    Native Plant Press January 2020 The Native Plant Press The Newsletter of the Central Puget Sound Chapter of WNPS Volume 21 No. 11 January 2020 Holiday Party Recap On Sunday, December 8th, the Central Puget Sound Chapter held our annual holiday party. The event was a potluck, and the fare was wide-ranging and excellent. The native plant-focused silent auction offered several hand-made wreaths, numerous potted natives from tiny succulents to gangly shrubs, plant-themed books and ephemera, and a couple of experiences. The selection occasioned some intense bidding wars, with Franja Bryant and Sharon Baker arriving at a compromise in their battle over the Native Garden Tea Party. A highlight of the party was the presentation of awards to Member, Steward and Professional of the Year. Each year, nominations are submitted by members and the recipients are chosen by the CPS Board. Stewart Wechsler (left) was chosen Member of the Year. Stewart is a Botany Fellow for the chapter and for many years has offered well-attended plant ID sessions before our westside meetings. In addition, he often fields the many botanical questions that we receive from the public. David Perasso (center) is our Steward of the Year. David is a Native Plant Steward at Martha Washington Park on Lake Washington and has been working to restore the historic oak/camas prairie ecosystem at the site. The site is now at the stage where David was able to host a First Nation camas harvest recently. He is also an active volunteer at our native plant nursery, providing vital expertise in the identification and propagation of natives.

Facts—Introduction Global Animal Partnership is a private operating foundation founded by, and with contributions from, Whole Foods Market. Global Animal Partnership’s sole substantial activity appears to be the operation of a program to certify that certain food products sold by Whole Foods Market. In addition, Whole Foods Market may be paying fees to Global Animal Partnership to provide services that benefit Whole Foods Market. Whole Foods Market Corporation (“Whole Foods”) is a Texas-based chain of premium supermarkets that promotes itself as “America’s Healthiest Grocery Store.” Whole Foods provides both traditional groceries and meat and poultry products, as well as prepared foods. In 2005, Whole Foods founded Global Animal Partnership (GAP), a tax-exempt organization whose principal activity is developing and promoting its “5-Step® Animal Welfare Rating Standards.” In turn, the Standards’ principal use appears to be to certify that meat products sold by Whole Foods Market satisfy the Standards. Whole Foods’ founder and long-time CEO, John Mackey, was a board member of GAP until 2014.

Murray, Mayor Finance and Administrative Services Fred Podesta, Director July 25, 2016 The Honorable Tim Burgess Seattle City Hall 501 5th Ave. Seattle, WA 98124 Councilmember Burgess, Attached is an annual report of all real property under City ownership. The annual review supports strategic management of the City’s real estate holdings. Because City needs change over time, the annual review helps create opportunities to find the best municipal use of each property or put it back into the private sector to avoid holding properties without an adopted municipal purpose. Each January, FAS initiates the annual review process. City departments with jurisdiction over real property assure that all recent acquisitions and/or dispositions are accurately represented, and provide current information about each property’s current use, and future use, if identified. Each property is classified based on its level of utilization -- from Fully Utilized Municipal Use to Surplus. In addition, in 2015 and 2016, in conjunction with CBO, OPI, and OH, FAS has been reviewing properties with the HALA recommendation on using surplus property for housing. The attached list has a new column that groups excess, surplus, underutilized and interim use properties into categories to help differentiate the potential for various sites. Below is a matrix which explains the categorization: Category Description Difficult building site Small, steep and/or irregular parcels with limited development opportunity Future Use Identified use in the future

    Growing Trend of Veganism in Metropolitan Cities: Emphasis on Baking

    GROWING TREND OF VEGANISM IN METROPOLITAN CITIES: EMPHASIS ON BAKING 1 2 *Kritika Bose Guha and Prakhar Gupta 1Assistant Lecturer, Institute of Hotel Management, Kolkata , 2Student, Institute of Hotel Management Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition, Pusa, New Delhi [email protected] ABSTRACT Background: Veganism is a new food trend is gaining momentum in India. A diet based on large quantities of fruit and vegetables has a positive impact on our health. A vegan diet is based on plants and has increased in popularity over the recent years. Health is the most central reason for choosing a vegan diet. Meat free diets in India can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, and Indian culture shows a great respect for animals in various cultural texts. Every major Indian religion viz. Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism encourage ahinsa that is non-violence toward other living beings. In modern India bakery products have made a way into our homes. Cakes, Breads, Puddings, Pie etc. are a common thing which can be now found in every household list. The challenge is each of these products contain animal based product and people who are following veganism cannot consume them. Vegan baking is a challenge because of the use of various products like eggs, milk, etc. in normal recipes. Several Chefs and companies are working on products that are vegan. Everyday more substitutes are coming and Market is growing with a steady pace. Objective: To study and find out the trend of vegan baking in Metropolitan Cities of India and spread awareness about Vegan Baking. Methodology: The study was conducted by a random sampling survey from cities Kolkata and Delhi, taking the opinions of consumers through a self-designed questionnaire who have opted for Veganism, & their needs.

Introduction Veganism is a practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, and is also an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of animals. A follower of veganism is known as a vegan. Distinctions are sometimes made between several categories of veganism. Dietary vegans (or strict vegetarians) refrain from consuming animal products, not only meat but also eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived substances. The term ethical vegan is often applied to those who not only follow a vegan diet but extend the philosophy into other areas of their lives, and oppose the use of animal products for any purpose.
