[SustainableTompkins] Grow Your Own

[Tony Del Plato]

*"But the act I want to talk about is growing some, even just a little, of
your own food. Rip out your lawn, if you have one, and if you don't, 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."*

An excerpt from author Michael Pollan's editorial in the New York Times this
week on dealing with Climate Change in your everyday life.
