Eating local is a mainstay of the moving beyond oil movement, and two local organic businesses, Raw and Juicy Organic Juice Bar and Café and Twin Oaks Farm, will be presenting a series of documentaries promoting that idea in a separate event.

Reclaim Our America hosted a Beyond Oil Party last Sunday at Hibiscus House in Grayton Beach to launch the campaign.
After showing a Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill documentary recently produced by the Sierra Club and other short films about energy alternatives, the participants wrote a personal pledge about steps they will take to move beyond oil on the backs of flags.
The flags are still available and are on display at businesses along 30A and at Hibiscus House. You can make your pledge at Raw and Juicy Organic Juice Bar in Seaside or Hibiscus House in Grayton Beach. For more information on upcoming events call 850-687-3494.
