Save the planet. Cut the B.S.
More LessI'm a displaced Cajun in the Bay Area with a love of food, familly, and fun. I don't consider myself to be a hippie, an environmentalist, or any sort of saint in any sort of movement. However, I am an avid communitarian. I believe in buying local and doing as much as you can to reduce your impact on the Earth. My goal is to make "living green" something that isn't so zealous, isn't so "crazy" and isn't so hard. I am a horrible gardener, but I try to buy local produce when I can or keep my Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) membership current. I cook most things from scratch. I love pot lucks and people and family. My pet peeve lately are businesses who use the "green" label to get away with murder. I want it to stop. We need to stop justifying shopping trips to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods as somehow being "holier" than the local big grocery store or even WalMart. We need to stop lying to ourselves. Having said that, I make a mean gumbo.
