Propeller Sustainability Series: "FOOD, Part 2" — Mar 17th 2008

By Alexia Prichard

In this video we learn a bit about eating locally. Many of us aren't aware how much food is grown right around our homes. Many of us haven't ever thought about it, but when you do the math, the savings on several fronts will astound and please you...

Check out "The 100-Mile Diet" for some great insight into eating locally. Then look around your own area to see what you have available in your foodshed. One way to find some great resources is to check LocalHarvest.org and the website for your local "CSA," or Community Supported Agriculture (you can find CSAs around via LocalHarvest). These sites will get you on your way.

Lastly, for the Ready-To-Be-Hardcore, check out the National Center for Home Food Preservation so you don't poison yourself with that pickle

Shout out: Many thanks to Jennifer Kongs of Media & The Environment at Kansas University, and Joanne Poyourow of Environmental Changemakers for all their help!

Good eating everyone!
