Are you hungry for more local food?
Are you concerned about climate change?
Don't despair ... take action!

Sunday May 11 in communities everywhere:
A moving Mother's Day celebration for
local agriculture and Mother Earth!
Can changing the way we eat really help cut climate change? Yes! Every time we buy corporate food trucked thousands of miles or burn oil driving to Walmart, we feed the insane system of industrial agriculture thatâs a leading cause of greenhouse gas pollution and global warming. But with simple steps such as supporting local sustainable farmers, growing more of our own food, and riding bikes, we can eat and feel better, build healthy carbon-rich soil and cleaner air, and slash the food miles cooking Earthâs climate!
What else can you do?
1) Join the Community Gardens CYCLEbration! On May 11 nationally (or another day in your community) organize a free bicycle tour of local organic farms and gardens. Use the artwork at http://cyclebration.wordpress.com to publicize your event. Encourage community members to grow your local food revolution by sharing land, labor, seeds and knowledge. End the ride with a community potluck, film screening, or discussion. Be creative and have fun!
2) Celebrate the Women's Garden Cycles Bike Tour! In 2007, three women embarked on a three-month-long bicycle journey to tour and document food-producing garden projects from Washington DC to Montreal and back again. Their inspiring film about the Women's Garden Cycles Bike Tour will be launched this May. Inspire yourself and others by watching it. Present the Women's Garden Cycles documentary film premier in your community and visit http://womensgardencycles.wordpress.com to see the film trailer!
