In the midst of discussion about when the 2008 Seacoast Eat Local Challenge should take place (leaning toward July or August - comments welcome!), I went back and updated the [1] 2007 pledge page. There had been a few that came a little later in the month that I wanted to add, and I hope others will garner as much inspiration from these diverse and personal challenges as I do - I love reading about how other people approach the challenge, how they think about different foods, and how the challenge can mean so many things to so many people, and yet encourage everyone to add more local food to their lives than the current baseline. I know that my first challenge changed the way I eat forever, and each year’s challenge encourages me to continue to be thoughtful about my food in a way that is not only environmentally sustainable, but sustainable for me as well.
