The Green Foodprint: Food Choices for Healthy People and a Healthy Planet Linda Riebel

Publisher Marketing: Millions of citizens realize that their food choices can help - or hurt - the earth. But with so many decisions to make (omnivore or vegetarian? organic or conventional? global or local?), how can a busy person navigate all the possibilities? How can we turn our food footprint into a green foodprint? The Green Foodprint is a concise, practical guide through the new world of sustainable food, full of inspiring facts and true stories. For a wide audience, the book highlights positive changes and the power of citizens. Foreword by John Robbins, author of The Food Revolution. You'll find answers to these questions (and more): What are the 5 guidelines that make my food choices sustainable? What one activity produces the most positive results? How do I know if something is truly organic? How do I respond to conflicting evidence and debates? Can I really hold a green wedding? You'll read about: The mom who influenced 902 people to make an earth-saving decision. The wine detective who is saving endangered grapes. The cell phone service that helps you find sustainable fish. The town that was saved by food. The columnist and his friendly little "guilt extinguishers." What about time and money? How to find earth-friendly food if I have more time than money. What to do if I have more money than time. What to do if I don't have enough of either!
