Subject: [SustainableTompkins] TCLocal on fruit in Tompkins County

TCLocal is a group of citizens developing strategies for dealing with
energy descent in Tompkins County. To that end, we're publishing one
article per month on a specific subject, examining that topic in the
light of higher energy prices. You can find them at:

http://www.tclocal.org/

Our first article examines producing fruits in Tompkins County after the
peak. These perishable but delicious and nutritious foods are a
critical component of local diets, and higher costs for transportation
and petroleum-based fertilizers will mean that we need to look closely
at ways of providing them locally.

The article explores the challenges of expanding fruit production, on
both large and small scales, and shows how different fruits can fill out
a seasonal calendar that covers the whole year. Action items recommend
options for both individuals and governments.

Future articles will cover roads, water treatment, urban land use,
household preparation, and health, with around one article per month.

The new TCLocal site is specifically designed to get your feedback on
these plans as they are developed. These articles are a starting point
for a conversation we hope will include a wide variety of readers coming
at these issues from different perspectives. We welcome comments, and
hope to find more good ideas through public discussion.

Thanks,
Simon St.Laurent
Chair, TCLocal
