Local Food Celebration Group Photo
You may be aware of Bill McKibben’s efforts to organize another worldwide day of action on October 10th.
This time the theme is about getting to work to make a better, more sustainable future for our local towns and our world. When Bill was in town, he asked us if we could organize an event at the Lexington Interfaith Garden. Well we’ve done just that!
Come celebrate those who grow, eat or serve local food on Sunday, October 10th from Noon to 1PM.
We are encouraging anyone who grows, eats or serves local food to meet us at the garden and bring some produce or food that has been grown locally. I encourage you to come. Please RSVP here.
We will have a photo taken with all of our local food spelling out 350. At the end of the event all the produce will be donated to local hunger relief groups.
Growing local food is good for the environment and builds community, both key aspects of Bill’s vision for a sustainable future. A community that can grow its own food is much more resilient and can better handle any upcoming climate events or energy price shocks. This event is free and open to the public.
The local food celebration will be hosted at the Lexington Interfaith Garden and is also sponsored by the Lexington Global Warming Action Coalition (lexgwac.org), Lexington Community Farm Coalition (lexfarm.org) and supported by the League of Women Voters (lwvlexington.org) and Nourish Restaurant (nourishlexington.com).
