Great article on the The Guardian website today about wasted food and it’s carbon and monetary foot print.
Details of the Love Food Hate Waste campaign can be found here.

A sparkly new article on the Southside CSA has just been posted at One-Earth.com.
One-Earth.com is a wiki-powered website which lists solutions to everyday environmental questions such as, “where can I compost my left over greens” and “eek - where can I take this girl I want to impress who is vegan?!”
Information is organized by city and by category (such as “home solutions” and “businesses and services”). And since we all like to think we know best, my favorite element is that it works like wikipedia - you can find resources in your neighborhood for environmental businesses, organizations and events and post it yourself! Yup, a website that actually thinks its users know best – bliss!
So come on SScsa - get posting! From the numerous emails we receive, I know y’all have much to share.
This site is brilliant and will get better and better as its users post on it.

The Hudson Valley Seed Library is looking for some creatively seedy people.
Their tag line says it all; Heirloom Seeds with Local Roots. An amazing project to create an accessible and affordable source of locally-adapted seeds and revive the local seed trade. Cool, eh?
Well, these good people sent out a call for artists, because when you order from them not only do you get great seeds, you get a beautiful package too. Anyways, they are looking for new artwork for the covers of its seed packs. They are specifically looking for artwork that helps reflect the diversity of the heirloom seeds offered in the catalog.
Submission and eligibility info here.
