Sharing is Caring

Some of you may have read – and consequently, been concerned by – the article on Food Miles that we published in our Spring ’11 issue a few months back…. Well, the good news is that we’ve found Sharing Abundance – a local food system that can get you directly involved in picking that orange for yourself without having to digest the horrifying round-the-world-trip equivalent of transport time. Co-ordinated locally, you can volunteer your time, your tree or both and join your neighbours in harvesting fruit that would otherwise be left to waste in the corner of a backyard. Check it out and get involved in your local community! {Image from here}
