ALERT!! HELPFUL TOOL!

I have a confession...this awesome link isn't exclusivly about the impact food has on our enviroment, BUT it is a useful tool for all the blog groups, whether you are studying local food, health risks, finacial impacts, etc.  This online 'atlas' is sponsored by the USDA and gives recent, accurate data (within the last five years for the most part). This tool can give entire country stats or focus on regional parts.  And let me tell you, on the grand scheme of things the Southeast is the LOSER of the country in just about every category.  Check it out (I'd suggest putting it with the other websites you have on your blog) and refer to it for data if you need to support an arguement!!

GO GREEN!
