Spoiler alert: this luddite has figured out how to link to things and I'm gonna pull out all (ok, some of) the stops people.
Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC, which calls for reduced carbon emissions in the next few decades, is missing an important slice of the proverbial pie: FOOD. A recent resolution proposed by NYC Council Member Bill DeBlasio and supported by Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer and many of the city's food advocates seeks to add the carbon footprint of our food system to the list of fronts on which NYC should fight the good fight against climate change.
Kerry Trueman wrote about FoodPrintNYC and the importance of supporting this initiative on the Huffington Post today. Not only does she clearly outline the need to examine NYC's food system in the name of environmental sustainability as well as food justice, but she's friggin' funny! Read her post here. And, New Yorkers, do yourself a favor: buy a local peach this week. I defy you to eat that thing without dribbling.
