Sustainable Eating: Something Old, Something New


One of the issues that crops up frequently in environmentally-conscious media is the subject of sustainable eating. This means factoring in environmental impact when making dietary choices along with the usual determinents of price, quality, convenience, etc. The seminal 1970's classic on this subject is Diet for a Small Planet by Frances Moore Lappe'. Current environmental issues have revived the topics of sustainable eating and socially conscious consumption.

Check out these websites to explore sustainablity options or get ideas for making this part of your "green routine"!
