Sign the local foods challenge

Greetings,

Thought my fellow vegetarians/vegans might be interested in signing
our Buy Local Challenge. It's meant to encourage purchasing foods
locally from sustainable farms. You can sign the challenge at
http://www.foodroutes.org/buy-local-challenge.jsp. Please see below if
you'd like more details.

Regards,

Those who have tasted local food know how much better it is than most
supermarket food. The truth is, local food tastes better and is
fresher than food that's trucked thousands of miles to your plate.

On top of that, buying local food supports your local economy, helps
keep family farmers on the land, and is better for the environment and
natural landscape.

Now you can pledge your support for local food by signing the
FoodRoutes "Buy Local" Challenge. You don't need to send any money;
just pledge to spend money each week on local food at the farmers
market, CSA, farm, or grocery store of your choosing.

The Challenge will let you make a customized online pledge to support
local foods. States can compete on our Challenge Scoreboard to see who
has pledged the most. Just click the link or copy the address into
your browser: http://www.foodroutes.org/buy-local-challenge.jsp

Sincerely,

The FoodRoutes Staff
