Surf's Up For Sea-Wise Shoppers:

The Green Guide Summer Issue Is In

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, Jul. 1 -/E-Wire/-- Summer is here, your focus is outdoors-- a weekend at the beach, backyard barbecues, or maybe a "working" holiday on an organic farm. Check out the latest issue of THE GREEN GUIDE [http://www.thegreenguide.com/issue.mhtml], ready with tips and advice for everyone from the green gourmet looking for the best surf and turf for backyard grilling, to the weekend carpenter planning to build a new deck off the kitchen.

THE GREEN GUIDE [http://www.thegreenguide.com/] has it all -- the best green home tips, product reviews and environmental health advice of any publication of its kind -- packed in one easy-to-read 8 page newsletter plus a dynamic web site. Look for the summer issue plus more at www.thegreenguide.com, or follow the links below to highlighted articles:

1. SURF'S UP FOR SEA-WISE SHOPPERS Informed consumer choice does matter. Overfishing and oceans pollution may be best countered at the checkout counter by consumers saying no to fish that hasn't been sustainably harvested. Read David Helvarg's Sustainable Seafood [http://www.thegreenguide.com/doc.mhtml?i=97&s;= seafood] for inspiration, then make your own sea-wise shopping choices with The Green Guide's own "Yes Fish, No Fish" seafood selector [http:// www.thegreenguide.com/doc.mhtml?i=97&s;=bestfish], and create some delicious salmon cakes (see http://www.thegreenguide.com/ doc.mhtml?i=97&s;=cakes for recipe).

2. CORAL ON THE EDGE An estimated 10-27 percent of coral has perished worldwide. Habitat to millions of marine species, coral is being lost as a result of human behavior, sometimes thousands of miles away. As with canaries in the coal mines, writes Green Guide editor, Mindy Pennybacker, in Canaries of the Sea [http://www.thegreenguide.com/doc.mhtml?i=97&s;=coral], the death of coral reefs is a warning to us all.

3. MORE FOR THE GREEN GOURMET NEW GRILLING GUIDES TO THE BEST CHICKEN AND MEAT It's grilling time again. You're a great backyard chef, and like most, want top quality chicken and meat for grilling, which increasingly means that which is ecologically and humanely produced. But what to choose? Shoppers today can face a plethora of confusing sustainable labels on meat and poultry products even in their regular supermarket. Make sense of all the labels and get what you want with The Green Guide's Smart Shopper's Pocket Guides [http://www.thegreenguide.com/doc.mhtml?i= 97&s;=poultry] one for chicken, one for meat.

4. NOT IN MY BACK YARD Planning to put in a new deck out the back door or to buy a back yard play set for the kids? Avoid wood products treated with CCA (chromated copper arsenate). The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned that exposure to CCA can increase risk of lung and bladder cancer. Turn to The Green Guide's Buyer Beware [http:// www.thegreenguide.com/doc.mhtml?i=97&s;=cca] for advice on CCA-free options and "what you can do" with existing CCA-treated back yard furniture.

5. WORKING HOLIDAY Mucking in the dirt beside complete strangers may sound like labor-camp internment, but if you enjoy travel and have an interest in organic farming, green work-exchange programs offer unique opportunities. So check out the resources at Working Holiday [http://www.thegreenguide.com/ doc.mhtml?i=97&s;=working] and then get your hands dirty somewhere beautiful.

Look for more green summer tips and advice in the new Green Guide [http://www.thegreenguide.com/issue.mhtml] and at the web site, www.thegreenguide.com, both publications of the non-profit Green Guide Institute.
