  CSA?

  Maybe you & a friend or two could go in together & buy a share in a CSA. Then they would bring the veggies to your door, or, if they don't offer that (some don't) you could carpool to pick up. Best wishes to you!

  out-of-town market?

  Guess I'm fortunate - my local farm market is just that - LOCAL! I can walk to it. It's right downtown a block behind main street. And they aren't "middle-men", the farmers themselves (and/or their family members) bring the veggies to me!

  EN-lighten up!

  Not to mention all that plastic trash left over after we finish drinking...

  Plastic bottles require massive amounts of fossil fuels to manufacture and transport. Billions of these bottles wind up in landfills every year.

  And when bottled water marketing convinces one in five people that the only place to get drinking water is from a bottle, it threatens the political will to adequately fund our public water systems.

  thirsty

  Water is available for free in many, many places. Personally, I don't want water to become so "commoditized" that I have to BUY it when I'm out & about & get thirsty. When I'm getting ready to go out & about it isn't hard to grab my reusable water bottle and fill it up to take with me. If I run out & need more, I can re-fill at the drinking fountain in the park or grocery store. I don't know where you go when you're "around & about", but I think you can even find a drinking fountain at the mall! Of course, bottled water companies would prefer we don't have that option...just one more reason I make it a habit to bring my own! Use it or lose it!!!On Author Elizabeth Royte chats about the bottled-water boom and backlash posted 1 year, 4 months ago 7 Responses

  my food

  Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I think this is the scariest bad news I've seen yet. I really don't think Walmart will suddenly change its ways. It's just trying to increase its customer base. They just don't seem to understand that most people who understand the importance of buying local also know better than to shop at Walmart!On As the ground shifts under their feet, food giants experiment with new strategies posted 1 year, 4 months ago 8 Responses
