Sustainable in KC?

Yikes! Food and gas prices soar while folks are lining up to get McDonald's in our back yard. When you smell grease 24/7 during the warmer months of the year and hear late-night drive-thru drunks all year 'round, it doesn't do much for the patience or the olfaction. Here is our little solution to soaring gas and food prices (it will smell better than fast food and do wonders for your patience): instead of buying plant starters this year, we have purchased a mini greenhouse and will attempt to grow some of the staple veggies from seeds. Broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, and squash will be on the menu this summer, not a Big Mac! (Big Mac's were NEVER on the menu to begin with, but I bet they too will become more and more expensive in the coming months). Eat fresh local fruits and veggies. Best Choice now makes Clearly Organic--which is yet another way to reduce your carbon footprint while balancing a tight budget.
