What Can I do to Help?

- Between 2002 and 2008 the number of farmers markets in the U.S. increased by nearly 50%
- Eat local! More than one fifth of all transportation emissions come from agriculture and food products
- If everyone converted 10% of their food to organic, we could capture an additional 6.5 billion pounds of carbon in soil (equivilant of taking 2 million cars off the road each year!)

The National School Lunch Program needs new funding for healthier food, stronger nutrition standards, and grants for linking schools to local farms. Take Action Below:
