Dinner out:
It's hard to be impressed when the restaurant features Fully Belly Farm Greens and Organic Beets or Frog Hollow Farms Peaches on the menu when you shop at the same Farmer's Market. Because now you know that what is on your plate is exactly the same food you could have prepared at home.
An Inconvenient Truth:
When Al Gore shows his slides of a six meter rise in ocean levels inundating Manhattan, Florida, Shanghai, Calcutta, and then the San Francisco Bay, everyone in the audience leans forward to try and decipher exactly where in Berkeley (which is on the Bay) the new shoreline will be located. It's hard to tell, since the graphic goes by so quickly, but we're guessing that our property could be just three blocks from the water in our lifetimes.
