Eat Local and Win

By Kurt Friese

You know I'm always harping on people to eat more local, sustainable
food.  And I know, you already do.

But now, if you'll pledge to eat just 1 pound of local food each week,
you could win prizes like a new grill or a landscape makeover.

Did you know that food in the U.S. typically travels more than 1500
miles and generates five to 17 times more carbon emissions than food
grown locally?

If you pledge to eat at least one pound of local food each week – and
invite your friends to do the same – the folks at New dream will show
you the positive impact of your action and give you a shot at some
great prizes, including a $6000 eco-makeover for your yard!

Pledge to eat local today.  Go to:

From the Inconvenient Truth to Step It Up to the recent Live Earth
concerts, climate change is top-of-mind for millions of Americans.
People who never before considered the impact of their consumer
choices are now asking, "besides telling legislators to do their part,
what can someone like me do?"

And even those who disagree on the climate change issue can see the
benefits of eating locally - it's fresher and tastes better, and you
can shake the hand that raised the food.  That's important.

Click to pledge to eat a pound of local food, and eat well at
the same time!  Getting rewarded for stuff you do anyway?  That's
pretty sweet.


Peace,
