Twist of Lime
It started like this. We looked around and noticed changes in the way people were living their lives. It seemed these changes were coming from a few sources: a growing awareness of the state of our planet to what foods we eat; an interest in yoga and inner peace to an exploration of alternative wellness ideas...but there was a central thread: healthy living.We also noticed there wasn't a central place to connect all these interests. That's why we created LIME. Healthy living with a Twist.At LIME, we built a place where you can find all the ideas, information and resources to inspire you to live healthier and help make our planet greener - and have some fun while you're at it.

Greenpeace proves every day that ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things.

It was a group of thoughtful, committed citizens that came together in 1971 to create Greenpeace. A handful of determined activists leased a small fishing vessel, called the Phyllis Cormack, and set sail from Vancouver for Amchitka Island in Alaska. Their mission was to protest U.S. nuclear testing off the coast of Alaska with a brave act of defiance: to place themselves in harm’s way. Despite being intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard, these daring activists sailed into history by bringing worldwide attention to the dangers of nuclear testing.
