Slow Food Nation, a celebration of flavorful American foods from small-scale producers, took by San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza that wee hours. Hundreds of foodies, hungry downtown office workers, environmental activists, and others lined up at booths run by more than 50 California farmers and artisans to sample and purchase fresh organic peaches, handmade pickles, heirloom tomatoes, and dozens of other carefully cultivated foods around city hall’s new “victory garden.”
A few of our favori…

Marion Nestle, author of What to Eat and a professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at NYU, lives in what she calls Junk Food City. More commonly known as Manhattan, the city has some competition for the title, but Nestle today used her experiences in the Big Apple to illustrate for attendees of a Slow Food Nation forum how she sees nutrition and public health connecting with waste and the environment.
In January, New York City passed legislation requiring all restaurants in th…

Over the past few months, the gas crisis has inspired an endless parade of suggestions for reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil. From opening offshore drilling to distilling ethanol to fast-tracking a fuel-cell car program, there has been no lack of plans for cutting oil imports. Ironically, while these impressive, innovative solutions have crowded the news, relatively little attention has been paid to one of America’s most energy efficient forms of shipping and transportation: railw…

With diesel gas prices on the rise, school districts across the country are cutting back on their bus service bby eliminating busing, consolidating bus stops, canceling field trips and making students walk longer distances to school, according to an AP composition.
While walking to school sounds healthier, some are alarmed. Bob Riley, of the American School Bus Council (not an objective group, but nevertheless) makes a great point: When you remove a school bus from the road, it doesn’t me…

This is the sort of brilliant notion that seems so logical that it’s hard to believe we’re just hearing it now.
With the cost of oil skyrocketing, the value of things made with oil, like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, is rising too.In the past year, the value of a ton of HDPE has more than doubled.
Because HDPE is very heat and solvent resistant, it has a lot of commercial uses, like for pipes and chemical containers. It plus turns up in domestic settings, in laundry detergent b…

The concept of beginning to compost can be daunting. Still, it’s extremely vital to the planet, and there are plenty of guides out there that can be extremely helpful.
Food makes up an incredible amount of your personal waste. From the produce you didn’t eat before it spoiled to the leftovers you couldn’t finish, much of that food could be composted instead of trashed. In fact, the average household wastes about a quarter of the produce bought, translating to about $500 per year.
