Does it matter where your food comes from? Here's an interesting report about the environmental costs of transporting food across the world. Check out the interactive feature showing the carbon footprint for wine sold in New York. So there's got to be a less-polluting way to get food...Last week I read an article about urban farming in The Wall Street Journal (only the blog entry is available now) and then found out a similar story appeared on Good Morning America just yesterday. See where I found the photo, above, and find more information.
For even more fun and excitement, here we can have chickens in the backyard as well. Three neighbors within a block of our house each have a small flock. Something to think about for when the boys are a little bit older... No, really! It's part of our long-term plan. Seriously.
