From Aug. 2007-Aug. 2008 I ate only foods raised or grown within 250 miles of my apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Since then, I’ve stuck to my 250-mile diet more often than not. I’d estimate that my post-250-mile diet is about 80% local.
To make it easier for others in the NYC area to eat local, I’ve organized my local foods shopping finds into a directory at http://www.localfork.com/locavoreguidenyc.aspx
I met Colin when we were both speakers at a Just Food event in 2007 and his zeal encouraged me to look at other ways besides food that I could change my lifestyle in a way that would be beneficial to the environment.
I will be blogging about my experiences during No Impact Week at http://ledameredith.net/wordpress. That will require electricity, and I don’t yet have the option of the solar gadget Colin had during his no impact year. I will do the best I can.
