Grow Vegetables to Fight Climate Change

In the Green Issue of the New York Times Magazine, author Michael Pollan discusses whether individuals can and should do anything about climate change, then picks one thing that would make a huge difference at all levels: planting a vegetable garden, even if it only grows a small amount of your food:

"Rip out your lawn, if you have one, and if you don’t — if you live in a high-rise, or have a yard shrouded in shade — look into getting a plot in a community garden. Measured against the Problem We Face, planting a garden sounds pretty benign, I know, but in fact it’s one of the most powerful things an individual can do — to reduce your carbon footprint, sure, but more important, to reduce your sense of dependence and dividedness: to change the cheap-energy mind."

Donate your time and money to Green Corn Project, and you will be helping to feed Austin, one garden at a time, and combating climate change in one fell swoop!

You'll learn how to grow your own vegetables, help others learn to grow their own, and make a difference for the environment.
