As Green As We Can Be
The Greenspot market in Dallas is providing biodegradable service ware, plates, cups,
e-tickets, and whatever other reusable, renewable, recyclable
features we can come up with. This is about local, organic and
green! The Greenspot - it's where "JD" gets his
biodiesel! |
Highlighting local food and sustainable sources of that food including
nearby farms and supporters of those farms, along with very real
needs such as nutrition and hunger among our neighbors and
beyond, are something I hope you can all get behind by
participating in our 2nd Annual Barn Aid event. This new urban
farm is striving to help make a difference in our community and
help spread the word as well as grow the food, to help do our
part.
Thank you in advance for considering your support of this
event! We hope to see you Sept. 19th.
