we should get for
our tabling efforts- everything from T shirts to pens and I volunteered
to follow up on my idea of - organic seeds...<br>

could get seeds for our
tabling/fundraising. We can get a collection of 4 seed packages
which they suggest retailing at $10 each.<br>

It's geared for schools and for students to sell, but we might find
Green
Party members also interested in doing outreach to their communities
(considering the current political situation- and perhaps as a way to
get
people more aware of the corporate onslaught against our ability to get
healthy food). I'm including here just one of a flurry of posts
that I have received on new bills which do threaten small farmers.
We could create our own informational literature on this- but Seeds of
Change will also send us some- though they tend to inform on basic
health/educational rather than political issues...)<br>
<br>
Here are the options for quantity. Pleases give me feedback ASAP so
I can order this- or we can go through the treasurer depending on the
size of the order. (I don't mind donating some $ towards this
effort- beats the hell out of plastic coffee mugs in my
opinion....)<br>

<br>
In the simplest terms, organic food and a rebirth of farming were
winning. Not in absolute numbers but in a deep and growing shift by the
public toward understanding the connection between their food and their
health, between good food and true social pleasures, between their own
involvement in food and the improvement in their lives in general,
between local food and a burgeoning local economy.<br>
<br>
Slow Food was right - limit your food to what comes from your region
and
from real farmers, and slow down to cook it and linger over it with
friends and family, and the world begins to change for the better.
<br>
<br>
And as we face an unprecedented economic crisis, and it is hard to be
sure what has value, one thing that always does is food. Which is why
the
corporations are after absolute control over it. But what obstacles to
a
complete lock on food do they face? All the people in this country who
are "banking" on organic farming and urban gardens and most of
all, everyone's deepening pleasure in and increasing involvement with
everything about food.<br>
<br>
Farmers markets. Local farmers. Real milk. Fresh eggs. Vegetable
stands.<br>
