Earth Day is coming up in a week (Tuesday the 22nd), so in addition to updating the blog with recent articles, I'll be highlighting environmental issues related to local foods.
With that in mind, I'd like to point out the newly reissued 50 Simple Things You Can Do To Save the Earth. Environmentalists may remember the first publication of this book in 1990, and it's been updated to reflect the most pressing issues and the actions you can take. Many of them are related to our food choices, including:
#2 Go organic.
#13 Think globally, eat locally.
#29 Make new dirt. (i.e. composting)
#42 Hook, line, and sinker. (i.e. sustainable fisheries)
The authors encourage people to pick just one issue and make a real commitment. Visit the 50 Simple Things web site for more information and links.
