SUSTAINABILITY TIP & QUOTE OF THE WEEK:RIP OUT YOUR LAWN..."But the act I want to talk about is growing some, even just a little, of your own food. Rip out your lawn, if you have one, and if you don't, look into getting a plot in a community garden. Measured against the problem we face, planting a garden sounds pretty benign, I know, but in fact it's one of the most powerful things an individual can do to reduce your carbon footprint, sure, but more important, to reduce your sense of dependence and dividedness: to change the cheap-energy mind."
An excerpt from author Michael Pollan's editorial in the New York Times this week on dealing with Climate Change in your everyday life.
