Address:
Cimate activist, journalist, and founder of 350.org – Bill McKibben – has organized another worldwide day of political action on October 10th. This time the theme is about getting to work to make a better, more sustainable future for our local towns and our world. Well we’ve done just that! Come celebrate those who grow, eat or serve local food. We are encouraging anyone who grows, eats or serves local food to meet us at the garden and bring some produce or food that has been grown locally. We will have a photo taken with our local food spelling out 350. At the end of the event all the produce will be donated to local hunger relief groups. Growing local food is good for the environment and builds community, both key aspects of Bill’s vision for a sustainable future. A community that can grow its own food is much more resilient and can better handle any upcoming climate events or energy price shocks. This event is free and open to the public. It will be hosted at the Lexington Interfaith Garden (interfaithgarden.org) and is sponsored by Lexington Global Warming Action Coalition (lexgwac.org), Lexington Community Farm Coalition (lexfarm.org) and supported by the League of Women Voters (lwvlexington.org) and Nourish Restaurant (nourishlexington.com).
