I have been nominated by Amanda of Figs Olive Wine to receive the award Bloggers For Positive Change. The award was originally created by Climate of our Future to recognise bloggers whose work helps to “form a collective
consciousness and wisdom that will help move our world in a positive
direction.”
Amanda's philosophy on food mirrors mine - Figs Olives Wine embraces a Mediterranean cultural style of eating through the use of seasonal, local produce and through simple, unadorned cooking that highlights the quality of ingredients rather than the skills of the chef. It is an honour to be chosen for this award by Amanda.
I now have the opportunity to also nominate bloggers I believe are helping move the world in a positive direction. Because my own award was based on my Taste of Yellow in support of LiveSTRONG Day I have decided to nominate people who have used their blog to promote health issues.
Kalyn's Kitchen - Kalyn brings to food blogs the healthy answer to obesity with the lower glycemic diet.
Homemades - Arfi , suffers from iron deficiency anaemia and raised awareness of the condition with her Cook and Eat Meat event.
Mele Cotte - Chris, a cancer survivor, raised awareness of a healthy diet to prevent some cancers with her event Foods to Combat Cancer.
Although they have already been nominated by Amanda I'd like to second the nomination of Ilva and Joanna who have combined to promote healthy eating on their blog The Heart of the Matter.
Thank you Amanda for the honour and thank you to all bloggers contributing toward a healthier world, especially Kalyn, Arfi, Chris, Ilva and Joanna.
Should they wish, nominees may now proudly display the BPGC badge on
their blogs. If any nominees have someone in mind that they’d like to
nominate in turn, just be sure to pass this list of rules to the blogs
you are tagging.
The participation rules are simple:
1. When
you get tagged, write a post with links to up to 5 blogs that you think
are trying to change the world in a positive way.
2. In your post, make sure you link back to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.
3. Leave a comment or message for the bloggers you’re tagging, so they know they’re now part of the meme.
4. Optional: Proudly display the “Bloggers For Positive Global Change” award badge with a link to the post that you write up.
