Get involved in a simple campaign to help stimulate a national move towards growing more of our food closer to home. We have started "One Million Gardens" (http://onemilliongardens.ning.com) who's goal is to identify, encourage, and document the creation of at least 1,000,000 food gardens throughout the U.S. in 2009.ill encourage others to add their gardens to this growing list.
... and put up an outside washing line while you're about it.
"One million washing lines" sure beats "one million dryers".

I have come from a family of gardeners so I always seem to be growing something. It is interesting to note that most soils are naturally deficient in some or many of the essential macro and micro-nutrients for healthy plant growth and hence, healthy produce. The mineral density of most foods grown in our gardens and on our farms is very low, even on organic farms (often the lowest). We must find out what minerals are present, and we must balance these along with our soil biology if we are to grow truly nutritious foods. Balance is the key. Not to mention the positive effects of 'growing' topsoil!!!

I agree, planting your eon veggies = zero food miles. I have a large plot at home, along with fruit trees and berry bushes. I also have an outside washing line, and one in the garage for winter drying.
