Nancy Burpee has overcome impossible challenges all her life. The latest was lung cancer.

Nancy Burpee has been swimming competitively all her life. Not only against other elite swimmers, but also against a rare connective tissue disease. Then she faced her greatest challenge: lung cancer. Nancy was told she faced a choice: either major invasive surgery or wait and see if the tumor would shrink. Instead, she turned to NYU Winthrop Hospital and Dr. Laurence Spier, one of the country’s top robotic lung surgeons. Dr. Spier not only removed the tumor without removing the entire lung, he was able to “tease” her lung free from the chest wall. Nancy was amazed at the improvement in her breathing and stamina. In just three weeks, she was back in the pool, swimming faster than she had in years. Thanks to NYU Winthrop, Nancy is still competing. And in all the ways that count, she remains undefeated.

Yardbird’s green mission to save the environment through furniture rebirth

Treasure a piece from the Luna Collection for years. BY JENNIFER FAUCI

Jfauci@antonmediagroup.com

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us…” While the above opening line from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities was made famous in 1859 when the novel was first published, it resonates with the world we live in now more than ever. Earth is in grave danger and taking care of the environment is just one of many ways people are trying to help. Jay Dillon is the owner and co-founder of Yardbird, an outdoor furniture company that is revolutionizing the way recreational furniture is made, delivered and recycled. Number one fans of the environment, the team at Yardbird is dedicated to producing the high quality outdoor furniture at great prices, working directly with their material suppliers. “Yardbird is one of the first outdoor furniture brands to offer a direct-to-consumer model as well as the first to make sustainability a part of its core mission,” said Dillon, who along with his father Bob, founded the Minnesota-based company, which opened its first showroom last year. “I moved to Asia for a number of years to study the factories and truly understand quality control in the industry. Through our model, we are able to offer the highest quality outdoor furniture at a fraction

Pepin Collection of the price compared to legacy brands.” Sustainability is a part of Yardbird’s overall brand mission. Yardbird’s resin wicker collections—Langdon, Elliot, Harriet and Waverly—incorporate intercepted ocean plastics in design and manufacturing. The collections are simple and classic, yet fit the contemporary style of most customers today. Dillon’s favorite piece is the Langdon Sectional, which he said is “incredibly comfortable” and what he has on his patio. He also

Lily Collection loves the Eden Collection, which “achieves the teak look without the maintenance.” Yardbird’s furniture is 100 percent recyclable, and when customers are ready to retire any of their Yardbird pieces, the company will reclaim and repurpose it, saving it from wasting away in a landfill. Dillon noted that Yardbird’s commitment to sustainability was inspired by the interest of starting an outdoor furniture business, as both he and his father love the outdoors and want to enjoy it for

years to come, speaking on behalf of Mother Earth and the environment. “The ongoing epidemic of plastic litter is hard to ignore, especially after spending time on the beaches in Asia. With Yardbird’s largest resin wicker set using over 120 pounds of plastics, we knew that we wanted to start our sustainability mission with incorporating recycled plastics,” said Dillon. The brand has been intercepting plastics before they make it into the waterways, making for a collective total of 30,000 pounds of retrieved ocean plastics that have been incorporated into Yardbird’s 2018 collection. Dillon noted that about 50 percent of every handmade resin wicker set is made of said recycled material. “We are targeting to collect over 100,000 pounds of intercepted ocean plastic to incorporate in our 2019 collection, increasing the content to 75 percent,” he said. “We have also introduced intercepted ocean plastics into Yardbird’s packaging in the 2018 collection.” Yardbird hopes its sustainability mission encourages people to become conscious consumers and think about their overall impact on the environment. The brand also hopes to inspire other companies to be socially conscious and mindful about what materials they are using in their production. “Our sustainability journey is constantly evolving and are looking forward to sharing the journey with our customers along the way,” said Dillon.

Hybrid Cars BY MYLES GOLDMAN

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

Hybrid technology in cars is being driven in the right direction when it comes to the issue of pollution and global warming. While the technology in a hybrid engine is a bit confusing, being half electric and gasoline powered, it makes it hard to choose which hybrid car is the best. Below are five of the best hybrid vehicles you can buy.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Plug-In Hybrid

Chevrolet Volt The Chevrolet Volt has been around for almost eight years now, but is still one of the most popular hybrid cars in the U.S. market. The 2018 Volt features a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a 111 kW electric motor that generates a respectable 149 horsepower. The battery on the Volt provides 53 miles of range, which is very impressive for a hybrid. On regular petrol mode, the Volt averages 43 city and 42 highway miles-per-gallon. The Volt is a good car, but has some downsides. The car starts at more than $30,000, leather interior is an extra $4,000 and heated seats are not included.

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV plug-in Hybrid has been around for some time now but only recently came to the United States and it is here to stay. The Outlander is the perfect all-wheel drive SUV if you want to be eco-friendly but don’t want to spend a lot of money on your typical hybrid. The car is cheap for what you get; starting at just over $34,500, the Outlander comes with heated front seats, leather seats, a three-month SiriusXM satellite radio trial, Bluetooth connectivity, a rear-view camera, Apple Carplay with Android Audio, seven-inch touchscreen display and more. The most important part about the Outlander though is its fuel economy; featuring a 166 horsepower 2.0L four-cylinder engine and two 60 kW batteries generating a total of 197 horsepower. If you want to drive the truck on electric only, the Outlander gives you a respectable range of 22 miles for an SUV. However, if you drive the truck in hybrid mode, you get 74 mpg.

Toyota Prius C Being the cheapest option for a hybrid starting at $20,630, the Prius C is a good bang for your buck if you’re looking for a hybrid. The Prius C features a 1.5L four-cylinder engine and a 45 kW motor generating a total of 99 horsepower. The Prius C doesn’t feature anything special other than its cheap price tag for a hybrid. The fuel mileage is good though, averaging 46 mpg, but the EV mode only allows you to travel one mile before the car switches back to petrol mode. Since the car is so cheap, it’s very barebones inside. The Prius C only comes standard with one USB port, Bluetooth connectivity and a touchscreen infotainment system.

THE GREEN GROCER

HelloFresh Launches Retail Product Line Meal-kit company HelloFresh recently added to its retail expansion. The brand can now be found in nearly 600 stores, including markets across Long Island, under the Ahold Delhaize brand’s Giant Food and Stop & Shop. The launch introduces delicious, fresh, grab-and-go meal kits to store shelves, ranging from $14.99 to $19.99, with offerings like Peppercorn Steak, Mediterranean Style Chicken, Homestyle Meatloaf, Chickpea Couscous and Paprika Chicken. All meals serve two and take less than 30 minutes to cook. The brand’s entry into retail comes soon after the company’s acquisition of Green Chef, the USDA-certified organic and certified gluten-free meal kit company that addresses dietary plans like Paleo, Keto, and Gluten-Free. “How we’ve been embraced by retail brands shows the quality product line HelloFresh has brought to

market,” said Tobias Hartmann, president for North America at HelloFresh. “HelloFresh strikes a chord with households that want fresh dinners on the table, without artificial ingredients or overly complicated recipes. The addition of retail, a channel well-placed

to benefit from the unique data, brand and infrastructure assets we have built out over the years, allows us to better address everyday needs for customers, adding what we view as a highly complementary customer segment.” HelloFresh expanded its

distribution network from five to 11 facilities to minimize travel time and maintain ingredient quality for retailers. The brand also designed unique packaging to optimize shelf space and drive profitable revenue streams for the grocer. The result is a delicious, fresh and convenient dinner option that retail brands have chosen as an essential part to modernizing their customer experience. “Grocers needed to profitably replace underperforming or low margin product categories and meet their customer demands for chef-curated, fresh and convenient meals,” said Hartmann. “Our retail line reduces the pressure on grocers to create these meals themselves and easily integrates into growing areas of their business such as online grocery and delivery.” To learn more about HelloFresh, visit www.hellofresh.com.

YOUR GREEN HOME Gardening is good for the earth. Plants are what keep the air clean, our bellies full and the spaces around us looking beautiful. Support the earth by making wiser choices and by incorporating plants indoors and outside of your home and office. Here are some ways you can be kinder to the earth today: Choose the right plant for the right location Planting trees and shrubs in the sunlight, moisture and temperature conditions they prefer means they will be happy—and less likely to contract insect and disease issues that might require the use of chemical controls.

Water the right way

about how you can make a difference. Start small with a task you can easily manage and grow (pun intended) from there. As Audrey Hepburn said, “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

Conserve water by giving your plants only what they need. Water your plants infrequently and deeply. This means applying all needed water in one watering, if possible. In other words, no more than once or twice a week. This encourages a deeper root system, which is healthier for plants. Also, water early in the day whenever possible to conserve water. You will lose a lot of water to evaporation if you water during the heat of the day. Follow your local municipality’s instructions for which days/times to water.

Add an outdoor air conditioner Installing large shade trees on the south side of your home will help to reduce the temperature inside your home by providing shade. Consider trees such as Zelkova, “October Glory” Maple, “Green Giant” Arborvitae, Red Oak and the Linden tree. You can also add shade plants near your air conditioning unit to increase its efficiency. Trees and shrubs provide oxygen, clean the air and are a haven for wildlife.

Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Minivans aren’t known for having the best fuel mileage, but the Chrysler Pacifica is an exception. The Pacifica Hybrid features a 3.6L six-cylinder and two 16 kWh motor generating an impressive 260 horsepower. The best part about the Pacifica Hybrid is its range in EV mode; on a single battery charge, the Pacifica can drive 33 miles, which is unheard of in hybrid vans. Fuel mileage too is impressive; the Pacifica averages 84 miles-per-gallon on the highway.

Honda Clarity Hybrid Starting at $33,400, the Honda Clarity Hybrid is a good alternative if you’re looking for a plug-in hybrid sedan instead of the Chevrolet Volt. The Clarity Hybrid features a 103 horsepower 1.5L four-cylinder engine and a 17 kWh lithium-ion battery generating a total of 212 horsepower. The biggest selling point about the Clarity is its Electric vehicle (EV) range; the Clarity has a range of 47 miles. The engine provides good mileage as well, averaging an mpg of 44 city/40 highway. Included with the Clarity is Honda Sensing technology, an eightinch infotainment touch screen, LED headlights, Honda LaneWatch, a multi-angle rearview camera, push to start, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, heated front seats and more.

One of the most important parts about a minivan is comfort and Chrysler didn’t forget about that. The Pacifica features many standard features such as satellite radio, remote start, a rearview camera, touchscreen infotainment, parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, heated front seats, a total of seven seats and much more.
