Everything you need to know about becoming an earth-friendly eater!
Did you know that modern agriculture damages our planet even more than automobiles do? Industrial agriculture overuses pesticides, herbicides, and antibiotics; these in turn pollute air, water, and soil. Packaging and long-distance distribution use paper, plastic, refrigeration, and gasoline. See The Problem. Fortunately, farmers, chefs, researchers, and entrepreneurs have invented solutions that are delicious as well as healthy for the earth -- and for your body. See Solutions. But how is a busy person to sort out the best choices that fit his or her lifestyle? The Earth-Friendly Food Chain shows you how. The book, which came out in January, 2010, includes the latest in creative ideas for saving the earth with your food choices. "The Earth-Friendly Food Chain lights our way to living with respect for ourselves and the earth, for making food choices that bring us both greater personal health and also greater planetary health. There is excellent counsel in this book." "A terrific book that includes data, what others are doing, what the consumer/book reader can choose to do.it covers a lot of ground. I also like that it suggests changing behavior in the context of the bigger picture. Just what I wanted to address in our retail effort, and now you have put it in a book. I really appreciate it. I definitely want it as part of our media collection." Polly Rich, Sustainable Design (www.sustainabledesign.vpweb.com). |
