WELLNESS WEED

While many see dandelions as nothing

more than pesky plants, once brewed

up into a hot bevvy, dandelion root is

becoming the latest health trend for

its detoxifying benefi ts, as well as its

high vitamin B and C content. While

some are swilling it as an sub for their

morning joe, others claim it’s the

perfect evening sipper. If you ask us,

the bright and slightly bitter brew

is perfect any time of the day. TRY:

Traditional Medicinals Roasted Dandelion

Root. $6, traditionalmedicinals.com

CLIMATE

COUNTDOWN

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel

on Climate Change recently released

a watershed report, warning that

we only have 12 years to take the

steps required to cap global warming

at 2.7°F. The fi ndings call for more

aggressive action than previously

expected, projecting that coral reefs

would be virtually lost and signifi cant

sea ice in the Arctic Ocean would

disappear if we went even half of a

degree over the limit. DO YOUR PART: Shop environmentally conscious

brands, and, if necessary, call your local or state representatives and

implore them to do their part to uphold climate-change policies.
