The American Farmland Trust agricultural lands preservation group is starting a "Keep it Local" campaign: Monday, “Let It Be” Local Former Beatle, and long-time vegetarian, Sir Paul McCartney is calling for Britons to “Help!” in his quest to give up meat every Monday. What if one day a week everyone in the United States ate local? Though foregoing food from a distance may seem like “A Hard Day’s Night,” you could drastically reduce your carbon footprint. If we could all “Come Together” and eat something from closer to home just one of the “Eight Days a Week,” positive change could be felt “Across the Universe.” So sit at Sir Paul’s table and go veggie on Monday; if giving up meat isn’t for you, sign our Keep It Local Pledge! The AFT "Keep it Local Pledge" is as follows.
* I pledge to spend: $5 / week $10 / week $20 / week $30 / week $40 / week $50 / week * On food and farm products within: 25 miles of my home 50 miles of my home 100 miles of my home 200 miles of my home 400 miles of my home The actual survey can be found at: http://action.farmland.org/site/Survey? _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
