Environmental issues has always been important to Courtney and Kristin Saden and yet they often felt alone in their efforts to continue to find ways to live more "green". They felt that a blog would be a great way to network with others in their area to share what they have discovered and learnt from others who may be on the same "green" journey. Courtney and Kristin especially wanted to make the focus of their blog local since there were already many great environmental blogs and websites. They wanted to provide a site where long time greenies could converse with the growing population of people who are just starting to look at ways to change their energy usage or environmental impact. They started their blog in February and little by little have tried to get the word out. Kristin and Courtney are looking at ways to advertise locally or link with other like-minded folks.They did host a Local Foods Fair in conjunction with their church this spring. They had local farmers and growers and other organizations (such as Slow Foods USA) staff booths and gave presentations about the benefits of eating locally. It was well attended and many families signed up for CSA subscriptions. They also had made arrangements children's tables where kids were able to taste foods produced in Wisconsin and learn about how they grow. More info is on our blog if you are interested.
