The real test of a sustainable lifestyle is the registration of ecological sensitivity in everyday life, so while it’s great to outwardly campaign for environmentalism, it is equally important to utilize our most basic needs and habits to maximize our personal sustainable impacts. There is no need more basic than food, and I think it is because food is such a basic need that we often overlook its potential to affect environmental and social change. This week, grassrootSound is beginning a three-part series on food and sustainability. Over the next few weeks, we’ll hear from a variety of experts on the power of food to redefine regional and global ecologies, and I’ll meet with restaurant owners, coop executives, local foods advocates and non-profit directors. We hear from Sean Lunny, a co-owner of the Giving Tree Café, and Maija Cantori, the sole proprietor of Food for the Planet, two local restaurant owners who see sustainability as essential to their missions.
