably focused as possible and giving back to the community through awareness and education.

If each of us does just alittle it sure adds up to quite a lot. Click —-> The Alternative Fuel Foundation to learn more about the  Foundation and here  about biodiesel conversion.

About The Alternative Fuel Foundation

The Alternative Fuel Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization that provides free used cooking oil collection and recycling services throughout the northeast.  All of the vegetable oil collected by the foundation is converted into clean burning biofuel, and all of the proceeds are used to fund green education programs.
