Earth Day Craze

Okay. Evidently you've been wondering what I've been up to this month. Yeah, sorry about that. Work has been nutty, we did a little wedding planning and I came down with a case of the nasties....sinus stuff.
What has been dominating my thoughts lately? The impact my lifestyle has on this planet. Greg and I have tried very hard over the years to have as little negative impact as possible. Not that we're perfect by any means, we no longer carpool and it's taken a year and a half to find a recycling center near our new house. Thanks, Meredith!
My latest fascination has been with supporting local farms and reducing the mileage between our food sources and our kitchen table. I'm reading Plenty: One Man and One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally. It just came out last week and it has certainly has peaked my interest. I've done a little investigating about local farms and came across the following website. As it turns out, I can pick up a bag of locally grown produce and eggs once a week during the growing season. It's not the cheapest thing in the world, but until I can grow more than a herb garden and a few tomato plants in my yard; it will do. If you're inspired, you should check it out. I'll keep you posted on our attempt at doing more local eating! Bon appetit.
